  Speaker 1: Ten out four Back to the basics and healthcare with
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Balance Life Chiropractic. We've got doctor Harley with us.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Hello, doctor Harley, Hey John, get.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: To talk about men's health this month.
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, we always think of June we have
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Father's Day, it's also Men's health Awareness months.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we ignore that kind of thing.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: We just walk it off, right.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So that's why I think it's important to talk
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: about men's health because we do tend to just kind of,
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: you know, man it out and.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Be like, it's fine, I'll deal with it later. But
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: later does come.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: It does.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: I was just thinking of there was a billboard that
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: went viral because it said something along the lines of
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: men are stubborn when it comes to healthcare, and then
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: somebody's prey painted no, we're not, and I was like,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: that's hilarious, because we are. We are very stubborn. And
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: there are numbers and numbers of people that I know
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: who have had major problems that they just they waited
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: a long long time before they finally got it. And sadly,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I have a friend who passed away last year because
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: he waited way too long before he went in to
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: find out what was wrong. So This is something that
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: was an eye open for me. This is something we
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: should all probably take a little more seriously.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Should we. Right. Unfortunately, sometimes it does take something like
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: that happening for people to really start thinking and caring
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: about their health ahead of time. And don't mean to
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: pick on men, but they do tend to be more
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: delaying in seeking care.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: So when we feel because like you know, you feel
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: things in your body, and when you feel some little
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: issue here or there, instead of putting it off and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: gun AD's probably not a big deal, you should probably
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: listen to your body, shouldn't you.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: It's so much easier to take care of a problem
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: when we deal with it as a mole hill versus
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: waiting for that mole hill to grow into a mountain.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So, what are some things that would be maybe
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a good place for us to start, because I know
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: when you think about the body, there's a whole lot
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to the body. But first thing I think of when
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I think of chiropractice, I think of our back.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: So would that be a good place to start, right?
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: You know, when you think of chiropraxing of back pain,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: low back pain more specific to men, for whatever reason,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: it tends to be men tend to have more of
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the low back pain and women tend to be more
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: on the net obviously.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You know, there's because guys are a pain in the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: neck and that's what we do to the women. Sadly, sorry, ladies,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it's very possible, man, I know, maybe that's not what
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: it is.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I mean we carry a lot of tension.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: You know, we sit a lot.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: They say sitting is the new smoking. So you know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: men don't really stretch as much either. We lose a
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: lot of flexibility as we get older, especially men lose
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: a lot more of it. So that doesn't help because
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: our joints are meant to be flexible and move a
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: lot easier. But as things start stiffening up as we
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: get older, we lose a lot of that flexibility and
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: can start leading to more tension and aches because things
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: aren't moving like they should.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: So one of the things that men should do is
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: stretch a little more.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Definitely, stretch more.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: You know, the younger the better because you know, as
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: you go from teenagers to in your twenties, you'll lose
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: a lot of flexibility. So if you keep up with
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: your stretching, you know you won't lose it as quickly
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: versus you know, when you get to be forty to
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: fifty and you haven't stretched maybe in twenty years, and
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: you're gonna have to start at ground zero. It's gonna
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: take some time to build some of that stretch and
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: flexibility back.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Is there a best way to start when it comes
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to let's just use an example. Let's say there's a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: guy that's, like, I don't know, fifty, and let's say
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: he's overweight and he hasn't stretched, and well, I haven't
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: stretched in a long time. So what would be a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: good place for me to start?
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: You know, I think back to if you were in
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: high school and played sports, some of the warm up
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: stretching that you did then is a good place to start.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: You know, maybe not going as intense, but even just
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: you know, moving your arms out, you know, raise them,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: ount try to touch your toes, even if you just
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: hang there, you don't need to actually touch your.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Touch my own toes. Yeah, I haven't done that in years.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: So I mean if you just like, you know, bend
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: over hag and you'll feel that stretched through your low
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: back and you can take a step out and then
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: you know, go a little bit wider stands, trying to
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: touch your toes, get a good stretch for that, leaning
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: over to one side. Yeah, just really working on trying
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: to stretch the legs out. Tight hamstrings can lead to
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: a lot of low back pains a lottimes. That can
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: be a problem for people that their hamstrings are just
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: really tight and that can lead to a lot of
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: their back pain.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: But just you got to start somewhere.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: See stretching that I do is like when I reach
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: across the table to grab something off Heidie's plate, you
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: grab a fry. That's only stretching. I get. So probably
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: should maybe work on a different type of stretching.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: You'll definitely add some more.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: All right, So standing up and like bending over and
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: touching your toes or like that, would that be good
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a good place to start.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I'deel like that's a good starter point.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: You can work from there and you just kind of
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: move with what feels comfortable or actually maybe a little uncomfortable.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: You want to, you know, go to feel a little
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: bit of stretch and you're like, oh, I can feel
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: that pole.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I didn't realize how bad I was at stretching because
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: like I don't really pay attention to that until we
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: were doing some yoga last year. Yeah, guys, I tried yoga.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I could really even say I tried.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I was in a room with people who were doing yoga,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and I watched them stretch and band and I'm like,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: how the heck are you doing all of that? And
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: then I realized how unflexible I am.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Yoga or inflexible, the beginner yoga class is a good
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: place to start. You might feel a little out of
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: the loop because.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: You know, some people are very flexible.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I should have tried to begin beginners beginner's yoga, because yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I was way behind. But if somebody listening is going,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you know, I probably need to get some get some
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: advice from doctor Harley, because I got I've done none
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: of this stuff. I should start doing something. What is
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the best way for them to connect with you, to
