[00:09:52]It's coming out. It's coming out.

[00:09:59]Almost want to see if I can't pull the skin there.

[00:10:12]The pocket of fluid there. Look at that right there.

[00:10:20]>> I see. Yeah.

[00:10:21]>> Down here. You were pointing up here, you know, and I'm like, but there's this thing down here.

[00:10:28]>> Yeah. All of it.

[00:10:30]>> It's the whole thing.

[00:10:31]>> It's just there.

[00:10:35]>> Okay. Have you ever had a massage?

[00:10:37]>> I have like twice.

[00:10:40]>> We need to get a few more of those.

[00:10:42]Okay.

[00:10:43]>> Yeah.

[00:10:46]Okay, we're going to go for it.

[00:10:47]>> Okay, >> you let me know.

[00:10:50]>> Okay, >> because it's the whole structure. Do you understand? It's the whole thing has to be brought down.

[00:10:54]>> I can't just do this one little >> Yeah.

[00:10:56]>> I got to start the whole thing.

[00:11:00]>> You can't just move one piece.

[00:11:03]>> It's not attached to anything. No, you know, you got to move the whole thing. Oh, and it starts up here.

[00:12:42]Okay, great.

[00:12:44]>> What does this do exactly?

[00:12:46]>> Or what does it show?

[00:12:47]>> Well, you're going to feel it in a second. So, let me explain it to you as I'm doing it, >> okay?

[00:12:51]>> Because it'll make more sense.

[00:12:53]>> You already have petite coming out just from me doing that. Petique is just broken capillaries.

[00:12:59]That's why it doesn't mark or scar, >> right?

[00:13:02]>> Because it's just already part of your lymphatic system.

[00:13:08]>> Um, it's not I'm not doing anything to the dermis.

[00:13:11]>> Okay.

[00:13:12]>> Okay. It's underneath in that muscle layer.

[00:13:17]>> Feel that?

[00:13:18]>> Is that the scraper?

[00:13:19]>> That's the scraper.

[00:13:19]>> What? No way.

[00:13:22]>> Yeah. It doesn't even feel like >> See how it feels like I'm pulling apart adhesions?

[00:13:27]>> Yeah. I'm taking your tissue and there's a knot here. It's stuck. There's a piece of glue in there.

[00:13:31]>> Yeah.

[00:13:31]>> Where you tore it.

[00:13:33]>> Micro tears. Okay. We're not saying you didn't evulse. Okay. The muscle you just, you know, little micro tears from like overstretching it or trying to get rid of it or it when it happened 16, >> whatever how old you were.

[00:13:46]>> Yeah.

[00:13:47]>> It tore and your body's never been able to heal properly.

[00:13:52]>> Yeah.

[00:13:53]>> So, I'm trying to break it back down.

[00:13:56]It's almost like re-breaking a bone, >> but you're doing it in this tissue.

[00:14:01]>> So, it's sore, but muscles are very vascular and they heal very quickly.

[00:14:05]>> Yeah.

[00:14:06]>> In a couple days, you know, they're done. So, be careful with yourself, >> okay?

[00:14:09]>> For the next few days, okay?

[00:14:11]>> Okay.

[00:14:11]>> No new activities. No, don't go bungee jumping.

[00:14:15]>> Don't go running, you know, for miles when you haven't done it before, okay?

[00:14:19]>> Nothing new. Give me a week.

[00:14:21]>> Sounds good.

[00:14:22]>> And you can still do your regular exercise. You can still do whatever you normally do, >> okay?

[00:14:26]>> Just nothing new. Okay, >> that's good.

[00:14:29]>> Cuz you're going to be hyper mobile.

[00:14:32]>> You're going to be like really flexible, >> right?

[00:14:35]>> Look at this. I have so much torque now.

[00:14:38]Let me go try this out. No, no, no. Your body will adapt. Give it a week. Okay.

[00:14:44]>> And you're going to see this here.

[00:14:46]>> Yeah.

[00:14:47]>> All right. All right. That's That's where I'll take it. Okay.

[00:14:49]>> Let me Where's the phone? I'll take a picture of it for I'll still going to do the other side, but I just want you to see this.

[00:14:55]>> Okay. And does the like how red it gets does the >> You can tell that there's quite a bit of congestion here.

[00:15:01]>> Oh, I see. So, they won't >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It Well, see, sometimes people work out and they're constantly repairing and there's a high cell turnover rate. So, sometimes people that work out a lot can have it.

[00:15:13]>> Yeah.

[00:15:13]>> But this just looks like a heavy buildup.

[00:15:15]>> Okay.

[00:15:20]>> Yeah. And there's just more coming out here.

[00:15:23]>> But that's about, you know, I take you right to the edge. Okay.

[00:15:32]>> The first time you have this done, it's no picnic.

[00:15:35]>> Yeah.

[00:15:35]>> Carving out all this stuff.

[00:15:38]>> Oh yeah.

[00:15:39]>> Mhm.

[00:15:40]>> See this pink? That'll go away. This is what takes about seven days.

[00:15:44]>> Okay. Gotcha.

[00:15:45]>> See, that was a little bit I pulled out over there.

[00:15:47]>> You can zoom in on it if you want.

[00:15:48]>> It's interesting. So like even Like if you scraped somewhere that didn't really have anything under there, it's not really >> Well, I'll go do this and we'll see what we find.

[00:15:58]>> Okay.

[00:15:59]>> Um, but this is where you >> your problem area was. Like I still haven't pulled it out in here yet.

[00:16:04]>> Okay. Gotcha.

[00:16:05]>> I don't I don't feel much in there that's going to come out. So even though it might be torn, if there's no congestion under there, it's not going to turn this color.

[00:16:13]>> Yeah. Okay. Gotcha.

[00:16:14]>> And if you And if you keep having it done, nothing comes out.

[00:16:17]>> Okay. It only comes out like if you had it.

[00:16:20]>> Yeah, >> but really she just needs it pushed back in other side.

[00:16:38]You're okay. You're okay. Just moving it around so I can get down into the shoulder.

[00:18:06]>> So, like I'm scraping your whole spine, right? Just lightly. Sometimes it reveals the worst one.

[00:18:11]And the only one is this one.

[00:18:14]>> Yep.

[00:18:15]>> Right there. Okay. Right there.

[00:18:17]>> Yeah.

[00:18:18]>> The none of these. None of these. None.

[00:18:59]>> Okay.

[00:18:59]>> I can push on it, but to scrape it >> Okay.

[00:19:02]>> It hurts. The bones don't like to be scraped.

[00:19:04]>> Okay.

[00:19:05]>> So, one rough surface against another rough surface, it hurts. Okay. Okay. But the muscles can take it. So, this is what's coming out. This was another spasm here.

[00:19:12]>> Mhm. Yeah.

[00:19:13]>> I know it kind of looks like it's all over, but it's just here.

[00:19:15]>> Okay.

[00:21:39]>> But just your elbow back.

[00:21:43]>> See, I don't take it past end range.

[00:21:46]>> That's it right there. I'm not going to go crack that >> when she very easily >> reaches end range. Some people don't reach end range that easily. So you go ahead and push it a little bit, you know, but here >> on you everything's end. Well, see there's a little bit of a catch here. So lean away from me.
