(Liebscher-Bracht exercises)
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.

(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:

(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.

(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."

(12min.36sec.) Slightly tormented smile:
"A slightly tormented smile is
always the right expression in the
face" (9min.37sec.).

(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."

Big massage ball: For
the big massage ball you can also
use a bigger ball, polystyrene balls

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].

(2017 / translation 2019)
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 1: Using the small massage ball,
roll up the left side of the breastbone and
massage the pain points in circles
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.).

video 1 massage 1: Using the small massage ball,
roll up the right side of the breastbone and

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.).
Thoracic spine
video 1 massage 2: The back is unrolled from the
pelvis to the neck on the large massage roller
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.).

pelvis to the neck on the large massage roller
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

+ 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
