Hi there! I’m Dr Alex and I am obsessed with helping others to get healthier and ensure that their health never holds them back.
I am a NeuroStructural Chiropractor, host of the Better Ever After Podcast, author of The Sitting Antidote and Instagram health-influencer that serves hundreds of patients and tens of thousands of online-followers by providing care that focuses on correcting the real problems that create health concerns and passionately delivering the tips, tools, strategies and lifestyle resources required to find your healthiest self.
I believe that being healthy can be easy and attainable for all, as long as you have the right blueprint to get there and that when a health issue occurs, you always fix the cause and not just treat the symptoms.
This channel is an extension of that believe: give you the tool, strategies, routines and tips to help you give your body what it needs to be healthy!
This is excellent. I spent 2 minutes on each side and felt a really pleasant crunchy release and activation. Going to incorporate this into my flow. Thank you!
Soy Enfermero y constantemente hago esfuerzos moviendo pacientes, tengo 29 años y pensé que esto no me afectaría tan joven pero duele😢 y no se calma con nada, hay que cuidarse a uno mismo gente 👋 gracias doc por sus consejos 🙌
Dr. Alex! You are a life saver, I have been to osteopaths, chiropractors and PTs and no one has given me the stretches like you just did. You are fantastic! Thanks a million.
I have this problem but mine is at the worst stage. I hurt every single day from my back to my front rib cage. If seen doctor after doctor all say it's muscle but it never goes away. And it's unbearable anymore
THIS IS SO TRUE. I am a chronic pain neck sufferer the pain sometimes is unbearable and I suffer from generalized severe anxiety. I have gone to doctors, traumatologists, physical rehabilitators. None could fix it. All they prescribe are anxiolytics ssris and injecting me with huge fat needles for numbing the pain. I refuse to drug myself for I consider anxiety to be a warning from the body that something is wrong. I found your video today by accident and upon viewing I realized I always chest breath, I tried belly breathing and guess what? The godawful severe pain is gone, at least for now. I will start belly breathing. Thank you sir I subscribed I wish there were more doctors like yourself in my country
Here's what happened to me. I had a 1972 Ford Pinto and they passed a seat belt law in 1985. I put the shoulder strap over my left shoulder but the Ford Pinto shoulder straps at that time did not allow movement. So the first time I put on the shoulder strap I quickly turned around to look in my rear mirror to back up and I heard a big pop. Because the left shoulder strap kept my left shoulder in place and my right arm went flying over the back seat snapping something. I didn't feel much pain so I didn't worry about it but a few months later I developed frozen shoulder to my right shoulder. I have severe right shoulder winging. I feel like the shoulder blade needs to be popped back in place but I cannot find a doctor or chiropractor to do it and I've been to hundreds of them. Most of them have egos bigger than God and claim that you can't pop your shoulder out of place with a seatbelt shoulder strap. I think they are in cahoots with the automobile companies and are afraid of a lawsuit. Like you said in the video if you heard a pop and I'm wondering what popped and how do I pop it back in place? The pain is between my shoulder blades but it used to radiate to my arm and only recently could I feel the pain between my shoulder blades. The pain is absolutely incredible my doctor has me on 600 mg of ibuprofen and it doesn't work. Ice and heat is not causing any relief either.😢
Thanks, sir this video has given me some clarity about buying a chair. In my country, Ikea and Harmen Miller don't exist. I am a student I used to sit in a straight spine on a wooden Chair. But I think Buying a Chinese ergonomic chair with proper back and neck support will be a good diction for me.
Very nice warmups! They only take a few minutes and you don't have to get down on the floor. Started using the drills recently and feel much better when I get on my bike. Many thanks!
@@vinay.104 i went for all chekups and at last i came to know i was having both acidity pain bcoz of stomach ulcer and muscles pain at same time same pain killers for one week and for stomach ulcers two weeks antibiotics treatment thats it i do exercises daily to prevent same situation again.do you have same problem
Hi Alex, Im from Brazil. Im living with this miserable pain that never goes away. Man thats terrible. When I press inside of my clavicle like you said I feel a sharp pain exactly in the place of my cronic pain between my shoulder blades. This means something to you? Also i have headaches most every day and i can't turn the head so well to the right (where is the pain).
Having pain in chest pec and back top shoulder, have had multiple EKGs, echocardiogram, blood work and everything has come back fine. Just when i get muscular pain around pec area and back shoulder i get random palpations throughout the day. So need help with this. Im very active, play sports 3x a week and it just randomly happens everyday but when my pec and shoulder pain calms down i wont feel it at all throughout the day. Any thoughts on this would help as i feel like im alone. Thanks
Same exact thing with me, just got blood work done again yesterday in fact and everything still showing “fine” only thing I can think of is spike protein if you’re vaccinated which I am :/ if you are I suggest you look Into it.
@jaquaarrington4960 mine finally stopped a week after writing this and it only stopped after the Inflammation went down in my chest/pec area. I don't think it's the vaccine. Just pec being inflamed. Good luck 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Out of interest, are there any before and after videos where someone has actually made progress and fixed their winged scapula? There is so much content out there explaining what people “should” do in terms of exercises but not one video displaying clear results.
I am sorry but I never make content from a patient interaction for the privacy of and respect of the patient. Point taken though. I also tend to use acupuncture to help this problem if the exercises alone are not helping
