WE HAVE A PACKED SHOW FOR YOU. BUT FIRST, WE ARE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THE CHIROPRACTOR. I KNOW YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE CHIROPRACTOR. YOU’VE ACTUAYLL BEEN BEFORE. JACLYN: I JUST STARTED GOING TO A CHIROPRACTOR, AND IT IS LIFE-CHANGING. AUDREY: I WAS JUST GOING TO ASK YOU, HAS IT CHANGED YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER? JACLYN: YES, IT H.AS AUDREY: THAT’S WHY I’M KEEPING YOU AROUND. A LOT OF FOLKS SILT AT A DESK, MAYBE YOU’RE AAYLWS RUNNING AROUND TO TAKE THE KIDS TO AND FROM SCHOOL ACTIVITIES. THERE’S A GOOD CHANCE YOU MAY BE IN PAIN THIS MORNING. JACLYN: YOU MIGHT NOT ALWAYS HAVE TIME TO GO TO ETH DOCTOR. I KWNO THAT’S A PROBLEM FOR ME, GETTING THERE. OU NREXT LIVE GUEST IS HERE TO HELP FOLKS ON THE GO. AUDREY: LAWRENCE STUBBS IS JOINING US LIVE, A DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY. SHSE’ THE OWNER OF STUBBS MOBILE PHYSICAL THERAPY. LAUREN, GOOD MORNING TO YOU. DR. STUBBS: GOOD MORNING, AUDREY AND JACLYN. HOW ARE YOU GUYS? AUDREY: WE’RE FANTASTIC. THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE. SO WHAT EXACTLY IS MOBILE PHYSICAL THERAPY? DR. STUBBS: EAGRT QUESTION. SO IT’S YOUR TYPICAL OUTPATIENT PHYSIC TALHERAPY, WHERE NORMALLY YOU WODUL GO TO A CLINIC, EXCEPT NOW I BRINGT ITO YOU IN THE CONVENIENCE OF YOUR OWN HOME OR AT YOUR WORK OFFICE, AND YOU GET ONE-ON-ONE ATTENTION FROM ME WITHOUT ANY OTHER DISTRACTIONS. AUDREY: WHO IS THE BEST PERNSO FOR YOUR SERVICES? DR. STUBBS: BUSY, ACTIVE, LEIK YOU MENTIONED BEFORE, PARENTS, PROFESSIONALS, PEOPLE ON THE GO WHO DON’T HAVE AOT L OF TIME, BECAUSE WHEN I COME TO THEM I SAVE THEM THE TIME OF HAVING TO DRIVE TO APPOINTMENTS AND SIT IN WAITING ROOMS. IT REALLY HELPS THEM GET THEIR TIME BACK AND FEEL BETTER IN THEIR LIFE. USUALLY I DEAL WITH NEW PAINS OR EITHER NAGGING PAINS THAT YOU JUST HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH AND YOU FINALLY HAVE DECIDED IT’S TIME TO DO SOMETNGHI ABOUT IT. JACLYN: THIS COULD BE FOR ANYONE WHO MAYBE IS JUS WORKING FROM HOME OR ALWAYS KIND OF BNGEI ACTIVE, RIGHT? YOUR PHYSICAL THERAPY AND WORK OF CHIROPRACTI CCARE REALLY IS JUST TO TARGETNY A SORT OF PAINFUL, NAGGING SPOTS ON T BODY. DR. STUBBS: YEAH, ANYWHERE FROM YOUR HANDS TO YOUR FEET, BUT TODAY WE’RE GOING OVER MORE NECK AN BACK STU,FF BECSEAU THAT’S USUALLY HAPPENS. JACLYN: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE EXERCISES AND TIPS PEOPLE CAN DO TO RELIEVE THAT PAIN? LAUREN: SO A COUPLE OF RULES THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW ARE THAT YOU WANT TO MOVE AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN. I USUALLY RECOMMEND ERYVE 30 TO 60 MINUTES, MAYBE SET A TIMER OR PICK SOMHINGET THAT OCCURS WITH THAT FREQUENCY THROUGHOUT YOUR WORKDAY, AND HAVE THAT BECOME LI AKE TRIGGER FOR YOU TO GET UP AND MOVE OR TAKE A MOVEMENT SNKAC BREAK, JUST MOVEOR F 10 TO 30 SECONDS. AND WHEN YOU MOVE, WHAT YOU WANT TO DO IS YOU WTAN TO REVERSE THE POSITIONS YOU’VE BEEN IN. SO IF YOU’VE BEEN KINOFD HUNCHED FORWARD ON YOUR COMPUTER, IT THEN YOU WANT TO STRAIGHTEN UP. IF YOU’VE BEEN SITTING, YOU PROBABLY WANT TO STAND UP AND DO THE MOVEMENTS THAT YOU HAVEN’T BEEN DOING. BUT I’VE GOT FOUR THAT IANT W TO SHOW YOU GUYS TODAY. AREOU Y READY? AUDREY: YES. LAUREN: OK, I’M DOING A QUICK DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT I WOULD LIKE OR A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LIKE WHEN THEY’RE ON THEIR COMPUTER. YOU’RE HUNCHED FORWARD AND YOUR HEAD IS TRAINING TOWARDS THE SCREEN. YOU SEE HOW IT GETS TIGHT BACK HERE? THE FIRSTXE ERCISE TO HELP WITH ANY KIND OF TIGHTNESS, PAIN BACK IN THE NECK, SIT UP TALL, AND THEN YOU’RE GOING TO PULL YOUR CHIN BACK, LIKE YOU’RE MAKING A DOUBLE CHIN. IT’S NOT GOING TBEO GLAMOUSRO OR ANYTHING. AND YOU’RE JUST GOING TO TRY TO PULL THAT BACK. YOU MIGHTEE S YOUR EARS MOVE PAST YOUR SHOULDERS. I LIKE TO DO THIS AT STOP LIGHTS WHEN I’M DRIVING AROUND. BECAUSE I’M USULYAL I’M THIS IN TRAFFIC. YOU CAN REVERSE THAT, OPEN IT UP. IFOU Y REALLY FEEL LIKE YOU WANT AN EXTRA STRETCH, PULL FROM THE PTO OF YOUR HEAD, THAT FEELS REALLY NICE TO OPEN UP THE TOP OF YOUR NE. ANOTHER EXERCISEOU Y CAN DO IS YOU CAN ROLL UP A TOWEL, AND THEN JUST PLACE IT BINEHD YOUR BACK IN YOUR CHAIR LIKE THIS. YOU CAN DO IT FOR SUPPORT, AND YOU CAN LEAN BACK OVER TOP OF IT LIKE TT.HA OR YOU CAN ALSO FLIPT I THIS WAY AND TRY TO LEAN BACK OVER IT AS WELL, AND THAT USUALLY FLSEE REALLY GOOD IN THE MID BACK IF YOU ‘VE GOT PNAI THERE. IF YOU DON’T HAVE A TOWEL OYOR HAVE A HALF FOAM ROLL OR FOAM ROLLERT A HOME, YOU CANSE U THOSE TOO. ANOTHER MOVEMENT THAST’ REALLY NICE IS DO A ROTATION. YOU WANT TO KIND OFE MOV THROUGH YOUR FULL AVAILABLE, COMFORTABLE ROTATION RANGE TO THE POINT WHERE IT FEELS LE IKA LITTLE STRETCH. KINDF OUSE THE BACK OF YOUR CHAIR TO KIND OF PULL ON IT. AND YOU CAN USE YOUR LEG OR YOUR DESK TO PUSH ON. AND I WOULDO G TO BOTH SIDES AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH WHILE YOU’RE THERE, THE RIBS EXPAND WHEN YOU PRIVATE. IT WILL HELP STRETC OUTH YOUR MUSCLES EVEN MORE. AND THEN ONE OTHER EXERCISE THAT IS GOOD FOR THE SHOULDERS AND THE MID BACK IS IF YOU HAVE A RESISTANCE BAND, YOU’LL GRAB IT IN YOUR HANDS, PALMS UP. YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE ELBOWS SQUEEZED IN BY YOUR SIDE, AND THEY’RE GOING TO STAY AT YOUR SIDE. SO WITH YOUR PALMS UP, SQUZEEE YOUR SHOULDER BLADES TOGETHER, AND THEN PULL THAT BAND APART. YOU SHOULD FEEL IT IN THE MIDEDL OF YOUR BACK. MAYBE ON THE BACK OF YOUR SHOULDERS, ON THE SHOULDER BLADES. THIS I AS GOOD EXERCISE TOEL HP GET A LITTLE STRENGTHND A MOVEMENT IN YOUR ROTATE CUFF MUSCLES, AS WELL AS THE MID BACK MUSCLES. SO THAT FLSEE REALLY NICE. JACLYN: I EVEN FEEL IT WITHOUT THE BAND, I EVEN FEEL THAT STRETCH. AUDREY: THESE ARE ALL GREAT. SO SIMPLE, YOU CAN JUST DO IT SITTING AT URYO DESK STEVE ATWATER HOME OR PUT THAT SUPPORT IN THE CAR. I KNOW PEOPLE DO THAT WHEN THEY’RE DRIVING. LAUREN, FANTASTIC TO HAVE YOU ON OUR SHOW. THANK YOU SO MHUC FOR YOUR TE.IM AND EVERYONE AT HOME, YOU CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH LAUREN ANDER H TEAM IF YOU LIKE BY VISITING THE WEBSITE ON YROU SCREEN OR BY FOLLOWING STUBBS MOBILE PT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
