- Once again a highly rehearsed intro.
- Here we go.
All right, I'm here with a difficult patient
so Brad Heineck, We get injured all the time to get hurt
and develop issues that we didn't see coming.
So Brad woke up last night, right?
Or no, showed up yesterday, right?
- Yeah, well, I know what I did
'cause I did something I shouldn't have did
as far as a posture thing.
But anyways, last night I woke up with neck pain
so bad that I couldn't lift my head off the pillow
unless I grabbed my hair and pulled it.
So I adjusted pillows blah, blah, blah
went out to the couch,
see if I could get better there nothing there.
I went to the recliner, finally, I could find a position
I could sleep in for a couple hours
otherwise I was not sleeping.
So my symptoms are pain left side of the neck,
up at the hairline.
- Right up to the hairline, yeah right up at the base
of this, the...
- Hurts when you bend down like that
it hurts to bend over to pick something up.
It hurts to go to the right that far
and it Ooh, hurts right there to go to the left.
So Bob's gonna do a, what we call a mobilization
on the upper cervical vertebras
and you know he can get into the details.
- Yeah, so we're gonna see...
- I'm gonna take my mic off now 'cause it gets on a way.
- A lot of your rotation occurs at the upper level
of like C1 and C2
and we'll show that I'm gonna go ahead
and push on the lateral bone there.
So I'll show on the spine after this Brad okay?
All right, you wanna go ahead,
I'm gonna put a little pressure, is that all right?
(indistinct)
Okay, now turn to the right.
So I'm helping with the accessory movement basically
why don't you back up again Brad
turn and bring up back again, are you okay so far?
So you see he's going further already, come back again
now which I like to stop usually after three
just to see how you're doing, you're doing okay?
All right, this time now I wanna push,
I'm gonna have you do a little over pressure
with your hand, okay?
Brad's saying it feels pretty good
and you can see it's actually going further.
Why don't we do two more and then we'll stop,
okay, and why don't you give it a little one more
a little over pressure again.
Good, now he can do these himself
he can take his finger
and he grab that spot and apply pressure
and then do turns with that, like that
and I'll show you on the spine, what we're doing here.
So here is C1
and look how it has this big wing that comes out there.
That's what I got my thumb on
I got thumb and finger right on that bone
that sticks out there
and I'm helping it move along and get movement there.
Sometimes it seems like this bone almost gets stuck
to the one below it and so they're all turning
and it hurts to turn
because it's going further than it should
it's not getting any help from this bone.
So I actually I'm pushing right here on that bone
and helping it turn.
So that's called a mobilization in the therapy world
but you can take your own finger and put it on there
and as long as this pain free
you can go ahead and do the movement
and there's nothing wrong with doing this,
I mean, of trying it.
So if you wake up with a stiff neck
it's something you can...
- Are we gonna try the other direction?
- If you want we can.
- Well, let's see what happens because that direction
actually was a little more painful to go before
so I'm curious.
- Was it on all the pain on this side though?
Okay, so we actually should keep the thumb on this side then
believe it or not.
So I'm gonna put this here, okay?
(mumbling) a little higher maybe, right there?
- Yep.
- Okay, now, good posture
and now turn to the left, that okay?
So again, we think it's stuck on the left side
so that's why even though I'm going to the
he's going to left
you'd think that you went to the bone on the right
but you actually stick with the one on the left.
We'll just do a couple more
I don't know if there's a magic number here
but look at that, there you go
start to look like a normal neck and we'll leave it at that.
If you're getting some pain and with turning
this is something you can try
but again it should be pain-free otherwise I wouldn't do it.
(indistinct)
Sure, Brad says you're gonna try it without anything now
and you can see he's moving better.
It's still stiff, but moving a lot better.
He said to the left is much better so.
