Behind The Scenes At A Cutting-Edge Biohacking Facility - JYZEN (Part 2)

You look really good, you know, in terms of your symmetry. The only thing I was noticing, and we'll see this is a little bit with your overhead squat and single leg pattern. So we'll just bring this up a little bit so we can gather quite a bit of information about your angles here. A little avatar here that allows us to look at you from any angle, which is really nice.

This uses.

These are lidar cameras. It's the same technology with mapping with the automatic cars. So this is infrared technology. We do see a little bit of hyperextension of your lumbar spine when you raise your arms. So usually that's a result of not enough thoracic spine mobility.

So we, we can look at that and then just from side view, we'll go ahead and show.

This.

Kind of watch you from how your hips move. You have beautiful hip mobility.

That looks good. And then we can look at you from another angle.

You can see symmetry. Trunk side to side, a little bit of shifting over to your left.

Similar as the other test. You guys do special prescriptor protocols to fix certain movement deficiencies.

Yeah, areas where there might be a lack of mobility gives us really quick data and then we can get people on the table and look at all these things passively as well as, you know, perform.

And do you prescribe both exercises as well as potentially like certain variants of deep tissue work or physical therapy modalities?

Yeah, we do. You know, we have body work. It's integrated. So we have people with various backgrounds that are doing this. So we're using this for performance based and meaning just like really looking at restrictions. So this can dial in where the restrictions are. Then we can, you know, really do an intervention to kind of reset everything and then integrate movement right away. So it's really fast and it really confirms what people need.

Peak Brain in LA.

Yeah, I think I had like three done done there.

I spent a week there once. A whole week of Neurofeedback training.

Oh, nice.

There are Pre and post QEDGs involved.

Oh, nice.

All right, now I'm going to start.

Checking each electrode to make sure we have a good connection. Okay, Just lean back and relax. Just want to make sure the electrodes are not on. Are you on any medications?

No.

I am using a Neural Field Q21 to acquire the data. I'm going to have you take a deep breath.

As you exhale. Relax your forehead. Relax your jaw with your eyes open. Focus on a spot looking out and down. Beautiful.

Okay.

And we are recording.

So we're going to record 10 minutes of eyes open data. And as we go through the process, I'll explain to you how much time has gone by. And then once we're halfway, I'll let you know how much time you have left.

So go ahead and relax your eyelids by giving a blink. And then just go back to looking at your spot. Beautiful. You're a little over a minute in. All right, let me clean you up. And we are done recording and we'll analyze the fun. So this is your brain map, and I'll explain everything that we're looking at.

Okay, cool.

There's three different aspects we look at. The first is perspective. Okay. So this is the top of your head, forehead, nose, ears, back of your head.

Okay, got it.

Each one of the second thing we look at is the frequency ranges of electrical activity that the brain generates. Each frequency range has a specific function. Function?

Yeah.

Delta and theta are the lowest, slowest frequencies. There why it's important to get a good night's sleep. Delta is the regenerative frequency. If there's a more recent head injury, there'll be excess delta because the brain will be trying to regenerate the area. During the deep stage of sleep, we generate delta. It's when the brain rejuvenates itself, clears out toxins, basically stabilizes for the coming day.

Okay.

Okay. Theta is what we generate during the REM stage of sleep. It's when short term memories consolidated into long term memory. It's also the dream hypnagogic state. So if you wake up right out of a REM stage of sleep, you'll remember your dreams. They'll just be right. You'll be in the dream one minute and out the next.

Okay.

So you're more likely to remember your dreams. Okay. Alpha is the awake resting. We call it the default state. I'm awake. I can see my environment. I can can choose to go back to sleep and possibly even go into theta and delta. Or I can get up and start my day.

Okay.

Okay. Beta and high beta, those are the faster frequencies. They're the thinking processing frequency. So I'm getting up, I'm starting my day. I have to think and process. What am I going to eat, what am I going to wear, what time am I going to leave? Those are all beta frequencies. Okay. High beta is more big picture multitasking. I need to leave at this time to get there by that time to pick up that time. Okay.

Delta Theta, Alpha Beta. Sounds like a sorority.

It is.

And so if there's too much beta, then that's too much thinking, anxiety provoking. If there's not enough beta, then it's difficult processing information. High beta. If there's too much high beta, that's more looping thoughts, more like OCD type.

Okay.

Okay. So the third thing we look at is the color legend. Anything that's white, green, and yellow to some degree is within a normative range. And anything in the lighter shades of blue. Okay. Anything that's orange and red is 2 to 3 standard deviations above the norm or in excess. And anything that's in the darker shades of blue is 2 to 3 standard deviations below the norm or deficient.

Okay.

So we see that there's quite a lot of dark blue in your map. Okay.

Okay.

So I'm going to deep dive into that and take a look at the individual 1 Hz bins.

Okay.

And so we get a better picture of what's going on.

And here we see what we call a coup. Possible coup contra coup. So the.

Okay.

There you go.

So when I see this pattern, I want to ask, did you ever hit your head or have had a head injury?

Yeah, I've had head injuries before.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So this is nothing crazy, but.

Well, it does. Right, right, right. But that's the. It doesn't have to be a concussion because all it really takes is acceleration, deceleration because the brain's just jostling around in cerebral spinal fluid and the skull is really sharp. Okay. So the brain bounces off the skull and the point of impact isn't necessarily where the most injury could be. My, for example, my niece was in a car accident. Her stitches are here and all the bleeding's back there. That's because the brain bounces off the skull. So you can see that there's maybe more than one here. It's a coup contre coup. And what happens is when the. When the brain bounces off the skull, it actually shears or tears the long connecting fibers in the axons, it's called axonal shearing. And. And over time, the brain goes into a more low voltage state. The mitochondria aren't generating enough ATP, the neural connections and the neural pathways aren't fully operating. And so it goes into two to three standard deviations below the norm. And with this presentation here.

We would.

Take a look at working with red light to start activating like a V light to activate the mitochondria.

I use that every day.

Oh, good. So this probably would have been. That's probably helped. It might have looked even. And then vasper and oxygen as well.

I use those, too.

Awesome. So the other question I have for you is when we look at this, this presentation here, the very first one we looked at.

We have what's called a diffused low voltage. Your brain is very low voltage. Were you aware of that?

People walk up to me at cocktail parties all the time and tell me that. Got a low voltage brain. No. What's that mean?

It means that.

The power that it's generating isn't standard micro molds. And so when I see a diffuse like this often, I want to ask, have you ever been tested for mold or had any exposure to mold or mycotoxins? You have.

And I've tested pretty clean. And my home test clean.

Okay.

The last time I tested, it's been a few months, but. Yeah.

So this is where Beth might come.

I did do a mold test last week too, but I don't know the results yet. So it'd be interesting because we'll be able to correlate it pretty well to this.

Yes, it would. This is. But it specifically mycotoxins, because mold can present in two ways. As an inflammation, because the immune system is kicking in and producing glutamate, which is a fast wave frequency neurotransmitter. Mycotoxins specifically. Specifically.

Work in low voltage presentation.

Okay.

Delta specifically.

Yeah.

What if I slept a lot last night? Because I slept like nine hours last night.

No, this is. This is not. This is something that's established itself over time. And when I see this, I. That's how Beth and I began working together, because I was in Corta Madera for 10 years and I would send. When I'd see this presentation, or a more inflammatory global presentation, I would send people to Beth and. Let me show you.

So you're saying my brain could work like. I feel like my brain works really well, to be honest with you. But what you're seeming to be implying is it could work even Better.

That's right.

That's pretty cool.

That's right. And here's an example. Here's a head injury. It's very local.

Yeah.

Focused injury. Coup contrecoup, like we saw.

Yeah.

Then it got better. And I was expecting it to even get better. And suddenly you see how this is diffused over the entire right hemisphere. That's right. And so that's when I sent her to Beth and she tested positive for mold. So Beth put her on a mold protocol. I continued testing, and that's her.

What'd you do with her?

Because, by the way, she had had mold before. I completely detoxed her. And then she moved and she got re exposed. And so what we did was Patricia Kane protocol. You know, the high dose phospholipids.

Okay.

Intravenously followed by folinic acid, glutathione, and methylcobalamin. So you're trying to switch. Sweep the mycotoxins out of the cell membranes, out of the mitochondrial membranes, etc. Mycotoxins are mitochondrial.

Ozone can work for that a little bit too. Can it?

What?

Can ozone work for that a little bit?

No.

No. Okay.

Not at all.

Okay.

Could help with some fungal colonization, but if you've got the mycotoxins in there, you really need to get them out. And it's a detox type of process.

Helps with it, you know?

Of course we're doing the hockey.

Gut.

Binders, and then you want to kill any colonized mold in the system, like in the sinuses or the intestinal tract.

Okay.

But the key is to sweep these mycotoxins up. First of all, you want to make sure you're no longer being exposed to mold because you don't want to just keep coming in.

Yeah.

If you've established that, then you need to really work on detoxifying the toxins, and the brain will tell you if you've done a good job.

Okay. Interesting.

Yeah.

Wow. Well, I'll be interesting to see if I have mold or maybe it's something else.

Another good thing, too. Of all the work you've done, a lot of your neural connections are very stable. There's just very few that are what we call hypocoherent, which can often happen with head injury.

Okay.

And so that's. The work you're doing is good. There's just some fine tuning in the temporal frontal regions.

Okay, got it. Cool.

Cindy, would you say that it would be better for him to have the oxygen while he's exercising without the hypoxia while he's exercising.

Yes. Because he's already in a hyperxia, so.

I usually use probably more hypoxia.

Exactly.

Than hyperoxia.

Yeah.

So you think if I'm doing like, the Vasper, I should be flooding the brain more? So that's where they have a whole, like, brain O2 protocol on the. On the live O2 that they've been mentioning to me. Maybe I'll start to do that a little bit.

Yeah.

Because we'd like more about what that is to let Cindy, we. We kind of screen people for their eligibility to do celgem, for example, which is intermittent hypoxic training, by having them first do a brain map. Because if you have these blue areas, it can make them a little bit worse to.

To spend time.

Okay.

The brain kind of tank.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay. Interesting.

It doesn't have the.

It's really useful.

Yeah.

Wow. Okay.

Isn't it?

Cool. Cool.

Well, good job on all.

Fascinating.

With your brain.

Well, thanks. You're giving me even more to work on now.

Yeah.

Okay. I'm like. I want to actually, like, work on some of the stuff and do a retest for sure. Because that'd be interesting too, especially if there's mold and I've.

And.

The battery of tests that Beth does. I've seen it over and over. Clear it out.

Wow. Okay.

What do you use?

I did like a urinary test. Just some doc ran it on me, but I didn't get the results yet. I don't know what they use, but I could forward the results to you as soon as I get them.

Do it.

Yeah. Okay. Sweet.

All right.

All right, Cool. Well, thank you, Cindy. This is fascinating. All right. The qeeg.

Yeah.

If it's not cold, it could be.

From just a bit too much.

I wouldn't give such a global appearance, though, if it wasn't for some sort of widespread toxin.

Right.

Yeah. It's diffused there.

But also the great news is it's so malleable. Like, this is remediable.

And Sydney, what surprises me is, like, you know, there's certain complaints that I have as far as, like, you know, physical joint aches here and there, and occasionally I get gut issues, but I honestly feel like my brain's just like, fired up all the time.

One question I wanted to ask you. How was your birth?

So then it was good. And your childhood?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah.

Because your autonomic nervous system was very healthy.

I was. I was homeschooled by a highly conservative, super clean Christian family in the fields of North Idaho. It was a pretty plain Jane childhood.

Yeah.

I would say level of trauma was a definite, very small little key.

Yeah.

Can you show the autonomics?

Yeah, let me show you.

This is one of the reasons why Cindy and I work together.

Okay.

A lot of my chronically ill patients have autonomic nervous system dysfunction where their autonomic nervous system is stuck in fight or flight. And Cindy in sometimes five sessions can fully normalize someone's autonomous.

So here is, what I specifically look at is the amygdala and hippocampus here. So these are the networks in the brain. And all the networks should come online, do the job and go offline. And two things can happen. They don't come online and then what's what we call hypocoherent or blue or disconnected or they come online and stay locked up. It's called hyper coherent. And when the amygdala and hippocampus is composed completely locked up.

That'S very often a pattern. I 99, 9.9% is a pattern for trauma of some sort. Either birth trauma, but meditation turned. I call it the amygdala switch. Meditation will turn off that amygdala switch. Or even horses equine therapy. Equine therapy is a real thing. And so over the years, years I've seen you have a little hypercoherence here in 8 and 9. And that's just a little stress marker.

Okay, interesting. Well, I'm going to start meditating on a horse then.

Cuz I'm a multitasker.

Wow, what a concept. Let's start a.

Can I just say plug for this? Because this type of personalized testing of the brain is so critical because like a lot of the biohacking technologies now are completely generic when it comes to the brain. Like they're doing like full brain, you know, red light for example. And if you have an inflamed area, you don't want to do more red light, you don't want to make it more.

You have to look at the organ. You're.

Yeah, you need to know like. And then you know, if you have a blue area, you don't want to do too much hypoxia and things that might further reduce energy pressure production. So. So we use a brain map here to really kind of design protocols for people.

I even know some of these newer red light protocols, you know, like the Vielight, their new clinical model, the neuro lets you adjust your frequencies.

Yeah, that's good.

I have one of those.

But you have to know what you.

Have to know what areas and where.

I've talked with Dr. Lim a few times on the phone. We've actually set up a few protocols. I'm not as good about using that as the one that's just, like, click and go. But I also got a brand new.

Or the gamma.

I use both. I kind of alternate back and forth. And then I also have just. Have you heard of a neuronic. It's a red light helmet. Yes, I have one of those. I just got it, like, two days ago. I haven't messed around.

Oh, you got it?

Yeah, I had.

Is it comfortable?

Yeah, it's super comfortable because as soon as I got it and again, I used it once, then had to leave for this trip. But I just put the little velcro pads on it, custom fit it and that. I'm gonna mess around with that one.

Too, because some people are completely complaining.

It'S not comfortable, but.

I don't mind.

Yeah, cool.

Yeah. But of course, I also wrote on.

So in your meditation, just meditate on that feeling of I'm safe.

Yeah. I'm safe on a horse.

Okay.

All right. Got it.

All right, Sydney.

All right.

Thank you, Sydney.

Okay, so we're ready to put the markers on now.

Okay.

And Tamara will look through the markers.

Okay.

Okay.

Do you want to put the sacrum sensor on him first, underneath everything, or do you want to do the more. I think we should just. Yeah, after. Just so we don't have any.

Yeah.

I'm just gonna go up on there. I'm coming in behind you.

I'm just gonna.

Just a little bit.

Thanks for that.

So this is gonna allow you to get, like, a digitization of each joint.

And be able to look at angles and things like that. While I'm moving.

Exactly. So I just have one more.

At.

The.

Here.

And then up here.

All right, Ready?

Okay. Okay.

All right, so you can turn on.

The treadmill and begin to warm up.

Okay.

Yeah. Okay.

And then just let us know what speed is.

I put it in seven.

Whenever you're ready, we go up to 7, and then we'll record from 7.0.

All right. Beginning capture.

It.

All right, you can go ahead and pause. Top left is the pause button.

Yeah.

This is your regular speed so you.

Can see the mapping.

So it shows Your cadence at 159. And then let your hip drop.

A little bit of a pelvic driving gait.

And then left and right, we have a little bit. A little bit of asymmetry with crossover with your ankles. Yeah, a little Bit of crossover.

And your hip extension is beautiful.

Yeah, I've got 90 degrees on left and right. So actually you're pretty symmetrical.

So what's a little bit hip motion? A little bit of hip dropping there.

Okay.

And then. And then the head oscillation.

Vertical oscillation is 9 cm. This is your comfortable kind of running. You haven't been running, so I'm sure it will change over time. Not being on a treadmill for a while is one. Well, yeah, and a short one at that. So want to try one more speed?

Like faster speed?

Yeah, let's do faster. Cuz things might, you know, break down a little bit and I'll be able.

To see a little bit more.

We're going to break you down then.

All right, bring me down. Break me. Okay, so back to running.

Yes. So what speed are we going to?

I was at seven, so I guess maybe eight.

Okay, just tell me when.

Yeah, go to eight.

Yes, go to eight.

Okay.

All right.

Yes. So over strider and there's a little collapsing. Yeah, nice.

So I'll actually put you into a category as an over strider collapse.

Yeah. We have like an algorithm based on different things, based on research.

What's this software called?

This is actually Helix Helix.

Yeah.

Run DNA.

So and I would imagine you could do this for walking.

As well if you want to get someone's walking gait.

Yeah.

Which obviously for like a maybe a non athlete and someone who just walks a lot and wants to make sure they're biomechanics.

I don't know if the categories relate to walking.

Yeah.

More so than running. But there's also a bike, a fit assessment as well.

That's interesting.

Another addition.

I feel like your bike knee angle and knee varusal guess. Something like that.

Yeah.

Gotcha.

And Doug Adams is the person who originated this. It's his company. So he's worked with Rich Willey who's one of the top researchers running biomechanics lab. So he's doing a lot of work with the Air Force as well.

Wow, that's pretty slick.

So gives us a lot of information pretty quickly with our endurance athletes. And then we've got the kinetic movement and in software as well. We could do gait on the kinetotech as well.

Okay.

Not quite as accurate with the.

Gotcha.

With the information.

Cool. Interesting.

Yeah. So we can take the markers off and then we can. We want to show you the run easy. This is a sensor based technology.

When you're seeing things like this, do you guys also provide prescriptive training. We will modifications or physical therapy really.

Customized to each individual and then coaching plans and. And we'll be able to put people on personalized custom programs and look at their weaknesses and develop a training program for them based on this. So customized for training and prevention of injuries and performance based. Improving performance. And what we can do is also get them on and do feedback and real time on this and actually do different things to help. Cue the gate.

Okay.

And see if our intervention.

We're the test smarties.

Got it.

Currently. Yeah. And this should just take a couple minutes. It's not very long. Put this right in the middle of your sacrum.

Okay.

And probably run at the same speed so you can get the data. And then if you can tighten that and click that in the. In the front. And then we'll put the sensor underneath your shorts here.

Okay.

This in. It doesn't flap around.

Okay. I'm back on the treadmill.

Back on the treadmill. Let's see if we have. Let's make sure the sensor is connected to the computer real quick.

Okay.

All right. So yeah, go ahead and warm up. We're going to get some data every five seconds so this won't take long.

Okay.

It's at 6, 5 right now we.

Take it 70 again.

No, we're good. Just keep it there for a bit. Okay.

Okay.

It.

11.3.

So the first test is standing at the 7ft line.

What you're going to do is you're going to hold like toes behind seven foot.

You're going to face the camera. Camera.

Okay.

So.

What you're going to do is hold on to that. Okay. So what you're going to do is hold onto the bar like this and standing on your left leg in front.

Of or behind the neck.

Behind the neck.

Okay.

So level and just like a hurdle step an imaginary line to the six foot level.

Okay.

So you're going to raise your left foot and bring it.

Draw my left foot.

Okay.

And then bring it over like your hurdle stepping. And drop your heel down but don't touch it to the floor kind of FMS style and then come back up. So we're going to do that on the left and right leg.

Okay.

So that's kind of. We haven't recorded yet, but we'll tell you when we're going to be recording. And you want to do this pretty slow.

Okay.

Okay. Pause when you get down and then come back up. All right. Ready and record it.

Ready.

Do that a little bit higher. Raise your left leg up to about 90 degrees. Yeah. There you go. And then lower and then come back. Beautiful. Do that.

One more time. Good.

Good. You're done with that leg. And we will stop recording. We'll go to the next one. You're going to do the same thing on the right leg. The right leg will be moving.

Okay.

And step over the imaginary hurdle, dropping your heel down to the ground. Nice and slow. We'll do that three times. Go ahead.

That's great.

So the next test, then we're going to do a squat. And this allows us to look at how well your hips are moving and all of your joints. So basically, feet shoulder width apart, hands come out, arms forward, and then go as low as you can and pause at the end of your squat. As low as you can go.

Pause for two seconds and then come back up.

Great. Let's do that one more time.

Beautiful.

Right, And I'm going to begin the recording. We'll do three squats and go ahead.

Same as I just did.

Yeah.

Okay. Okay, awesome. And then we'll do it an overhead squat. So, same test, but the arms remain overhead the entire time.

Okay.

And then go down as low as you can go.

Okay.

And then pause for two seconds. Let's just do one for review. And then we'll do a couple. Can your palms speak?

Yeah, that's fine. All right, so I'll be recording at three. And again.

Beautiful. Squat there. And then we'll do single leg squat. So you're gonna keep your hands on your hips here.

Okay.

And then add that. Is it six or seven feet long on that one? That is the seven feet.

Okay.

Yeah. So you'll just come over and hold here. And then do a single leg squat as far down as you can with.

The leg behind me or in front of me?

Behind you.

Okay.

Okay.

You can bend the heel back towards your back.

Yeah.

Just take two reps on this one.

It's fine.

Ready?

All right, before recording.

Go ahead.

All right, and then we will go to the next one. One second, left leg.

And begin.

Perfect.

And then. Is that it? Yeah. Oh, we got shoulder. Are we doing the shoulder? Thoracic rotation, rotation, shoulder flexion. Okay, so we're going to bring this chair. We're going to have you sit on this chair on the mat. So we're going to move this over, have you sit here, and then the test is just basically sitting, squeezing your legs together, arms up at 90 degrees and rotating as far as you can to this side and then to the opposite side.

There you go.

Okay.

Like, sit and be fit.

Yeah.

Okay.

And you'll do.

Let's go two times each side.

Okay.

Each direction. Go ahead, rotate. Pause for two. One, two.

Side.

One side.

Yep.

All right.

And then last but definitely not least. Yeah. And then we'll just have.

On the seven foot line, I'm just going to have you do shoulder flexion. So just looking at your shoulder mobility, how that integrates. Okay, so basically just up.

Just arms up overhead.

Yep. And then pause it for two seconds. We'll do that three times. Which direction we fall in space, basically towards.

Okay, towards us.

Ready.

And begin.

You look really good. You know, in terms of your symmetry. The only thing I was noticing, and we'll see this is a little bit with your overhead squat and single leg pattern. So we'll just bring this up a little bit.

So we can gather quite a bit of information about your angles here. A little avatar here that allows us to look at you from any angle, which is really nice.

This uses.

These are lit arc cameras. It's the same technology with mapping with the automatic cars, uses infrared technology. We do see a little bit of hyperextension of your lumbar spine when you raise your arms. So usually that's a result of not enough thoracic spine mobility.

So we can look at that. And then just from side view, we'll go ahead and show.

This.

Kind of watch you from how your hips move. You have beautiful hip move mobility.

That looks good. And then we can look at you from another angle.

You can see symmetry, trunk side to side, a little bit of shifting over to your left.

Similar as the other test. You guys do special prescription protocols to fix certain movement deficiencies?

Yeah, there might be a lack of mobility, gives us really quick data. And then we can put people on the table and look at all these things passively as well as, you know, perform.

And do you prescribe both exercises as well as potentially like certain variants of deep tissue work or physical therapy modalities?

Yeah, we do. You know, we have body work, it's integrated. So we have people with various backgrounds that are doing this. So we're using this for performance based and meaning just like really looking at restrictions. So this can dial in where the restrictions are. Then we can, you know, really do an intervention to kind of reset everything and then integrate movement. Yeah, right away. So it's really fast and it really confirms what people need.

So go back to that, that overview of all the different exercises I want to look at.

So your visit sounds.

Shoulder flexion could use a little bit of improvement maybe.

Yeah. And that's based on a little bit of.

Your lumbar spine. Thoracic extension is thoracic.

It's interesting how it breaks it down because you wouldn't know whether it's shoulder mobility or thoracic spine unless you actually have the ability to visualize it.

So you're in the red. So it's quick and easy. Gives us measurements that would, you know, take a long time to do, you know, traditionally. And then we can then look at your thoracic rotation and see, you know, normally one, we want to see a range of 35 for athletes 20 to 35. So you're right around there.

Yeah. And then what's that one on the bottom? That was a little orange. A lot of the numbers look pretty good, but the shoulder flexion looked off a little bit. And okay, hurdle step. Right, right.

So let's look at that. That's you stabilizing on your left leg. So the leg that was moving was your right leg.

So that's the one where the left. That was the one. That felt buggy too, a little bit. That. That's probably left knee we can see due to some previous left knee injuries.

Yeah, there you go.

Yeah, Interesting.

Okay.

Cuz you get. I can feel that left knee just buckling a little bit.

So you see a little bit of valgus. You going into valgus with your knee in a little bit. Bit less hip control, a little bit more pelvic dropping on the left. So it identifies. What we need to do is to get those areas back online.

Yeah, yeah. Interesting.

Yeah. So pelvic and hip stability are a little bit of a factor for.

Yeah. Thoracic mobility on some of the shoulder stuff.

Yeah.

Interesting.

Isn't that cool?

It's fascinating. Super cool.

Yeah.

Yeah. It seems to me like it's a pretty good assessment do. Especially when you combine with the movement.

Yeah.

Over on the treadmill. I like it. Cool.

Yeah.

Thanks for showing that to me.

Yeah, thank you.

Amazing.

Looking pretty good. And then we, you know, do some manual working.

Yeah.

Get you moving even more.

I like it. Yeah, I like it.

Wow.

Cool. And this one's called the Kinotech.

This is kinetic with a K motion technology.

Yeah, Cool. I like it. And then you guys, like, I imagine, keep all these files on. On hand and can retest people.

Yeah, we're retesting almost every time, you know, because it's so easy. So. Yeah, we can do that right away.

Yeah, cool.

Every time they come in.

I like it.

All right. Do you get a lot of body work?

I don't know, a lot is probably once a week.

Yeah.

Probably average once a week.

Very good.

Yeah. So you. You look pretty healthy. Just going to check a couple things based on your assessment here.

Tender at all. That's your right.

Really?

Okay.

I'm just going to check.

Here.

Pretty healthy tissues.

Thank you.

Yeah.

So.

Yeah, thoracic spine, we certainly could do that.

But.

Stabilizers are always a little funky Right. When you have a knee issue.

So I would say you have more fibrosis on this side and a little bit less mass on the left side.

So what I found with the shockwave, it has a neuromodulation effect on the tissues as well. So you get some analgesic effect and you get a lot of kind of breaking up of the myofibroblast. So that fascia becomes more relaxed and more extensive. So you get some collagen.

Okay.

Formation and. And then inflammatory response like stem cell activation. So it's really, really good for old chronic injuries as well as something that's actually needing to. To be worked on faster in an acute situation. So let's. Yeah, let's get you on your side and we'll just show you what that is on the. Okay, left side, and we'll just kind of get you comfortable on your right side and we'll treat your left.

So lay on my right side.

Yeah. Okay, let's see if we can.

Put your houses.

Okay.

All right, so I'm just gonna put you here, and then we're probably gonna get a need to move the machine just so that we're in the right situation. So if you're comfortable like that.

Put this underneath here.

Put these on again. Lift your leg for me. How's that.

Shockwave? In conjunction with the manual, myofascial work is really transformational for people to really help people quickly and they can see the results, really.

It's called myofascial shockwave.

This is radial pulse shockwave. It uses a high pressure pump to push the waveform into the tissues with ultrasound gel.

Okay, gotcha.

Yeah.

Is it similar to all that device called the trt?

I'm not familiar with that.

This is Permax technology from Switzerland.

Okay.

Okay. So we're gonna just put a little gel on here and should be fairly comfortable. We're going to start really low where you're comfortable, so give me some feedback.

Okay.

And after about a minute or so, you will find that it gets a little bit more. A little bit more comfortable.

Okay.

So what would be interesting is to treat this and then do the work and then retest your squat and see if there was a change.

All in the same session.

I've also done the gains wave shock wave therapy for the like the men's sexual health use, like a shockwave therapy for that also.

Yeah, that's awesome.

Regions.

Yeah.

Very successful, too. Right.

So how is the pain level on a scale from like, 0 to 10, how uncomfortable is this pain? Yeah. How much pain do you have? Okay.

So we want to get it up to about a three or four. So I'm just going to bring you up to a higher level so that we get more intensity to treat the area. Area. This radial shock wave goes about 5cm into the tissues.

Which is really good for muscle tissue breaking up any adhesions, fascia and salt.

Okay.

How you doing here.
