Thanks @JaxAndree!

It definitely feels pretty intense at first but so worth it for how it relieves a bunch of symptoms 😁

Awesome, glad it can help 😁

Thanks @dominuqe7862 :) I'm super happy it's helpful for you!

Thanks so much and glad to hear you got something out of it :) we actually have a follow up video with further tips and details coming out tomorrow!

@@bodyworksdwnyc I will be on the lookout. Thank you!

😂

Indeed 😁

Thanks so much! 😁

Might be a bit hard to do to yourself as the angles are all different but not at all impossible. Try crossing your ankle onto your other knee in a figure 4 and that should make it easier to get at the right muscles on yourself :)

@@bodyworksdwnyc Thanksss

Thank you! Cheers!

Great question! Honestly this is work that I do for most client complaints, although it might show up sooner or later in a series depending on how intense the current issue is and how much I need to balance providing immediate relief vs long term support. I like to cue "360" breathing, ie the entire ribcage should expand and contract (yep, without extra lifting in the shoulders and neck) with a slight belly rise at the end of the inhale (most lift belly first instead of ribs/sternum). I think for most clients, the diaphragm gets mis-recruited for postural support which doesn't allow it to relax on the exhale....requiring using the ancillary breathing muscles more (scalenes, serratus, abs, pecs, etc). For the complaints that really need this work: any back pain for sure, as well as shoulder pain, neck pain. Basically anything attached to the ribs :) I like to say "there is no real 'right' way to breathe....but plenty of 'wrong ways'.....usually any that involve too much control over what should be run by your brainstem so that you cerebrum can do stuff like art and science!"

You got it 😀

That is something that I’d want to take a look at before attempting these releases as they may pull on the hernia

​@@bodyworksdwnyc if a client has a hiatal hernia would you not do this release?

@angelinastillions4708 great question! Actually, I have a hiatal hernia myself (just found out last year during a CAT scan for my heart). This should be fine as long as you go easy and it’s not causing sharp pain (which really is true for anyone).

@@bodyworksdwnyc I had groin hernia

@claytonh6781 these techniques would be fine for a client with a groin hernia

It can be slightly “intense” but should be what we like to call comfortably uncomfortable to get a good therapeutic result. But should never cause sharp pain!

Haha 😂 right?!

Hi, it might help some, especially if part of the issue is a restriction in the rotator cuff (often happens during fall which gets overlooked while treating the stroke). That being said, if the weakness is mostly due to neurological issues it will only help some and passive and active movements + OT/PT is going to be far more helpful. Hope that helps!

This link is a collection of the various studies done so far (9) for a total of close to 300 cadavers studied. So, not a huge sample size but so far there is support for a 5th quad!

Hi, great question! I didn’t have him crossing his foot over to the other side, just placed on the bolster in line with his hip. Since the goal of having him bend the knee is to give slack to psoas and iliacus by shortening them, you would be giving less of that by crossing over. It certainly wouldn’t be “wrong” to try that and may give differing results such as stretching the hip external rotators more….which could be cool with many clients. I’d say try it out and see how it goes!

We do! Currently we have mostly live courses at our classroom in midtown NYC. We also have some live webinar courses you can take from home and are in the process of creating some at home courses as well. You can check out all of our courses on our website at bodyworksdw.com and looking at the CEU menu.

Awesome!

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching

Can you elaborate? Not sure what you are asking why about….

More coming 😃

Thanks Tiago!

If you mean the anatomy charts we got them on Amazon. If you mean the geometric pattern, those are acoustical tiles we put up ourselves :) thanks for enjoying the video!

These techniques should definitely only be used and applied by a fully trained and licensed massage therapist! That being said it would be extremely difficult for a non-trained person to cause the kind of damage you are describing unless they used extreme pressure such that you'd want to immediately ask them to stop and/or sudden forceful movements. Even those are unlikely to do lasting damage unless there is an underlying structural defect such as a malformed vertebrae or floating bone chip due to a prior whiplash incident.

Thanks Wendy! Def more coming soon….editing as we speak :)

Thanks Jean!

Definitely 👍 of course the best is coming to our live course so you can actually feel how they work but if you aren’t able to come to NYC I’ll be posting more tips soon

In based in London :( @@bodyworksdwnyc

Thanks Tiago! Will be coming soon :)

Thanks so much Yvonne! The live workshop is going to be ace :)

Can't wait!:)

Me too :)

Thanks!

Absolutely!

Thanks Michael! We'll be posting both long and short formats going forward :) Subscribe and you'll be notified for all new videos!

Yeah, every client we show this to looks at it like it's dumb and easy....then they try to do it correctly and are like, whoa, that is not at all easy :)

Most of us do!

When the subtalar joint stops sliding the big toe takes on too much to compensate…and we eventually learn to avoid both!

No, but it’s one of the biggest and hardest to envision. Pectoralis minor also directly rolls the shoulder forward. In addition pec major can too, but indirectly by pulling the humerus (upper arm bone) forward and into internal rotation. Hope that helps!

Wonderful! Glad to hear that you think it’s helping you out! If you can keep it up daily for several weeks you will really notice an improvement!

Totally. Massage therapists really need this one!

I think most people these days would raise their hands on this one!

Yeah, super duper is okay, just not super duper duper, haha!

Yeah, super duper duper wide would be extreme 😂😂😂

And we def don't want to go to extremes 😀🤓

Most of us are tighter on one side than the other. Especially if you drive since that involves holding the right leg above the gas pedal/brake for long periods of time!

If you twist slightly to the front or back you’ll move the target of the stretch from adductor longus to adductor brevis.

We give this set to nearly all of our new clients as tightness here is sooooo common!
