17
00:01:10.599 --> 00:01:15.840
w Park. So hello, this
is v and yes, I know
18
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:22.680
in our realm of world, I'm
always talking about influence, executive presence,
19
00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:30.439
online visibility, charisma, leadership and
how can you create influence and impact on
20
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:36.319
others. So yes, this is
very very important because without this you cannot
21
00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:40.400
do it. Now. On the
same token, if we were to look
22
00:01:40.439 --> 00:01:44.319
at the other side of the coin, it's important that we are in good
23
00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:49.480
physical health because if you're in chronic
pain, then forget about influencing and impacting
24
00:01:49.480 --> 00:01:53.640
anybody else. ALLI are going to
be focused is on how can I get
25
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.040
rid of this pain? Because I
do have a neck pain and a back
26
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:02.120
pain, so I know what it
feels like. And hence the reason via
27
00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:10.759
bringing you our wonderful guest who is
going to tell you what's going on right
28
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:16.840
now in the US and give you
exactly what to do. So welcome Diana,
29
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.120
Thank you for having me. I'm
very excited to be here and I'm
30
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:29.840
excited to tell everybody about this wonderful
therapy. I will start by giving you
31
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:35.879
a little background of me. I'm
a licensed massage therapist since nineteen ninety nine.
32
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:42.560
I'm a medical massage practitioner and I
took my first active isolated stretch class
33
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:49.319
in two thousand and three. My
body was broken, so I know all
34
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:57.000
about chronic pain because doing massage is
very, very hard work. So my
35
00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:02.159
neck was in pain. I was
getting migraines on a regular basis. Years
36
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:08.039
ago. I saw an article on
in Time magazine about migraines and how much
37
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:12.400
they hurt, and they explained it
to a t, but they did not
38
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.199
give any good solutions. Migraines are
horrible. I had lower back pain.
39
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:23.400
I had what's called sciatica. So
I was really broken. And I kept
40
00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:29.080
getting this flyer in the mail work
smarter, not harder, and how to
41
00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:35.000
help or cure so many ailments.
There was about twenty five of twenty five
42
00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.639
different ailments on that list, and
I said, bull dinkies, there's no
43
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:44.199
way. How can one therapy help
so many problems? You know, migraines,
44
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:51.360
hammer toose, sciatica versaida is just
to name a few. There was
45
00:03:51.439 --> 00:03:57.759
so many problems. But if you
think about it, most of the hot
46
00:03:57.840 --> 00:04:05.759
problems that people have in their body
is muscular pain and Unfortunately, doctors learn
47
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:10.520
so much about the body and what
to do, you know, in internally
48
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.080
and about all the medications that we
can take, but of course they know
49
00:04:15.159 --> 00:04:18.160
of muscles, but there they don't
know what to do for a muscle.
50
00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:24.680
In reality, massage therapists are are
kind of like muscle doctors. I mean,
51
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:29.920
I've been working with muscles hand on, hands on for twenty four years,
52
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.920
so I work with them. I
can feel it, I know the
53
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:39.079
not So what happens is when we're
young, our muscle fibers are nice and
54
00:04:39.160 --> 00:04:44.279
loose, and that's why babies and
toddlers can just fall and have no problems.
55
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:51.600
But then life happens and stress and
overuse and repetitive use and accidents and
56
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:58.120
all this other stuff, and it
makes our muscles really tight. Now that
57
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:02.120
it is a shotgunna open that muscle. No, is a pill going to
58
00:05:02.160 --> 00:05:06.560
open that muscle. No. You
know, there's all these stretching places popping
59
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:13.759
up, which I'm really happy for
because people are understanding the importance and the
60
00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:17.879
benefit of stretching, But unfortunately they
hold a stretch. So if you think
61
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:24.120
about it, if your muscle is
this tight and you hold that stretch,
62
00:05:25.680 --> 00:05:30.399
you're not really doing much. You're
just pulling those muscle fibers that much and
63
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:36.079
you're done. Now, what I've
learned is you hold that stretch for two
64
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:42.240
seconds and you do reps. Because
that muscle that's attached to the tendon,
65
00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:49.600
which attached to the bone, which
is what's causing herniations, bulging, psiotica,
66
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:57.199
stenosis. You know, stenosis is
your nerve being impinged. Why is
67
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.920
it being mpingched because that muscle is
pulling that bone out of place. Now,
68
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:06.759
chiropractice put your bones in place again. But did that open the muscle?
69
00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:13.800
No? No, So what I
was taught from one of the leading
70
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:18.560
experts, there's three leading experts in
this country. One of them Michael Young
71
00:06:18.639 --> 00:06:25.800
from Colorado. Aaron Mattis from Sarasota, Florida. He works with so many
72
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:29.959
sports figures. I went to see
him. He's wonderful. He was a
73
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:35.160
really wonderful teacher. And the Warton
Stretch book. These three experts have been
74
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:40.920
in this country for over sixty years. But and yet, unless you're fortunate
75
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:46.439
enough to stumble upon somebody who's learned
like I did. I have ninety five
76
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:53.079
hours of training in this therapy,
and the miracles that I've seen over the
77
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:59.439
years, just with myself. So
when I first learned this stretch, like
78
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:03.319
I said, I'm getting migraines.
So when I saw the teachers do it,
79
00:07:03.439 --> 00:07:06.920
just blew my mind of what they
did to these people, and the
80
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:14.839
people felt fabulous. Our bodies are
capable of a lot more stretching power.
81
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:18.680
Then we give it. Like I
said, if you just hold that stretch,
82
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:24.319
you're just going to pull on that
muscle and be done. But when
83
00:07:24.399 --> 00:07:28.720
I learned the next stretch and I
started doing two second stretches, I mean,
84
00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.199
you could just try this if you
put your hands behind your head.
85
00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.439
Now we all do this right to
stretch our neck, but do it two
86
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:38.279
second style. So you pull it
down, breathe out, hold it that
87
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:48.279
two to three seconds, release,
go back, breathe, release. You
88
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:54.879
do at least five to seven reps. Shake it out. Make nice when
89
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:59.120
you stretch a muscle, you should
make nice to it because it's afterwards it's
90
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.120
like wait, wait, wait,
what did you do? You make knives?
91
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:05.360
And then you go back into that
stretch. And when you go do
92
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:11.120
reps of like say five to seven, and you go back, that's where
93
00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.920
the magic happens because then that muscle
is already warmed up and it knows what
94
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:22.680
you're doing, and the range of
motion that you get increases. The lactic
95
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:28.519
acid and all the toxins that are
built up in your muscles release and the
96
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:35.519
muscle stops pulling. Because once you
give it back the length that you're supposed
97
00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:41.720
to have, then you really have
strength in a muscle. Because you know,
98
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:45.559
we're so used to work it out, work it out. Yes,
99
00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:48.799
there is you know, strength is
great in a muscle, but there is
100
00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:56.039
a thing as too much. And
so when we work it out a little
101
00:08:56.080 --> 00:09:01.360
bit, you know just enough and
then you stress out. That is a
102
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:07.240
very healthy, happy muscle. And
then so are your bones. I mean
103
00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.600
when I do my stretches, I
get adjustments in my thoracic spine, in
104
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.240
my lumbar spine, in my neck, and it's all natural. You know,
105
00:09:16.399 --> 00:09:20.120
my bones adjust themselves, they go
back into the place that they need
106
00:09:20.159 --> 00:09:28.440
to be, and it really just
lets you live a happier, healthier life
107
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:35.399
knowing how to take care of her
muscles. I wrote a book you Can
108
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:41.120
if you say you can, and
it shows all of the stretches to help
109
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.639
your body feel better. It features
my eighty six year young mom who does
110
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:54.600
these stretches on a regular basis and
she can go dancing. She still walks.
111
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.840
She needs a knee replacement because she's
done the poka for so many years,
112
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.360
and that's really hard when you bound, you know, like runners,
113
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:09.320
when you pound on the pavement,
you really you you you hit the joint.
114
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:18.440
But I also have my stretching DVD, which is fifty two minutes of
115
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.279
full body stretching. So what I
love about these stretches is once you learn
116
00:10:22.360 --> 00:10:26.840
how to do them, and you
you're out somewhere or you have a friend
117
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.720
and they say, you know,
this really has been bothering me, then
118
00:10:31.799 --> 00:10:37.799
you can show them how to stretch
their bodies and make themselves feel better.
119
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.840
I love when my clients come back
in and they're like, thank you so
120
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.480
much. And I said, why
are you thinking me? They said,
121
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.600
because you showed me what to do. And I showed my friend and now
122
00:10:48.679 --> 00:10:52.960
she feels better. So I love
when people pay it forward. You know,
123
00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:58.000
when you see somebody in pain and
then they come back and they say,
124
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:00.639
you know, I'm doing these stretches
and oh my god, you were
125
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:05.399
so right. During the pandemic,
people, my clients came back and they
126
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:09.519
said, I'm so grateful to have
known how to take care of my body.
127
00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:13.639
When anything starts hurting, I know
how to stretch it properly and how
128
00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:18.919
to take get rid of that pain. It was. It was really interesting
129
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:24.600
because I was doing a stretch class
and I had this lady Maxine, and
130
00:11:24.639 --> 00:11:28.559
she had shoulder surgery and physical she
was going to physical therapy and they only
131
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:33.679
did so much. But when she
started doing the stretch, her face was
132
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:39.120
all crunched up and she really didn't
have any range of motion. And then
133
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.879
after a while, because let's face
it, it took a while for your
134
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.159
muscle to get that tight, you
are going to have to work on it.
135
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:50.399
It's it's like a livet I don't
call them diets because we're going to
136
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:54.039
live it longer. So when you
go on a live it, you know,
137
00:11:54.080 --> 00:11:58.080
you know you're not going to see
results right away. But the good
138
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:03.759
thing about these stretches is you feel
oh good right away, but lasting results
139
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.320
take a little while. So Maxine
came to my stretch class and she was
140
00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:11.240
doing it, and all of a
sudden, one day she was had her
141
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:16.039
arm all the way up here and
she was telling me about her daughter going
142
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:18.639
to come visit with the grandkids,
and her arm was just flying up in
143
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.639
the air, and I said,
Maxine, look at your arm. And
144
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.480
she looked at it and she was
amazed. She was like, oh my
145
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:33.600
god, Diane, I have no
pain in my shoulder. That's true healing,
146
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:39.200
and that is you helping yourself.
It's simple. It takes ten minutes
147
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:43.759
a day. I give myself fifteen
to twenty minutes because I use my body
148
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.960
a lot and I'm a little rough
on it doing massages or like I said,
149
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:50.159
is rough work. So I give
myself twenty minutes a night. I
150
00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:56.080
recommend you do it at night because
that's when you heal. When you sleep,
151
00:12:56.120 --> 00:13:00.200
is when your body heals naturally.
So you do them just before where
152
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.240
you go to bed, and then
this way, when you get into that
153
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:09.159
bed, you take that deep breath, fill up your belly. Don't do
154
00:13:09.159 --> 00:13:11.960
don't do shallow breathing, because if
you just if you breathe in and your
155
00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:16.480
belly goes in, you're only breathing
like in your lungs. But you want
156
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:22.039
to fill up your body, so
you take that deep breath in, hold
157
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:26.440
it, think it, think it, breathe in all the good thoughts and
158
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:33.039
all the healing thoughts, and then
you release many of the negativity from the
159
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:37.600
day. Excuse me any negativity of
the day, and you just drop your
160
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:41.919
belly, let your belly come in, drop your head, your neck,
161
00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.360
your shoulders, and then after you've
stretched and you've done this, you can
162
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:52.600
go to sleep so relaxed and get
a good night sleep. You know,
163
00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.039
a lot of people think that they
have to stretch in the morning, But
164
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.559
if you stretch in the morning,
it's kind of a counterproductive because you wake
165
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:05.799
up stiff. You stretch, you
do the day, you get into bed,
166
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.120
you're stiff. When you stretch at
night is when the real healing happens.
167
00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:16.480
You know, with chronic pain being
the number one ailment in the US
168
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:22.879
right now, this is a problem, and this is a real solution to
169
00:14:22.000 --> 00:14:26.240
this problem. So and like I
said, it's really simple. Once you
170
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:33.039
learn these stretches, you just do
them on a regular basis and you really
171
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:37.480
feel better. So I'm hoping that
everybody can get on the bandwagon and start
172
00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:43.759
helping themselves feel better naturally, because
there is a tried and true solution,
173
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:52.639
and it is a real solution.
Diane, that was so helpful. I've
174
00:14:52.639 --> 00:14:56.120
been looking at it. So now
you've given like you know what the thought
175
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.679
goes into it and just not just
doing the stretch, but like you know,
176
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:05.200
giving it more attention. So important. So now let's say so many
177
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:09.759
of us are sitting at our chairs
for eight hours, ten hours even maybe
178
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:15.080
more. Some people are standing now
because the new warning is that the sitting
179
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.360
is worse than smoking. So while
we're sitting, you know, can you
180
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:22.039
show us some stretches for a back
and next so that we can have good
181
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:28.840
posture and prevent any pains and aches
that may come along. Oh absolutely,
182
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:35.360
yeah, yeah. I suggest you
know, people who smoke go out for
183
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:41.360
a break, So I suggest that
you take your break, your smoking break
184
00:15:41.679 --> 00:15:46.519
as a stretching break instead, so
you know, put a timer on your
185
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.360
I love telling people to put a
timer on, you know, forty five
186
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:54.200
minutes an hour. Just take time
for yourself, and there's things that you
187
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:58.440
can do at your desk. You're
like everybody's hunched over at their computers and
188
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:04.559
everything else. So that really makes
your It's called your plateisma in your neck
189
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:10.120
and your peg muscles. That's how
you get to hump in your neck because
190
00:16:10.200 --> 00:16:12.320
it gets too tight and it pulls, So what you want to do is
191
00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:18.120
bring it back. Now, I
suggested that we stretch at night, So
192
00:16:18.399 --> 00:16:22.000
I'm going to show you how to
do this at your chair, but then
193
00:16:22.080 --> 00:16:25.360
at night do it on your bed. To me, I call this the
194
00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:30.879
off the bed stretch. It's amazing. That takes three minutes. You know,
195
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.279
when clients come in here and if
they haven't done it, I'm like,
196
00:16:33.279 --> 00:16:37.080
there's no excuse. It's three minutes. You stretch off your bed before
197
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:40.480
you get in it. But the
premise of it is you get to the
198
00:16:40.600 --> 00:16:44.320
edge of your bed and where just
the top of your head goes off.
199
00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.399
So if you have one of those
high chairs, just put your head,
200
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.159
tilt it up, and then what
you want to do is put your arms
201
00:16:51.200 --> 00:16:55.879
up over your head. Just doing
that, you're going to feel the stretch
202
00:16:55.919 --> 00:17:00.360
in your pegs, your biceps,
your triceeps, in the front of your
203
00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:06.680
neck. Right yeah, breathe out. Now we want to get those rhomboids,
204
00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:08.880
which is between your shoulder blades,
which, oh my gosh, they
205
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:15.759
really hurt. So clasp your fingers
together, turn them out, and now
206
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.680
come up over your head and look
at the ceiling again. Oh wow,
207
00:17:22.359 --> 00:17:26.839
isn't that wonderful? Oh yeah,
I get it, like what you're talking
208
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:33.359
about those rooids between those shoulders.
Yes, that really helped. And how
209
00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.720
long do we hold the stretch?
You just breathe it out and then come
210
00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:38.839
back out. See it's just holding
it for three seconds, that's all.
211
00:17:38.880 --> 00:17:44.640
Wow. Oh don't you feel a
difference already? And that neck. So
212
00:17:44.799 --> 00:17:48.559
now, like I said before,
if you put your hands behind your head
213
00:17:48.039 --> 00:17:52.519
and just pull it down, now, only hold it one breath out and
214
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:59.400
then come back up. So go
down, breathe out, sure, back
215
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:11.359
up again and then back up.
We'll do one more back down and then
216
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:17.680
back up. Oh, roll your
shoulders, make nice, always make nice
217
00:18:17.720 --> 00:18:22.640
on muscles they like that absolutely yeah. And dying like you know in the
218
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:27.319
back like you know how they are
like various scpulized, and that area right
219
00:18:27.359 --> 00:18:30.519
to the left of it, like
those areas also kind of get tight because
220
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:36.440
they're holding those muscles. Any stretches, that's the rhomboid. And yeah,
221
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.279
it really is a pain. There's
two great ones that I do for the
222
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:45.480
rhomboid. One is if you just
take your arm around like you're gonna touch
223
00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:51.079
your shoulder and then you go up
with your chin. Now, yeah,
224
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:55.039
it's very good. Your chin goes
on your shoulder, breathe, and then
225
00:18:55.160 --> 00:19:02.359
lower on your neck and then lower
across your chest. And where you feel
226
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:07.480
that is where you would do more
of those. Oh that's what I feel
227
00:19:07.519 --> 00:19:11.680
it. So you're going to do
like five to seven, shake it out,
228
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:15.599
and then come back and do another
five to seven. Like I said,
229
00:19:17.119 --> 00:19:18.960
when you come back for that second
set, you do a set of
230
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.880
five. Then you come back for
that second set of five to seven,
231
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.480
and that's where the magic happens.
Now, when we do cardio for five
232
00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:30.279
or ten minutes, it's okay.
When you do cardio for fifteen or twenty
233
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:34.599
minutes, that's where you get the
healing. So that's what I suggest here.
234
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:40.799
You do at least twenty reps in
one sitting. Okay, some people
235
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.599
think they do five and then they'll
do five, you know, twenty two
236
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.359
out the day. No, no, because all you what you do with
237
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.079
that is you play with you know, you're messing with that muscle and then
238
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.160
you're walking away. Now, like
I said, when you come back for
239
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:59.079
that second set. Now you're talking. Now. The also what I call
240
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:03.279
the football player stretch, which is
a wonderful stretch. Would you like to
241
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.279
do that one? Yes? All
right, that one's a lot. We
242
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.359
could do it seated. So in
your chair. I'm going to try to
243
00:20:11.400 --> 00:20:17.680
get you to see me. So
what you do is, in your chair,
244
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:23.200
you open your legs. Okay,
you put your hands in on your
245
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:27.400
your your legs like a like a
football player like huh yeah, yeah yeah.
246
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:30.839
And then what I'm going to do
is you tuck your head all the
247
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:38.680
way down and you bring your shoulders
forward, so then you breathe out and
248
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:45.319
then back up. You feel that
when you bring your shoulders. Yes,
249
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:48.440
Now, if you have a chair
that has you know, like a bar
250
00:20:48.559 --> 00:20:52.440
on it, you can grab the
bar and then pull your shoulders forward.
251
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:57.799
And what that does is it does
your whole There's a musccle der erectors binet
252
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:02.920
that attaches out your and goes all
the way down to your lumbar spine.
253
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:06.039
So you're stretching that one too.
It's a really great one. You want
254
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:07.880
to try to So again, can
you like show me like some of the
255
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.319
arms gone the sure, all right, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna
256
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:17.119
do it standing so that you see
see how it looks. So it's doing
257
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:21.319
it standing, you know you get
hot hot hands standing. Yeah. Yeah,
258
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:25.119
what you do is you see how
my elbows come forward. I see
259
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:30.400
that. I mean even if you
could stand at your desk and do that
260
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:37.200
one, that one feels amazing and
again you hold this for two seconds and
261
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:41.000
then you come out of it.
Right, doesn't it feel nice? It
262
00:21:41.039 --> 00:21:45.279
does feel nice? And like twenty
you said, right, traps off total
263
00:21:45.279 --> 00:21:48.279
of five and like do it like
you do five five if you're yeah,
264
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:52.200
or if you're comfortable, you could
do seven or two sets of ten.
265
00:21:52.599 --> 00:21:56.680
However you work it out as long
as you do twenty. It's up to
266
00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:02.000
you. I always say, listen
to your body. If it's unhappy,
267
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.279
stop doing it, make nice,
and then come back and do more.
268
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:08.359
And then you're going to find that, oh okay, that does feel better.
269
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:14.359
You know you'll feel them as getting
warm. Yes, and then don't
270
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:19.079
forget to drink your water. Yes, once you water right there, ah,
271
00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:23.240
it's so good for us. And
and you know, remember what kind
272
00:22:23.279 --> 00:22:27.000
of water you're drinking a lot of
people do those water bottles, you know,
273
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:30.200
I mean, there, that's not
good for our environment. But I
274
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:33.359
personally have a burkiy filter. You
know, you should check your water,
275
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:38.279
make sure that it's pure and everything
else. So but water is so important
276
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:44.920
for us, you know, muscles. You've got to release those toxins that
277
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:48.319
you're releasing from your muscles. So, oh, this is so powerful and
278
00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:52.279
what like you know, several of
my clients are always complaining about like shoulder
279
00:22:52.319 --> 00:22:59.799
eggs, especially people are playing sports
right exactly a lot of times you know,
280
00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:04.720
uh, we'll think it's the rotator
cuff, but rotator cuff is deep
281
00:23:06.720 --> 00:23:10.640
when you pointing your deltoid, which
is what you did, because right here
282
00:23:10.680 --> 00:23:14.839
at your ac joint is where your
deltoid attaches. So what you want to
283
00:23:14.880 --> 00:23:18.480
do with that is I think you
know vaudeville, you put your arm out
284
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:23.039
straight, lock that elbow, bring
it across your chest and then paul.
285
00:23:25.599 --> 00:23:27.240
Now you see how you bend your
arm. I don't know why. I
286
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:33.599
guess it's the the body's defense of
going. But you got to keep it
287
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:40.240
low, yes, and then come
up by the elbow and paul ah and
288
00:23:40.279 --> 00:23:48.319
then release and then release. Doing
this one saves the deltoid. The deltoid
289
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:52.240
I find is the most forgiving muscle. You know, the upper traps they
290
00:23:52.279 --> 00:23:56.720
worked so hard and everything else and
that paraformists, which is a pain in
291
00:23:56.759 --> 00:24:02.359
the butt. The par offormance is
really oh that that gives us so much
292
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:07.039
lower back pain. You want to
stretch the par offormis. Sure, yes,
293
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.039
let's do the peraformists. Okay,
Now this one highly recommend. You're
294
00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.319
sitting at your desk your lower back
is killing you. Instead of being in
295
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:19.480
pain, you know, get yourself
a lumbar pillow. I have just messed
296
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.039
things, you know, something to
support your lumbar bat your lumbar spine.
297
00:24:23.160 --> 00:24:26.000
And then also, like you know, I also have like I'm just kind
298
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:30.119
of showing I also have for like
sitting, and then I've got my lumber
299
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:37.079
pillow as well. Yep, same
one. Yes, good job, very
300
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:41.400
happy. Okay, so what you
do with this one is you you want
301
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.640
to bring your leg again. I'm
going to try to show you you want
302
00:24:44.640 --> 00:24:48.240
to bring your leg up onto your
other leg. Walk that foot that's in
303
00:24:48.279 --> 00:24:53.160
front of you out so you can
see it, and then you pull up
304
00:24:53.200 --> 00:24:59.880
on your foot. You push down
on your leg and bring your whole tours
305
00:25:00.359 --> 00:25:03.680
forward not just not not your head. It has nothing to do with your
306
00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:10.279
head. You bring your torso forward, breathe out, sh and release.
307
00:25:11.160 --> 00:25:15.279
You feel that, Yeah, that's
that's a good one. So again,
308
00:25:15.359 --> 00:25:18.640
pull up on your foot, push
down on your leg and pull torso forward.
309
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:22.480
You try to look at the foot
that's in front of you. Sh
310
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:30.759
and then come that's good right breathe. Oh yeah, you feel that right
311
00:25:30.799 --> 00:25:37.559
in your hip and right in your
groin area. I mean that really loosens
312
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:41.559
that hip like no other. And
it's amazing. It's amazing. A lot
313
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.480
of people when they first start this, when they put their leg up,
314
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:49.920
it's so it's that that's how tight
it is. I mean your leg should
315
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:56.039
be all the way down here,
and then you pull up, push down
316
00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:00.920
and lean forward. It's it's amazing
and again amazing. Yes, do that
317
00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:06.119
at your seat and then like I
said, I mean it's not going to
318
00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:10.440
be long lasting until you've done them
for a while, but you get instant
319
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:14.079
relief. I mean just a little
bit. We did you feel a little
320
00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:17.759
bit right? Oh, this is
amazing. Thank you so much, Diane.
321
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:21.359
So folks, you know we covered
a lot of body areas and now
322
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:27.000
if you really want to bring that
healing and nice relaxed muscles, Dan,
323
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:32.240

your book and where can we find it?
324
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:37.079
And your CD and yes, my
my, it's a it's more like
325
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.359
a reference book. I mean,
it shares some really good tips on how
326
00:26:41.400 --> 00:26:47.000
to stay healthy naturally, but it
features my eighty five year young mom.
327
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:52.200
You can if you say you can. It's that simple, and you can
328
00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:57.240

the knots out g E T T h

330
00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:07.920
can see some more about what I
do and what I've done, and it's
331
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:14.119
it's pretty cool. I'm really excited
about this. Oh I'm so excited because
332
00:27:14.720 --> 00:27:17.359
I'm already feeling so lose. I've
just done it, like, you know,
333
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:21.440
three or four stretches, So definitely
going to put it into action those
334
00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:26.000
twenty stretches. Yes, and the
only bed the off the bed is only
335
00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.079
three minutes a night. You stretch
off it before you get in it.
336
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:33.160
You know, our brain here is
what our mouth says. So used to
337
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:36.200
tell yourself, I'm going to stretch
off it before I get in it.
338
00:27:37.200 --> 00:27:41.200
Yes, fantastic, and so folks, you know, when you're feeling healthy,
339
00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:48.559
that's when you can have that influence
and impact. So thank you Diane
