Great explanation. Thanks very much!!!

Hi Doc, Any new patient videos coming soon?

I was diagnosed with moderate scoliosis at 8 and was in a brace by 9. It helped a little bit. But puberty grew me out of the brace after only 2 years, so the doctors went with just monitoring. I was told surgery was an option but I opted out. My hips and shoulders are noticeably uneven, but I deal with it. I'm in my early 30s now and have become increasingly more conscious of my posture as I've aged and will catch myself out of a slouch, especially when sitting at a desk.

Hello! Have you ever heard of chiari malformation? If so, do you recommend any type of body work for someone with the condition?

I can’t even express how great you are. Kind regards from Germany

Great content as always, really great video and wonderful explanation of the treatment

Why come there with filthy feet I mean really

Hi Dr If my son get Digital motion x-ray is safe because tomorrow I have an appointment for his scoliosis. Thank You

👋🏼 I’m wondering if this may be my issue…. As I can’t bend forwards at all. I have lower back pain everyday and can’t even barely put my socks on. During the day I loosen up a little but still can’t bend to touch my toes at all.

thank you, I really appreciate all your content, as well as your kind and respectful working method. Thank you for the opportunity to learn from your experience and knowledge.

I love your work!!! When trying to find someone who does this style of bodywork (in all aspects that you do) what should I look for in a provider? I live in Bakersfield, CA and the providers in this area are extremely limited. I don't know exactly what to ask for when looking into places that practices will understand what I'm asking for.

Sounds like such an alien experience to me. I cant imagine cryjng like that but like you said it seems to be very real.

Is that 10 trimesters (3.5 yrs non stop) after a bachelor's degree im assuming? So no degree start to finish 7.5 years roughly?

The neck is the only place i would not feel comfortable with fast cracking adjustments. This is due to the risk, albeit small risk, of tearing the artery and causing a stroke. Nice to see it can be adjusted without fast forceful movements.

My pituitary gland was taken out while I was in the Army! And to put it mildly everything hurts…! I enjoy your videos.

Mine is a more unusual case. I had a spheno-orbital meningioma on right side. Tumor behind eye was 2 cm and compressing the optic nerve. Tumor cells also invaded the right greater sphenoid wing and turned it to mush. It had to be drilled out. I have had many issues since. Have been doing Vision Therapy for over a year. Been getter CST for a few months to keep the right side from being stuck and not pumping the CSF. Slowly getting ambient vision back along with balance. Still a ways to go.

Hi Dr. Russ this was such a complete breakdown. I’m a software engineer so completely different but I’m always fascinated to learn about other career paths. I wish people went in depth as much as you did for every profession!

I would say no.

Thank you dr. Russ for this video! I am 33 yrs old and have been a massage therapist for 4 years. Im thinking about going back to school to become a chiropractor and should take me 6 years. Im just concern about the amount of debt and less working years to pay back my loan compare to people who graduated in their twenties. Do you have any advice?

H will auch diese Fußmassage!

You described all my problems exactly, she and i are twins 😭 I would love this in Los Angeles. If you have ANY recommendations, please let me know.

I didn't know that. Always learning💪 Thanks Dr. Russ🙏

Ich verstehe den leichtfertigen Umgang mit der Hws Manipulation nicht. Wollen alle einen Schlaganfall? Und warum sog. Fachleute das einfach so ausführen, ist mir unbegreiflich!

I sometimes wonder if everything will eventually lead down this path. I am currently trying to build a practice based around Myofascial Release (Barnes approach). I've also been taking training in neuromuscular therapy, and will be going for a certification in that some time next year. In addition, my mother had $2000 of credit with Upledger, and she gifted that to me, so I can take Craniosacral Therapy whenever I want to. Now, I'm already 43, and it's a big decision to consider. It would be nice to have the greater scope of practice, but professional referral is always an option too. I sometimes spin out on this.

love this video Dr. Russ, great as always!😄

Why I found this channel only now?! Such a hidden gem! You received instantly a new subscriber. This is exactly the type of video I love. Both educational and relaxing with lots of talking. I’m eager to browse through more of your content, Dr!

Great lecture! The nucleus being attacked by the immune system is mind blowing! Love learning this stuff.

Wow! You’re brilliant. This is exactly what I need. Do you know if there are chiropractors like you in Minnesota? Great video, you described the precise issue or areas of pain. I’ve been watching so many videos on how to treat this but yours makes the most sense. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing! As I mentioned in an another comment, I’m almost through the VCMT full time registered massage therapy school in Vancouver, Canada. In BC, our massage therapy programs are quite academically extensive, so it’s exciting to be almost done. My background was in theatre. I actually studied acting in NYC when I was 18. I also worked in restaurants, was a dance performer, fitness/ Pilates/ yoga teacher. I created a fitness KZfaq channel during the pandemic. Anyway, I was always drawn to massage therapy, but it wasn’t the right time. I’m very passionate about anatomy and helping people, so it seemed like the right fit! 😊

Thank you so much for posting this video! I found it very informative. I am in full time school studying to become a Registered Massage Therapist, here in Vancouver, Canada. I found your videos a couple days ago and have watched several all the way through. Thank you so much! You’re a fantastic instructor!

Good video! But what's the difference with this and normal breathing? Don't we don't do that anyway? Thank you!

I have a question. I have heard that TMJ in young adults can be possibly linked back to braces during early teen years when the jaw is still growing amd forming?

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊

Dr. Russ = Dr. ASMR. I always unwind before I go to sleep with your video's. Your actions and voice makes me very calm. I often fall asleep even 😅 Getting the treatment and hear you talking through every step of the way seems very relaxing. But I was wondering if treating a patient also makes you 'zen'. Because I believe it would do that for me if I were the doctor 🙂 Keep up the good work Doc! Greetings from Belgium!

No one has done anything for me with mine. It's been years, almost a decade. Just always coming in on a daily basis whenever it wants.

Fascinating watch as always Doc. Thanks for posting. Enjoy these longer explanatory videos

What an amazing person Dr. Russ is! Truly the Bob Ross of chiropractry! His smile and the way he speaks and actions are so warm and soft. Peak asmr content with valuable knowledge

Awesome work yet again Dr Russ.

Would this be a safe and beneficial therapy for someone with IIH (idiopathic intercranial hypertension)?

I’m reading on wiki CST being dangerous and people have died but that doesn’t seem to be what you’re doing here so I’m confused 😅

Ahhhhhh, a nice long session with the Good Doctah R! Thank you for your wonderful work and you fantastic voice!

love your videos

My 6yo and i were watching this video together. He fell asleep in my arms. I havent had a kid of mine fall asleep in my arms in quite some time. Thank you 💕💕

Thanks you mister!!!

So good! I’m a little squeamish about veins and arteries, so the beginning is good exposure therapy haha

Love how gentle & insightful you are Dr Russ. Amazing as always

I wish someone would massage my butt. 😭

I need a video about stiff knee with ACL and meniscus torn.

This is an excellent video. My Chiropractor is probably in her late 20's or early 30's and she literally does everything that you have explained in this video. I have been going to her for 3 years because im constantly getting ribs knocked out of place and she routinely listens and takes her time on working on me in the most respectfull way. My old Chiropractor was a bad experience, I waited longer in the wait room and he would get me and do his thing in 5 minutes and send me on my way.
