i wanted to create this short little video on the  relationship between your mid-back and your stress  

level there is a connection there’s something  called the sympathetic nervous system and the  

sympathetic nervous system is the flight or fight  mechanism and when that’s activated you go through  

stress and the question is where is it located in  your body it’s located in your middle back from t1  

to t12 you have 12 vertebrae in that area and  along the side of the spine you have these little  

nerves and that’s what your sympathetic nervous  system is the other location of the flight or  

flight mechanism is inside your adrenals okay  that’s for another video i just want to talk  

about the mid-back because if you have stiffness  and pain in your middle back or a muscle spasm  

that’s going to keep you in a bit of stress mode  and if you’re in stress mode that has the ability  

to keep your back stiff and in pain also if you’re  eating the wrong foods your digestive system  

can can actually go into a spasm like bloating and  cause back pain as well and actually keep you in  

stress mode this could affect your sleep it can  keep you from relaxing so there are three things  

that i’m going to recommend to help you with  stress that really work number one going to  

a chiropractor and getting adjustment in your  mid-back and in fact when i was in ninth grade  

i remember my mother taking me to the chiropractor  i had no idea what they did i laid on the table he  

gave me this adjustment it was literally like  a religious experience it was incredible i felt  

amazing relief i felt instant stress relief and  i stood up and i said do you like what you do and  

he goes yeah i go i want to do this so that’s  when i actually decided to be a chiropractor  

so if you’ve never had an adjustment from a  chiropractor find a good one get an adjustment  

in your mid-back you’ll see what i’m talking about  number two you can get a massage in your mid-back  

number three you can do very specific stretches  to your middle back there’s a really good one  

i’m gonna put a link down below that involves  stretching the mid-back up and down it’s called  

cats and dogs using the egoscue method very simple  but you’ll find out after doing this exercise  

a huge relief in stress and there’s another  technique that i developed using my massage tool  

that you can actually place this tool in your back  on a chair and slowly push it down and stretch  

over the device to actually release your  stress you can also do this lying down but  

anyway i wanted to create this short video on the  relationship between your mid-back and your stress  

so if you’re having problem sleeping or your  stress definitely try one of these three  

techniques and see if it can help you hey before  you go if you’re benefiting from any of my content  

i would love to hear about your success  story please share it in the link down below
