How many of you sit/stand with your legs sprawled out in external rotation... whether your a man and that’s your natural state or your a ballerina and trained to stay in external rotation at all times. It’s likely that your posterior hip capsule is just a little bit compacted, jammed and or compressed! Learn how to open the posterior hip capsule with some global postural stretching and ELDOA!... You may actually save your hip capsule from an unwanted hip replacement! Join me ON-DEMAND at www.gumroad.com/myeldoa Join me for LIVE classes M/W 1:45pm and T 6:00pm PST! #hipreplacement #kneereplacement #hipreplacementrecovery #jointreplacement #orthopedics #arthritis #hipreplacementsurgery #orthopedicsurgery #physicaltherapy #hipsurgery #totalhipreplacement #sportsmedicine #kneepain #ortho #hippain #orthopedicsurgeon #surgery #hipreplacementnotjustforoldpeople #orthopaedics #surgeon #eldoalosangeles #health #orthopaedic #orthopedic #spinetherapy #pain #hospital #globalposturalstretching #osteoporosis #eldoa

In craniothoracic diaphragm soma therapy training we were reminded that there are 2 very important muscles that the connect the anterior fascial chain with the posterior fascial chain. They are: 1 PSOAS Muscles 2 OMOHYOID Muscles... Why and how: the PSOAS muscles run posterior to anterior, from back to front and the omohyoid muscle runs anterior to posterior, front to back! The PSOAS runs from T12 all the way down the lumbar spine crossing multiple joints of the spine and pelvis and inserts on the inner upper femur bone. The OMOHYOID bone runs from the hyoid bone in the throat to the scapula/shoulder blade spanning the cervical spine & over rib 1. This one runs from front to back. Part of anterior fascial chain is the abdomen, the area between the OMOHYOID bone and the PSOAS muscles. If the abdominal chain is tight or restricted this could affect the function of the low back and the neck. When have you ever opened up your abdominal wall? Well, we did!

The GLUTS! The Gluteus Maximus muscle is more complex than just being the muscles that give our BUTTOCKS SHAPE! And, If it weren’t for the ligament of lushka our Gluteus Maximus would be an extension of our legs!... So, we’ve got the superficial Gluteus Maximus and the deep Gluteus Maximus. Both strength and myofascial stretching are important for maintaining a healthy EVERYTHING! Our gluts play a role in every aspect of our active and sedentary lives! When we ask Google the function of the gluteus Maximus, Google says The gluteus maximus works with the semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles to extend the hip. The muscle also works in conjunction with the iliopsoas, piriformis, and the obturator muscles to externally rotate the hip. And this is completely correct. Taking a bit further, can you see the the domino affect it will have on your knees, ankles and feet as well as the shoulder, neck, jaw and cranium? Join me to learn how to activate and release the fascial chains from head to toe as we release the Deep Glut Maximus! Zoom M/W 1:45pm PST, T: 6:00pm PST or ON-DEMAND!

Normalization of the Sterno-Cleido-Occipito-Mastoid in the Cervicothoracic in Diaphragm Soma Therapy. That mouthful is also know as the SCOM or in the western world as the SCM. The O has been added because the SCM attaches to the sternum, clavicle, occiput and mastoid bone.... We can all agree the SCOM can a bit of an ass like the PSOAS muscles when it’s pissed off or in spam. It’s imperative to normalize the fascia to release the muscle and then have a myofascial stretch to keep it calm and appropriately behaved! #scom #scm #tmjdisorder #tmj #tmjtreatment #tmjrelief #neckpain #neckpainrelief #textneck #whiplash #thyroid #hypothyroidism #pericardium #heart #eldoa #eldoamethod #somatherapy #myofascialstretching

In order to truly see the space elongate in the ELDOA you need an ultrasound probe that will penetrate deep enough and have an amazing ultrasound tech who knows what they are seeing and how to measure! So, we used a vaginal probe, multiple takes and froze the screen when we found maximum tension! It’s super subtle but it’s there. Look where the arrow says look here it’s really fast but you can see L4 move away from L5 for a very short second!... We want to confirm the space just behind the spinal column and just in front of the spinous process where the facet joints live! Bone shows up back and soft tissue show up gray and whitish depending on the density of the tissue. We will keep practicing this as this was our first time playing around! We ELDOA to create space between our facet joints and between the body of the vertebrae to elevate pressure off our nerves, intervertebral disc and blood vessels. A big thank you to my employer for allowing us to use the ultrasound machine for the pursuit of health, wellness and osteopathy! I will continue to share the gifts of ELDOA and #guyvoyer with my patients, clients, friends and family! Cause I have no shame getting on the dirty ultrasound room floor to share the benefits of ELDOA! #transvaginalultrasound #eldoa #eldoaforscoliosis #eldoaeveryday #scoliosis #scoliosisexercise #scoliosiseducation #ultrasound #ultrasoundtech #bestemployerever #osteopathyworks #physicianassistant #fertility #infertility

MODERNA COVID 19 vaccine #1 To vaccinate or not to vaccinate... this seems to be the question! The answer is EXTREMELY PERSONAL and NO ONES BUSINESS but your own!... Make sure you are VERY honest and clear with your intentions. EDUCATE yourself, LEARN all the facts and then decide! My decision: 1 because I wanted to! 2 because I am exposed to patients with Covid. 3 because I am tired of many people not interested in wearing a mask or wearing it properly. 4 because I want to keep my friends, family, clients and patients safe from me, especially for those who cannot get vaccinated because of their compromised health! 5 BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING ANY HARM TO ANYONE! 7 I want to travel, and hug my friends and family and clients and patients! POST VACCINATION SYMPTOMS: my arm is really sore, like really sore, but nothing that Tylenol can’t handle! I am tired, but I have been tired for the last 3 years! So vaccinated related unsure! But, my body is having an appropriate immune response so I should be tired! MODERNA VACCINATION FACTS: I am 70% protected from Covid after 7 days. I need a booster shot 4 weeks from my first shot. I will still be a vector of Covid if exposed... meaning I will not get Covid, but I can still spread it for 24 hours while my immune system kills the virus. - THIS IS IMPORTANT! I still have to wear a mask and social distance until the number of cases goes down by A LOT! PLEASE WEAR YOUR MASK PROPERLY, PLEASE SOCIAL DISTANCE! PLEASE GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR OWN ASS AND BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS! #covid_19 #covidvacccine #covid19sideeffects #vaccinesafetyadvocate #vaccinesideeffects #healthyliving #pandemiclife #pandemic @ Santa Monica, California

New Class Added to SPINE THERAPY ON-DEMAND! This one is for the breath! What you will learn:... How to activate your thoracic diaphragm by using your breath. The relationship between your pelvic floor and your diaphragm. How mobility of your rib affects your ability to breathe! THE BREATH Breathing is innate. It is controlled by our brainstem. It is an action we just do. It gives us life. It is not only vital to our survival but breathing relaxes the nervous system and has been scientifically proven to affect the heart, the brain, digestion, and the immune system. It is one of our bodily functions we could not live without. Yet we rarely, if ever, take the time to observe our breath in all its virtue. Maybe that's our problem, we don't even acknowledge its quality and rhythm! Take a moment to evaluate your breath. Do you hold the breath in or out? Do you breathe shallowly? Are you pushing your belly out while breathing? Are you only expanding the chest while you breathe? Are you expanding both the chest and belly when you breathe? Remember, the shallower we breathe the less mobile the diaphragm is the more it loses strength and tone. #breathing #eldoa #spinetherapy #eldoalosangeles #meditation #breathe #breath #mindfulness #health #love #breathwork #breathingexercises #pranayama #wellness #nature #selfcare #healing #covid #breathingtechniques #fitness #mentalhealth #relax #life #healthylifestyle #peace #movement #energy #calm #balance #relaxation

We are all expecting 2021 to be better, like 1 new day that happens to be named January 1, 2021, will make a miraculous change! What does that actually look like for us... REALITY CHECK, Covid is not going anywhere anytime soon, especially in LA! So lets make 2021 better because we have learned from our bad behaviors, bad luck, loss of life and every rational and irrational trigger that has exaggerated all of our fears to be #morekind #morerespectful #moregenerous #morecompassionate #moreempathic #moreselfaware #lessnarcissistic #lessselfrighteous #lessselfabsorbed and maybe just maybe appreciate and step out side of your own $#it to give love to those going through emotions, no matter how much you disagree, the space to just be. #pleaseandthankyou

ELDOA FOR THE LUMBAR SPINE In this class we: warm-up activate and myofascially stretch the PSOAS muscle.... Myofascially stretch the Quadratus Lumborum. Perform global postural stretches for the fascial layers along the lumbar spine between the 12th ribs and top the hip bones. globally postural stretch the SI joint. ELDOA the vertebrae of the lumbar spine The lumbar spine is an area of weakness if we are not actively strengthening it! GENTLE REALITY CHECK: Postural changes have varying effects on our lumbar disc pressure at various positions. Lying down: 25 kg (55lbs). Lying on your side: 75 kg (165lbs). Standing: 100 kg (220lbs). Forward gravity line (leaning forward on the ball of you foot): 150 kg (330lbs). Holding a weight and leaning forward in the standing position: 220 kg (485lbs). A non-load bearing position of sitting upright: 140kg (308lbs). Leaning forward from this position: 185 kg (407lbs). Finally, the highest amount of pressure that is placed on the disc of the lumbar spine occurs when you are in the seated position and leaning forward, while bearing weight: 275 kg (606lbs). Now, factor in degenerative disc disease, scoliosis, stenosis, disc bulge or protrusion/herniation etc... any amounts of increased pressure could be disastrous in a poor gravity line. Why ELDOA? 1 Increases intervertebral disc space allowing the nerves to leave more freely. 2 Strengthens the body in extreme range. 3 Improves proprioception and awareness of our joints improving posture/gravity line. 4 Hydrates our joint spaces. 5 ELDOA strengthens our muscle to defy the effects of gravity! #backpainsucks #injury #rehabilitation #painfree #recovery #arthritis #spinehealth #headaches #hippain #injuryprevention #sportsinjury #herniateddisc #neckpainrelief #healing #chiropracticadjustment #selfcare #covid #backpainexercises #adjustment #stretching #scoliosis #therapy #getadjusted #posturecorrection #physiotherapist #chiro #acupuncture #sportsmedicine #eldoa #movementismedicine

That is correct, your PELVIC FLOOR will thank you for doing #squats Squats will strengthen: GLUT MAX: the butt muscle that gives your bum its shape. Supports your posture & allows you to RISE UP!... GLUT MED: The #1 stabilizing muscles of the hips. HAMSTRINGS: Strong hamstrings stop you from anterior tilting the pelvis. QUADRICEPS: Will help you move forward (& backwards). When balanced with the hamstrings, they support a healthy gravity line! ADDUCTORS: When balanced with the GLUT MED muscles, they too support your hip socket. SUB-ABDOMINAL: Strong subabdominals will prevent anterior tilting of the pelvis. PELVIC FLOOR: They teach you to release the pelvic floor as you lower and contract the pelvic floor when you rise! READ THIS NEXT STATEMENT... if you do not have good form in your squat your pelvic floor will NOT thank you and your knees will be very angry with you! YOU WANT YOUR PELVIC FLOOR TO THANK YOU BECAUSE: As a general consensus in my GYNECOLOGY practice for the last 20 years, NOT ONE of my patients enjoys leaking urine with laughing, coughing or sneezing, painful Sex, prolapse uterus, bladder or rectum nor do any of the want to purchase depends! #ladies I am talking to you... squaty squat, squat squat! Don’t know how to Squat, No problem! I can teach you every M/W 1:45pm PST and T/TH 6pm PST on ZOOM!

#Repost @mtn2seapt with @get_repost Health is our greatest wealth. How will you invest in yours today?? #investinyourhealth

Did you know that poor posture causes an imbalance in the strength, tension and flexibility of the stabilizing shoulder muscles (lats, pec major biceps, triceps, rhomboids, and serratus muscles) and forces the rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, & Teres minor) to stabilize the shoulder when their job is to rotate the shoulder? This will lead to the rotator cuff tendons pressing on the coracoacromial arch of your shoulder blade, which causes pain... when you move or lie on the side of the affected shoulder. How to fix it... EASY, make sure you strengthen all the listed above stabilizing muscles equally! #shoulderpain #backpain #neckpain #kneepain #painrelief #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #fitness #lowbackpain #chiropractor #backpainrelief #rehab #neckpainrelief #health #chiropractic #pain #shoulderinjury #jointpain #hippain #shoulder #injuryprevention #exercise #posturecorrection #painmanagement #mobility #painfree #wellness #physio #shoulderpainrelief #bhfyp

Do you tilt? Do you over- tuck? Do you do it just right? Watch and learn how to achieve a neutral pelvis to activate your pelvic floor, lower abs, hamstrings, gluts, release your hip flexors and decompress the spine....

Did you know long periods of sitting on the front of your sit bones causes your pelvis to tilt forward shortening the hip flexor muscles. This results in an over-arching of the lower back compressing there lumbar spine and a stomach that pooches forward. Do you have a pooch of your abdomen? Do you wish you didn’t? Do have low back pain and figure it is normal? FYI: back pain in NEVER normal!... Optimal pelvic tilt is a neural pelvis meaning it does not tilt forward nor backwards. It is straight up and down! You can estimate your own tilt by putting your back against the wall and measuring the space between the small of you back and the wall. A hand is the ideal amount of space. Significantly more or less is likely problematic. If you fall outside of this range you will want to strengthen your lower abdominal muscles, hamstring and gluts , and release the tension in your tight quadricep and PSOAS muscles! Stay tuned for tomorrow's post that will teach how to find your neutral pelvis. #flatstomachchallenge #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvicfloor #pelvichealth #pelvicfloorhealth #mommypooch #diastasic #corerehab #corerehabprogram #strengthsandconditioning #girlswholiftweights #goalsetting2020 #goalsettingtips #bodytransformations #fitgirlsforlife #fitgirlsclub #biofeedback #anteriorpelvictilt #archedback

POOR POSTURE AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE If left untreated, poor posture causes changes in the spine alignment leading to: 1 Blood vessel constriction resulting in blood clots and deep vein thrombosis, the culprits of heart attacks and strokes. 2Increase risk of developing cardiovascular disease.... 3 Constriction of the pericardial sac affecting electrical conduction causing heart arrhythmias. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? Here’s a little lessen on anatomy and fascia (aka, connective tissue). Picture this. A massive spiderweb containing all your organs, blood vessels, lymph vessels, muscles, bones, fat and nerves. Now imagine there is a constriction in 1 little area. This constriction pulls on the rest of the spiderweb . The insult occurs where the spiderweb is at its weakest integrity. This could be a joint, a muscle or an organ. CASE STUDY : Dr. #GuyVoyer had a mid-20 year old patient who suffered from a whiplash injury (contraction of T1, C7, C6 vertebra - cervico-thoracic junction (base of the neck, top of the shoulders). This also occurs in text neck. This gentleman developed atrial fibrillation. His cardiologist wanted to perform an ablation of the electrical system in his heart to treat his atrial fibrillation. He found Dr Voyer, who osteopathically manipulated his T1, C7 and C6 vertebra, then gave him the corresponding ELDOA postures with complete resolution of his atrial fibrillation. @beachbryce has gotten the same results with his clients with atrial fibrillation. When it comes to the function of our every cell of our body, STRUCTURE ALWAYS DICTATES FUNCTION, ALWAYS!!!

Posture and the Breath Poor Posture can make it harder to breathe. Breathing requires your diaphragm to have enough room in the thoracic and abdominal cavity to properly contract and release. Your ability to breathe optimally is boosted when your body is tall and lengthened in proper alignment. Without length the diaphragm cannot fill the lungs fully thus oxygen exchange becomes limited. Less oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange = less oxygen in the blood stream for your vital ...organs and your BRAIN When the brain receives less oxygen it panics and forces your to breath faster shallower breaths, which triggers your fight or flight stress response. This causes a chronic low level of anxiety all day long. In reality, we should slow down and take long deep breaths to calm the brain and active our rest and repair nervous system. Does your diaphragms even know how to work? Are you a belly breather or a chest breather? Not sure, lie down, relax and watch the video to find out if you can activate your diaphragm! #breathing #optimizeyourbreath #breathe #lungcapacity #anxiety #poorposture #ocpositiveposture #posturecorrection #postureexercises #eldoa #eldoaeveryday #diaphragm #diaphragmexercises #bellybreath #chestbreath #yogabreath #improvebreath #oxygenate #oxygenateyourself #tveldoa #eldoalosangeles #positiveposture
