7d. Exercises to heal pains in the thoracic spine

   
Thoracic spine + diaphragm video 1 exercise 1a: Exhale vigorously, leaning forward while expelling the remaining air -
Thoracic spine: Both arms are extended with 10 degrees upwards, the chest area is stretched into a wall corner

Principle 1: Exercises with tensions and pressure provoke that stem cells come for reconstructing new cartilage. from video: Fingerschmerzen / -arthrose | Die besten Übungen im Büro | Faszien-Rollmassage, Polyarthrose (7min.48sec.). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULnQk62PAHE (13min.47sec.) Principle 2: For having an effect an exercise has to last at least 3 minutes and there has to be a "tearing" effect. Principle 3: The massage ball should be soft, should give in a little bit hindering aches with bones. Wooden balls or similar hard things must not be taken for this. from video: Fingerschmerzen / -arthrose | Die besten Übungen im Büro | Faszien-Rollmassage, Polyarthrose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCRmTIgiy8w (2min.0-22sec.) Principle 4: Perform exercises slowly mm by mm: The fluid must be forced through tiny openings, and that's why all exercises have to be performed really slowly. from video: Karpaltunnelsyndrom // Übungen zum Mitmachen // Video in Mitmachlänge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3CwPqCQMug&t=3s (8min.56sec.). Principle 5: Pain levels: "8 means: It starts to hurt significantly (12min.19sec.). 9.9 means: It hurts even more (12min.24sec.), but not so much that calm breathing would be stopped, so the pain is not connected yet (12min.30sec.). Once docking with the pain, it's 10, then one has to reduce the tension a bit." from video: Karpaltunnelsyndrom // Übungen zum Mitmachen // Video in Mitmachlänge https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3CwPqCQMug&t=3s (12min.36sec.) Slightly tormented smile: "A slightly tormented smile is always the right expression in the face" (9min.37sec.). from video: Daumenschmerzen | 10-Minuten-Programm für den Daumen | Rhizarthrose, Daumensattelgelenk (11min.17sek.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRqs_1Fdqsk (9min.37sec.). The sponge: "Never roll back and forth (15min.17sec.)" That has no use, because we want to eliminate the liquid from the location pressing it like through a sponge." from video: Rücken Übungen // Rückenschmerzen, Faszien Training, Übungen für den Rücken, Schmerzen Rücken (37min.23sek.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTBKZ6N8hB8 (15min.25sec.) Small massage ball: You can take a tennis ball, or a hard apple, any other ball of the appropriate size, from the nursery or the dog toy, anything of this size [which is not as hard as wood]. video: Rücken Übungen // Rückenschmerzen, Faszien Training, Übungen für den Rücken, Schmerzen Rücken (37min.23sek.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTBKZ6N8hB8 (2min.17sec.). Big massage ball: For the big massage ball you can also use a bigger ball, polystyrene balls for plants or flower arrangements, with the diameter of a male finger span. from video: Rücken Übungen // Rückenschmerzen, Faszien Training, Übungen für den Rücken, Schmerzen Rücken (37min.23sek.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTBKZ6N8hB8 (8min.37sec.). Big massage roller: You can also take a sofa roll [or yoga roll]. [If you take a wooden kitchen roll, you must install a large notch in the middle so that the spinous processes do not touch the roll]. from video: Rücken Übungen // Rückenschmerzen, Faszien Training, Übungen für den Rücken, Schmerzen Rücken (37min.23sek.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTBKZ6N8hB8 (13min.1sec.)

The perpetual sitting position provokes that the shoulders are always bent forward and inward (38''). Therefore the chest muscles are shortened and also the muscles of the upper arms are shortened (45''). Also the diaphragm (the respiratory muscle) is suffering because during sitting the breathing is only flat and shallow. Therefore also certain regions of the diaphragm are shortening - which is dividing the whole body (1'11'').

Thoracic spine video 1 massage 1a: In a sitting position the musscles and the diaphragm on the sternum are massaged and relaxed

It starts at the bottom, where the bones form a point, the sword reserve, there it is very sensitive (2min.31sec.). With the small massage ball, the whole area is searched for pain points. With only shallow breathing, the diaphragm's lift which would be by a deep breathing, and this provokes shortenings in the diaphragm and tensions and pain points at the sternum end (3min.21sec.).

Thoracic spine video 1 massage 1: With the small massage ball the lower end of the sternum is massaged

Take your time for massaging the breastbone: breathing becomes more relaxed, the well-being becomes better, "it changes the whole human being" with all its sensations (3min.47sec.). And always breathe deeply, do not hold your breath (4min.20sec.).

Then, with the small massage ball slowly raise to the left side of the breastbone, always looking for the sensitive areas and stay there and relax the places, on the pain points "make circles for a short time" (4min.46sec.). Then rise again, "up to the point where the collarbone begins" (5min.1sec.), always make the massage very slowly so that the fluid is forced passing the fine tissue openings (5min.17sec.). When massage is too fast, then you roll over the liquid without any effect (5min.24sec.). Always keep the pressure, so you have to hold the massage ball with both hands (6min.8sec.).

Thoracic spine video 1 massage 1b: Rolling up on the sternum on the right side
with the small massage ball on the right side of the sternum (8min.23sec.).

Thoracic spine video 1 massage 2: Unroll the back on the large massage roller

The back is slowly unrolled on the large massage roller from the pelvis to the neck (10min.3sec.).

When the massage roller reaches the area of the thoracic spine, one has to "come up" with the thoracic spine (10min.21sec.). The transition to the cervical spine must be slow, "come down" slowly with the trunk when the massage roller is passing to the cervical spine (11min.4sec.).

Then sit down and there are now 2 exercises:

Thoracic spine video 1 exercise 1a: Inhale - exhale - nose closed - stretch the diaphragm with suction reflex

Sit on a chair and take a deep breath and exhale as much as possible. Then bend over and release the last rest of the air (11min.41sec.). In this airless state you hold your nose, mouth remains closed, you come upside down and so you have the most relaxed position of the diaphragm. You do a sucking reflex and the diaphragm is strained (11min.59sec.). In this way, the diaphragm reacts with "very good stretching reactions" (12min.4sec.).

 
Thoracic spine + diaphragm video 1 exercise 1a: Exhale vigorously, leaning forwards while puffing out the remaining air - hold your nose closed and stretch the diaphragm with a suction reflex

 
Thoracic spine + diaphragm video 1 exercise 1a: Exhale vigorously, leaning forward while puffing out the remaining air


Thoracic spine + diaphragm video 1 exercise 1a: Hold the nose closed and stretch the diaphragm with a sucking reflex

"This is now very intense stretching work for the diaphragm - and when it's coming to an end not working any more, go on breathing normally" (12min.55sec.). This diaphragmatic exercise is very stressful, "you have to get used to it slowly" (13min.7sec.).

Thoracic spine video 1 exercise 1b: Inhale - exhale like blowing out candles - nose closed - stretch the diaphragm with suction reflex

The sick person exhales as if candles were blown out, then the nose is hold closed, the person gets straight up and makes the sucking reflex for stretching the diaphragm (13min.50sec.).

 
Thoracic spine + diaphragm video 1 exercise 1b: Breathe in a great deal and then exhale as if you were blowing out candles -
Thoracic spine + diaphragm video 1 exercise 1b: Hold the nose closed and stretch the diaphragm with a sucking reflex

Thoracic spine video 1 exercise 2: Stretching of the chest muscles in a wall corner

The patient's person stretches the upper body with outstretched arms, which go upwards at a 10-degree angle, bent forward into a wall corner, NOT sagging with the back, do not make a "belly" (14min.33sec.).

Thoracic spine: With arms extended 10 degrees upwards, the chest area is stretched into a wall corner

This exercise stretches the chest muscles, which are shortened by the eternal sitting position. [This stretching exercise for the chest can be performed also with arms being crossed on the back]. Always breathe in and exhale well and keep on "going into" the stretch [with each exhale stretch more] (15min.2sec.). After this exercise, you can breathe freely and in the chest and lung area a "wonderfully free feeling" comes up (15min.17sec.). Both exercises, the diaphragmatic exercise and the stretching exercise for the chest area have a wonderful effect against discomfort on the thoracic spine (15min.28sec.).

Video 2: 2 sitting exercises for the thoracic spine

If it "burns" in the spine between the shoulder blades, then you can do exercises:

Thoracic spine video 2 exercise 1: Sit and stretch your spine backwards, first with closed arms
(1min.12sek.).

Thoracic spine video 2 exercise 1: In a sitting position, the spine is stretched backwards

Thoracic spine video 2 exercise 2a + 2b: In a sitting position, stretch the spine backwards with arms wide open
(1min.18sek.). The head can be "dropped" behind the back [the head looks at the ceiling for 2 minutes] [(1min.31sec.). If a second person is there, this person can stretch the arms additionally (1min.55sec.). Then come out slowly of the exercise (2min.7sec.). This exercise has stretched the chest area both in length and in width, and the feeling after the exercise is very good (2min.25sec.).

 

Thoracic spine video 2 exercise 2a: Sitting becomes the Spine stretched backwards until the head floats horizontally, and the arms are spread out - Exercise 2b: In a sitting position, the spine is stretched backwards until the head floats horizontally, and a second person can stretch the arms additionally a little so that there is even more streching force effect in the chest area
