00:02Bend backwards?
00:03Yeah.
00:04Perfect.
00:05Okay.
00:06So, looks like you're moving pretty good.
00:08So, let's see how your spine is doing.
00:10We'll have you go face down.
00:12Face will go right here.
00:13There's a little wrist rest that you can rest your hands on.
00:17Perfect.
00:20Okay, go right down here.
00:22There you go.
00:23Okay, and then scoot down just a little bit for me.
00:25Perfect.
00:28Yeah, a little stiff through there.
00:33Up through here too.
00:42Okay, stiff there also.
00:45Yeah, I can definitely tell it's been a while since you've been adjusted.
00:52Okay, there too.
00:58Okay.
01:02Okay.
01:04So, definitely tight there.
01:05We'll probably start right up here.
01:06We'll do a little bit of a massage gun here to loosen things up.
01:08Okay.
01:09And then we'll get started.
01:11Is that all right?
01:12Yeah.
01:13Okay.
01:30Doing good there?
01:31Awesome.
01:33So, we'll start here with the base of your neck.
01:37I'm going to put my hand here.
01:38I'm going to kind of give you a little bit of a turn.
01:41So, nice and easy.
01:43Good.
01:45Perfect.
01:46Okay.
01:49Good.
01:51Okay, that moved great for us.
01:54So, we're going to do these from face up.
02:05So, let's have you lay on your back for me.
02:08Perfect.
02:09Okay.
02:10I'm going to push you down just a little bit.
02:11Yeah.
02:12Okay.
02:13So, we're going to get those ribs and that upper back.
02:15So, for this one, this hand is going to go right here on your collarbone.
02:18Okay.
02:19And then this hand is going to kind of reach down my back almost like you're giving me a hug.
02:24Okay.
02:25Okay.
02:26So, we're going to go here.
02:27Perfect.
02:28And just let the whole shoulder relax.
02:29Yeah.
02:30So, you feel how tight that is right in there?
02:32Hold on.
02:33Okay.
02:34Breathe in and out.
02:36Let the whole shoulder relax.
02:38Good.
02:40Oh, yeah.
02:41Okay.
02:42What do you think about that?
02:43That was awesome.
02:44That side was a little bit worse.
02:46Now, this side we're going to do like this because that one was more the ribs.
02:51This is the middle of your back.
02:52Okay.
02:56Yeah.
02:57Okay.
02:58Breathe in.
02:59Out.
03:00Good.
03:01Shoulders loose.
03:03Tough there.
03:05Let's try one more.
03:08Breathe in.
03:09Out.
03:10Good.
03:11Loose shoulders all the way down to the table.
03:14There we go.
03:16So, let's scoot up here towards the head of the table.
03:20Perfect.
03:30Okay.
03:32Right there, huh?
03:33No, right there hurts.
03:34And just let that head be nice and heavy, okay?
03:36I'll take all the weight.
03:38Good.
03:39Perfect.
03:42Good.
03:48Good.
03:49Okay.
03:50Do you have any pain if we go there?
03:52No.
03:53Okay.
03:54Deep breath in.
03:55Out.
03:58Good.
03:59Nice decompression there.
04:03Okay.
04:04Okay.
04:05How are we feeling so far?
04:06Good?
04:07Okay.
04:08Let's go face down again and see if there's anything else in that kind of shoulder blade area.
04:13Good.
04:18Okay.
04:21So, deep breath in.
04:24Out.
04:25Let the shoulders fall.
04:28Okay.
04:29A little tough there.
04:31I did get the ribs real good on that side.
04:34Okay, I'm going to put my hand under your hip here.
04:36And then on this side, I'm going to work on these ribs.
04:38So, let this hip be nice and relaxed.
04:40Good.
04:41Yeah.
04:46Perfect.
04:48And then, let's see over here.
04:56Good.
04:57Okay.
04:59Deep breath in there.
05:04Okay.
05:05All right.
05:06So, now, let's have you roll on your side.
05:08You're going to face me over here.
05:10And I'll lift this up.
05:13Doing okay?
05:14Mm-hmm.
05:15Good.
05:16So, you're going to lay on your shoulder.
05:17Perfect.
05:18Yeah.
05:19So, your bottom leg will be straight.
05:20Top leg will be bent, just like that.
05:22I'm going to bring your hip closer a little bit.
05:24Good.
05:26And then I'll pull you off the shoulder a little bit.
05:28Good.
05:29And right there.
05:30Awesome.
05:31Is that comfortable for you?
05:32Cool.
05:33So, this is going to be for this low back and hip.
05:38Good.
05:39Other side.
05:45Yeah.
05:46So, now, we're going to do everything but backwards.
05:47So, we'll go right here.
05:49Perfect.
05:50And there.
05:51Bring that hip forward.
05:52There we go.
05:54So, deep breath in.
05:58And out.
05:59Good.
06:00Nice and easy.
06:02Good.
06:03Okay.
06:04How was that?
06:05Good.
06:06Okay, we'll have you lay flat on your back again.
06:11And let's take a look at these hips.
06:13So, pretty good there.
06:17A little stiff coming out.
06:19Yeah.
06:20More coming out.
06:21Okay.
06:22So, we're going to go ahead and get this.
06:24Not anymore.
06:26We'll get you back to the splits in no time.
06:27Yes.
06:28So, we'll go here.
06:29I'm going to give you a little pull.
06:30Good.
06:31And now, feel that.
06:34And here.
06:36How's that feel?
06:37Much better.
06:38Better?
06:39Good.
06:40A little pull on the knee.
06:45Good.
06:53Good.
06:54Okay.
06:55Now, let's take a look at this hip.
06:59Pretty good on this side.
07:01A little tight there.
07:02So, we'll do kind of the same thing.
07:04So, nice and loose.
07:09Good.
07:10Awesome.
07:14And, yeah, how's that feel?
07:17Better?
07:19Good.

07:39Yeah.
07:40Crunchy, huh?

07:58No.
07:59No?
08:00That's awesome.
08:01Okay.
08:07Good.
08:12Okay.
08:16Good.
08:17Okay.
08:18And then we'll have you sit up and face this way towards me.
08:21Yeah, this way.
08:23Perfect.
08:24So, we're going to take a look at those shoulders.
08:27So, we're going to come across, over.
08:32Okay.
08:33And then we'll go right here.
08:34And then just relax your whole arm.
08:35Awesome.
08:38A little bit.
08:39Okay.
08:40Let's have you put that hand right on your waist.
08:42Yeah.
08:43I'm going to hold right here.
08:44I'm going to pull your elbow towards me.
08:45Keep your arm relaxed.
08:46Good.
08:47And now pull backwards.
08:48A little more, a little more, a little more.
08:50There we go.
08:53And then, yeah, how's that feel?
08:57Way better.
08:59A little pop there.
09:00Okay.
09:01We're going to go right here.
09:02Everything loose.
09:04Good.
09:05And then, same thing.
09:06You're going to put that hand on your waist.
09:08Perfect.
09:09I'm going to pull forward nice and loose first.
09:11And now pull back.
09:12Hard, hard, hard.
09:13Yeah.
09:17And then, better.
09:21Good.
09:22Feel more open?
09:23Mm-hmm.
09:24Let's have you take everything for a test drive, see how you feel.
09:27So we can do our kind of toe touch back bend.
09:33Good.
09:34How does that feel?
09:35Good.
09:36Yeah.
09:37And then I'm just going to take a look here and see how well the neck is moving.
09:41You should be okay.
09:42Scoot back a little towards me.
09:44And then a little bit over to the right.
09:46This way.
09:47There we go.
09:48Okay.
09:49So let's just see how well everything's moving.
09:51Oh, yeah.
09:52We're really tight right there.
09:53Is that tender at all?
09:55Kind of.
09:56Hurts a little?
09:57I'm also in school, so it's like a lot of stress.
09:59Stress and studying.
10:01I'm glad that I'm not in school anymore.
10:03Yeah.
10:04Right side's not quite as bad.
10:05We definitely are really stuck right here.
10:07It's like C4, C5 area on this side.
10:10I'm going to hop up on the table with you,
10:12and I'm going to kind of give your head a little bit of a hug.
10:15So I'm going to go right here, right into that spot.
10:19I'm going to go here.
10:20I'm going to turn you a little.
10:22Good.
10:23And then kind of lean back on my leg a little.
10:25Yeah.
10:26Oh, my goodness.
10:29How do we feel there?
10:31That I wasn't expecting.
10:33Oh, my God.
10:34Wow.
10:35Okay.
10:36Doing okay?
10:37Yeah.
10:38That's kind of an intense one.
10:41Good.
10:44Oh, my God.
10:46I didn't know that could happen.
10:48Oh, my God.
10:50It wasn't like the other adjustment.
10:52Yeah.
10:53Not like the last Chiro?
10:54Yeah.
10:55Yeah.
10:56A little crazy, huh?
10:57That felt really nice.
10:58Okay.
10:59Now let's have you go ahead and go face down.
11:01Your face will go right here where the paper is,
11:03and just drop your arms off the sides.
11:05Perfect.
11:06Just like that.
11:11A little tight in some of these spots.
11:14Any pain here?
11:16No.
11:17Here?
11:18No, it just feels like ten.
11:19Yeah, just a little tender and tight.
11:22We're going to come in here with some of these ribs.
11:25My hand's going to go under your hip here,
11:27and then we're just going to leave your belly as loose as you can,
11:30give you a little twist and a little push.
11:33Oh, my God.
11:34Same thing over here.
11:35My hand's going to go under your hip.
11:37I'm going to lift you up.
11:40Oh, wow.
11:43I feel like you can breathe a little better.
11:44I needed that.
11:46Okay.
11:47Let's have you lay on your back now.
11:50Perfect.
11:53Good.
11:55Big breath in.
11:57Out.
11:58Good.
11:59Loose shoulders.
12:00Oh, wow.
12:03One more.
12:07Okay.
12:08I think we got most of that from face down.
12:09Yeah.
12:10Okay.
12:11So now let's have you lay on your side.
12:13You'll face me over here.
12:14Like this?
12:15Yeah.
12:16Okay.
12:17Let's bring this hip forward a little bit.
12:19Can you face me?
12:20Yeah, perfect.
12:21Just like that.
12:22Big breath in.
12:23Out.
12:26Good.
12:27Pretty good there.
12:28Okay.
12:29Other side.
12:31Good.
12:34This is going to be the same kind of thing.
12:35So let's bring that hip forward a little.
12:36Good.
12:37Out.
12:40Good.
12:42Doing all right?
12:43Yeah.
12:44Okay.
12:45I'm going to take this pillow from you,
12:46and I'm going to put it on your hips here.
12:49I'm going to give you a little pull.
12:53And one more here.
12:57Oh, I needed that.
13:00Kind of crazy, huh?
13:01Oh, my God, yeah.
13:02Okay.
13:03Let's scoot you up a bit now.
13:04And then...
13:06This is the one I'm nervous about.
13:08Yeah.
13:09Just halfway loose here.
13:10Kind of relaxed.
13:12A little more loose for me.
13:13Yeah, perfect.
13:15Very tight on this right side.
13:18Can you feel like this?
13:20Yeah.
13:21I can feel it.
13:22Yeah, you're kicking out over on this side.
13:23So open slowly, and then close.
13:25Open.
13:26Close.
13:27Yeah, we're really kicking out over here.
13:29Get that joint to calm down.
13:30So what we're going to do is we're going to put your head on this pillow here.
13:32I'll have you lift your head up.
13:34Perfect.
13:35I'm going to wipe your cheek just a little.
13:37Sorry.
13:38No, you're fine.
13:39I just want to make sure I don't slip.
13:41Okay.
13:42So this one's going to be a little kind of fast.
13:45Okay.
13:46But what we're going to do is we're going to turn your head to the side here.
13:49So we're going to go right here.
13:53Good.
13:56Oh.
13:57Good.
13:58Okay.
13:59Doing okay?
14:00Yeah.
14:01All right.
14:02And then we're going to go to this side.
14:03Good.
14:04Loose.
14:06Good.
14:07Oh, my God.
14:08Doing okay?
14:09Mm-hmm.
14:10Halfway open.
14:11It's still a little tight.
14:13Okay.
14:14We're going to try one more version of this, okay?
14:15Mm-hmm.
14:16Doing all right?
14:17Yeah.
14:18I thought it would hurt, but it didn't.
14:20Yeah.
14:21It looks a little crazier than it feels.
14:24There it is.
14:26Oh, my God.
14:27Oh, my God.
14:30Wow.
14:31Ready for the other side?
14:32Mm-hmm.
14:33Okay.
14:34Good.
14:35Loose.
14:39A little better.
14:40Okay.
14:41Now open, close, open, close.
14:44Oh.
14:45A little bit of popping still.
14:47We're moving better, though.
14:49So that's one that we're going to kind of keep revisiting as we keep working with you.
14:51Oh, no.
14:52And then let's go ahead and decompress you, and then we'll be all set for the day.
14:55Okay.
14:56So...
14:57Oh, my God.
14:58I feel like I've been needing that for years.
15:00Yeah.
15:01Right here and right here.
15:04Big breath in.
15:08Out.
15:09Loose.
15:11Good.
15:12I feel so good.
15:13You feel good?
15:14Yeah.
15:15Okay, so we're going to...
15:16I feel like I've said that so many times.
15:17Oh, it's okay.
15:18Oh.
15:19So we'll have you have a seat back over there, and let's see how everything feels now compared
15:27to before.
15:28I feel like I've been needing all of that.
15:30The jaw and everything especially.
15:31Yeah.
15:32Yeah.
15:33Oh, yeah, the jaw.
15:35Yeah, I've had it for years now, but I just never did anything.
15:38I mean, I thought I would need surgery or something, so I just never even looked into it.
15:42Yeah.
15:43Usually, we don't have to do surgery or anything like that for stuff like this.
15:45Usually, it just takes a little bit to get that joint moving, and a lot of the symptoms
15:48come right down.
15:49Yeah.
15:50And how's that back and neck?
15:51Oh, it feels so nice.
15:52Oh, my God.
15:53Yeah.
15:54All right.
15:55It just feels like it was kind of pulled apart.
15:56I don't know.
15:57Decompress, a little bit more open.
15:58Decompress, yeah.
15:59Cool.
16:00Oh, God.
16:02A few years ago, when I finished the Army, I noticed that all this side, it just, I feel
16:08like it's not straight like it's supposed to.
16:10Yeah, I feel a little out of whack.
16:12Just like the weapon.
16:14Yeah.
16:15Like this.
16:16Or are you a veteran?
16:17In a different country.
16:18Okay, gotcha.
16:19Yeah, in Israel.
16:20Gotcha.
16:21I did the Army for two years.
16:22Okay.
16:23So the weapon, it sits like this.
16:24So then it's like...
16:25Pulling on you.
16:26Yeah.
16:27Okay.
16:28And I work out almost every day, and I'm healthy, and I'm trying to be very like...
16:31But I still feel it.
16:32Yeah.
16:33Just feel a little out of whack.
16:34Yes.
16:35And lately, it's like got worse.
16:36Okay.
16:37I literally feel like my, like I'm not straight, like I can't go.
16:41You feel compressed.
16:42Yes.
16:43Yeah.
16:44Okay.
16:45And let me have you stand up for me, and you're going to reach down, touch your toes as far
16:47as you can.
16:48Okay.
16:49And then come on up and bend backwards as far as you can.
16:51Okay.
16:52Does that hurt?
16:53A little bit.
16:54A little bit.
16:55Where is it uncomfortable?
16:56Here.
16:57Right across there.
16:58Okay.
16:59So, let's see what's going on here.
17:02What we'll do is we'll have you come on over here.
17:04You're going to go face down.
17:05Your face will go right here where the paper is.
17:07There's a little handle right there that you can grab onto.
17:15Let me have you scoot down just a little bit.
17:17Right there.
17:18Is that comfortable for you?
17:19Yes.
17:20Okay.
17:21So, if I press here, do you have any pain?
17:22No.
17:23Okay.
17:24What about here?
17:27Just discomfort?
17:28Yeah.
17:29Okay.
17:34A little bit tight right there, too.
17:36Okay.
17:37So, we're going to start here with your upper back, and then we'll move our way around,
17:39okay?
17:41I'm going to give you a little push, and I'm going to turn your head to the side.
17:43So, keep your neck nice and loose.
17:47Good.
17:48Oh, my gosh.
17:49Oh, good?
17:50Well done.
17:52Okay.
17:53Surprising?
17:54Yes.
17:55Okay.
17:56One more.
17:57Right here.
17:59Good.
18:02All right.
18:03Right here.
18:04My hand's going to go under your hip, and then just relax your belly.
18:07A little push.
18:10Good.
18:16Okay.
18:17Same thing here.
18:22Good.
18:23Let's have you lay on your back for me now.
18:25How are we feeling?
18:27I feel like I'm in shock.
18:28In shock?
18:30Wow.
18:32Okay.
18:33Scoot up towards me a little bit.
18:34Perfect.
18:39Right there.
18:41All right.
18:42Nice and easy.
18:46Good.
18:47How are we feeling?
18:50It's not painful.
18:51Just...
18:52Surprising.
18:53Yes.
18:54Kind of fast.
18:58Good.
18:59Oh, my gosh.
19:02Okay.
19:03We're going to decompress you a little bit, so let's have you lift your head up for me,
19:07and then set it down.
19:08Perfect.
19:09Now, if I pull here, do you have any pain, or that feels okay?
19:13Pain.
19:14Where do you feel the pain?
19:15I think here.
19:18And here.
19:19Okay.
19:20It's a little bit, like, I don't know.
19:21For me, it's fine.
19:22I can live with it, but it's painful.
19:23Okay.
19:24I'm going to go here.
19:25I'm going to give you a little test pull and tell me if anything hurts, okay?
19:27So, is this painful, or that feels okay?
19:32Painful a little bit here.
19:33It's, like, pushing.
19:35Does it feel like pressure?
19:36Yes.
19:37Okay.
19:38All right.
19:39So, take a deep breath in for me.
19:40I'm going to give you a little pull.
19:43There we go.
19:45Wow.
19:46How'd that feel?
19:47Amazing.
19:50Wow.
19:51Not painful, right?
19:52No.
19:53Like, everything opened up, right?
19:54Yes.
19:55Like, I felt moving.
19:56Oh, my God.
19:57Yeah.
19:58Oh, gosh.
19:59I love it.
20:00Okay.
20:01Okay.
20:02Wow.
20:03So, now, let's take a look at your hips.
20:04Yes.
20:05Your pelvis first, and then your hips on the outside will be next.
20:06Okay?
20:07Go ahead.
20:08So, your head will go right there.
20:09Perfect.
20:10So, your bottom leg is going to be straight.
20:11Top leg is going to be bent.
20:13Good.
20:15I'm going to go right here and right here.
20:18Perfect.
20:19That okay for you?
20:20Yes.
20:21Okay.
20:22So, we're going to adjust right here.
20:23Deep breath.
20:24Out.
20:28Wow.
20:29I was going to break something.
20:31No, you're not going to break anything.
20:32Oh, God.
20:33Okay.
20:34Let's roll to the other side.
20:35Wow.
20:38I don't know why I waited so many years.
20:40Yeah.
20:41What the heck?
20:42Okay.
20:43You couldn't have been feeling this good a long time ago.
20:45Oh, God.
20:46Good.
20:47Right there.
20:48Breathe in.
20:50Good.
20:55Yes.
20:56You needed this, huh?
20:57Definitely.
20:59So, you lay on your back now.
21:00I want this to grab it here.
21:02There you go.
21:03Okay.
21:04So, we're going to adjust your hip joint here.
21:06Let's see here.
21:09Yeah.
21:10Okay.
21:11So, let's drop this leg down.
21:13Perfect.
21:14Okay.
21:16It's like I'm scared, but then it's fine.
21:18So, that's it.
21:19It's hard.
21:20Okay.
21:23You think those are different, right?
21:25Yeah, this one's tighter.
21:26It feels like.
21:29Good.
21:30Okay.
21:31So, let's sit you up.
21:32Oh, my gosh.
21:33Okay.
21:34How do we feel?
21:36Good.
21:37I feel good.
21:38Good.
21:39Good.
21:40Good.
21:41Good.
21:42Good.
21:43Good.
21:45I feel like this area, like, not painful.
21:48I just feel like.
21:49You feel a little sore from twisting, yeah?
21:51Yeah.
21:52Yeah.
21:53It's fine.
21:54Okay.
21:55Let's have you go face down.
21:56We'll do a little bit of massage gum to help that area calm down.
21:57Okay.
21:58This will help with that.
22:15A little bit tight.
22:16Yeah.
22:17Yeah.
22:19Okay.
22:20One more thing here.
22:23Oh, you can stay right where you are.
22:25Doing okay?
22:26Yes.
22:27All right.
22:29Good.
22:44Okay.
22:45And that should help a little bit with the soreness.
22:46So, let's have you hop up and see how that feels.
22:47Better?
22:48Yeah.
22:49Okay.
22:50Good.
22:51Good.
22:52Good.
22:53Good.
22:54Good.
22:55Good.
22:56Good.
22:57Good.
22:58Good.
22:59Good.
23:00Good.
23:01Good.
23:02Good.
23:03Good.
23:04Good.
23:05Good.
23:06Good.
23:07Good.
23:08Good.
23:09Good.
23:10Good.
23:11Good.
23:12Good.
23:13Good.
23:14Good.
23:15Good.
23:19You're a little bit more spasmed up.
23:20Yeah.
23:23Good.
23:24Let's try a couple of those movements again and see how everything feels by comparison.
23:27So, we'll have you stand here again and do your toe touch.
23:33Okay.
23:35Better?
23:37Yeah, all the way down.
23:38We'll have you bend back as far as you can.
23:41Good.
23:42That's way further than you were doing before.
23:43And then go ahead and have a seat and let's take a look at your neck.
23:45So, you'll go chin down to your chest again.
23:48Good.
23:49Look up to the ceiling back as far as you can.
23:51And then over your right shoulder and your left.
23:54And how's that feel?
23:55I know your neck was bothering you.
23:57Better?
23:58Yeah.
