Before Dr. Rivera became a Chiropractor he was an athlete with a full college football scholarship to UNR. The "slapping" is common between athletes and here it is simply used as cues to this patient who is an obvious athlete and can certainly handle it. Dr. Rivera does not use this with the hundreds of seniors, children, pregnant women and others he adjusts on a weekly basis!

***** Thank you for your nice note and I will post some more videos soon! I hope you find a good Chiropractor close to where you live - Best Health, Dr. Matt
Wow I remember this video coming out. I’ve been a chiropractic asmr addict for 6 years now. I’ve prob giving this video 5,000 if it’s views. I’m an OG ASMR chaser hahahaha
This Doc is fast and efficient. Not much show, straight to the point. I like that. Only thing to complain is the amount of slaps. C'mon doc, stop slaping the shit out of this guy after every single move.
That last adjustment to the thoracic area is my favorite adjustment! My doc did all these, and no other doc even came close. posture improvement, breathing improvement, etc.
dr matt..aplausos para usted....desde paraguay lo saludo!...hay muchos kiropracticos que no hacen bien el trabajo....yo soy masajista....mis respetos..excelente demostracion de trabajo..
I'm so happy I came across this video. I actually called Dr. Rivera's office at about 2:30 today hoping to be fit in for a drop-in visit later, but checked his website and found out that they were closed for lunch. After seeing this, with all the slapping and the aggressive, willy-nilly adjusting, I'll be looking for another chiropractor in the area instead. Thanks for posting this, Dr. Rivera. It's a great way to warn patients about what to expect with you!

Another awesome video Dr. Matt Rivera!! I love your work. I can relate to this so much as I have always been heavily involved in Bodybuilding and fitness since a child. Over the last three years or so I have experienced a huge increase in physical problems, headaches (surprise, surprise), suffering with limited neck mobility (left side predominantly restricted), overactive traps, left shoulder impingement, winged scapula, my back surprisingly did not give me huge problems, although was tighter and flared up when at the gym, tight gluts, sciatic in both legs on and off but mainly in my left which would go down my leg and into my calve. Also my left leg is approximately one inch shorter than my right. Mentally I noticed reduced energy levels, more tiredness, I generally felt aggravated as my body could not sit in its natural alignment and I would be constantly trying to readjust. So over the years I have visited Physiotherapists/Massage therapists/Acupuncture and even talked to my local visited Doctor. I never used a Chiro as unfortunately I discovered so much negativity surrounding the practice compared to the others mentioned above, I heard comments like, no scientific evidence, its flawed and the most popular one I hear, "The Chiro made my back worse". Let’s be honest there is good and bad in all walks in life! From my experience Physio's have helped to some degree, all though my last two physios are more interested in walking around the room looking interested and providing me with rotational exercises and stretches. I would follow these and revisit to be again given the same advice! As for Acupuncture the only single benefit I noticed was a much deeper sleep for the first night or two. And sport massages help to a degree. But ultimately am I right in saying if the human’s spinal column and joints are not in alignment the problems will always be present? Hence why high volumes of stretching never benefited and there are deeper underlying problems. Approximately four weeks ago I finally decided to man up, be brave and make the first scary step in visiting my local family Chiropractor clinic. I have been receiving one to two sessions a week with my Chiropractor Dr. Hannah Sedgman and I have to say the results have been INCREDIBLE! From the very first session I noticed a dramatic change in my body. My body still tries go back to its old position as this is what it remembers from all the years my spine has been sat in this unnatural spinal position. So we are working on my body remembering the new alignment which takes time, which most people don't have, most expect a one off miracle session. My headaches have been reduced, amazing mobility in my neck it feels lighter, no shoulder impingement, no more aggravated traps, no back pain or stiffness, even my recent fractured wrist has recovered so much faster, greater mobility in my hips, amazing energy levels, my training in the gym is at its best it has EVER been (explosive strength like never experienced before, great muscular pumps), improved sleep and generally happier. I am just so grateful that someone can finally help with my problems that were really starting to affect my quality of life. As I explained earlier I've always had a huge passion for bodybuilding and very health conscious, since my great experience with my Chiro I have now been inspired to attend a five year course at CQ University of Australia so I can help people out there that suffer with pain and discomfort and also educate people that a Chiropractor is safe and most importantly WORKS. Kind Regards, I look forward to a shorter reply! Karl
I can understand that it feels very nice to have this done but what's with the diagnosis? Holding up his legs at different heights apparently shows that his leg is out of position?
I probably should have specified static stretching in my statement about its lack of effectiveness in injury prevention. Dynamic stretches, as you were referring to, are a different animal. While I still don't feel that they necessarily prevent injury from the standpoint of increasing flexibility, they serve as a much more suitable warmup than static stretches do since they do a much better job of increasing blood flow and core temperature.
I'm guessing the bodybuilder wasn't in any pain but felt something was wrong and went to see the chiropractor.The chiropractor did a quick assessment of his patient and then did a standard procedure.X-rays are not needed for basic adjustments.
That wasn't the only problem I had with it though. I mean considering that chiropractics claim that the adjustments are very precise etc. How in this video does he decide what specifically needs doing to his arms, fingers and the rest of his body etc.?
these guys are crazy good i have bad back problems and they suck when they crack but after it feels amazing... and ya most of all chiropractors give u that slap to do the next move ive had 3 and all did that
there are general manoveurs and checks that are used to prevent injuries, and to maintain neuro-spinal health. Another thing is to deal with a real problem in the making and not preventing it, in that case a deep and specific examination is necessary, x-ray included, way before proceeding with the specific adjustment. This video is not the best example about the last thing I saw. You can watch the chiroexcellence channel on youtubbe to see a specific work, done on a specific problem.
i have an issue with my knee. For years my left knee has been making popping noises everytime i bend it like a squat. it dosent hurt but it feels uncomfortable and can swollen sometimes. is it something for a chiropractor to take care of or?
Watch out for anyone, in particular a Chiropractor, who wears a white lab coat. The leg length stuff is easily manipulated (meaning bullshited) and the non-specific adjustments are probably his 'routine' on everyone. Yeah, yeah, your doing beautiful, Next!
I think that encouraging "constantly keeping the hamstrings stretched," etc., is just a band-aid solution to any irritation that may be caused by apparent tightness. Stretching doesn't prevent injury. Almost every incidence I've seen of pain from a range-of-motion limitation shows tightness as a symptom. NOT the cause. So if we keep our bodies strong and moving in a controlled, aligned manner, stretching won't be necessary. It's also a myth that muscularity reduces flexibility.
ça me fait penser à moi qd je vais voir mon chiropracteur, mais celui là est très direct un peu rustre et brusque dans ses gestes, mais qui sont très professionnel !! bravo mec ....
Only few nervous tissue and fibers transports the pain sensation. I't not only about the pain. Althought you don0t feel it you know something is going on there that must be changed. Probablt if you worked out really hard it would cause you a lesion in some time, etc. Have a nice day
That's a problem related in in hip imbalance or contant fiber spasm in the muscle due to Nervous system not working properly. Get a good chiro and say good bye to the nuisance. Or go to medical doctor take some muscle relaxation cream to pour everyday in your muscles, and finally get into surgery to have even more serious problems in the knee. You choose.
No, seriously. Listen carefully to 2:09 through 2:16. It sounds like he's saying, "Good. Good. F#%kin' good. Good." Right at 2:13 is where he drops the F-Bomb.
Bodybuilders aren't in the NFL, because they choose to emphasize entirely different areas of their training. Muscularity IN ITSELF does not necessarily cause inflexibility. If the muscles and joints are repeatedly required to perform throughout a particular range of motion, they will acquire that range (assuming the training is done sensibly and the person has not reached his/her genetic potential). Bodybuilders don't necessarily need a lot of flexibility, so they don't train for it.
If your measuring length of the leg and you raise the legs at the knee, doesn't that take the hips and thigh out of the equation? Also if one is longer than the other doesn't that mean the difference is due to a difference in length of the shins?
He adjusted his hands and fingers... I do that about 5 times a day as a bad habit. High velocity manipulations can be useful, but most chiros are serious quacks!
cool vid, I remember seeing a film where lou ferrigno went to get some adjustments and the guy had to work his butt off because the guys was 6'5'' 300lbs with very little fat and they said they had a very hard time just reading the x-rays, had to triple the xrays lol

+Dr. Matt Rivera I love this guy. Reminds me of my old football coach. Wish he was close by for me to get an adjustment.
Stretch Hens Johnson out.
Dr. Matt Rivera will he slap my ass?

@@thatoneguy94512 thats about right 😂
I like this chiropractor. He's great!
Austin Adams ok
OG chiro vid
This hasn’t popped into my feed in ages
Many people don't realize that Chiropractors are indeed doctors... Doctor of Chiropractic. Well done, thanks for posting.
You can also get a Doctorate in Art History. It doesn't mean you can treat/cure people.
Dear, "ProMasterSolutions" Thank you for your comment, we really appreciate it!
Doctor just means teacher/instructor in latin.
I particularly like the demonstration. This is great Chiropractor so far. I found this video really informative.
why do i find these videos so relaxing :/
Same here.. :D
ASMR
my favorite ASMR video. Anyone else watching this having ASMR in mind?
It’s been my favorite ASMR for about 5 years now.
I do
I've been watching this video for about 3 years I believe and it always work 😪
I've seen it like 200 times
I have been watching this video for more than ten years.
this doc is on fire. dealing with a more difficult patient more quickly than most other doctors deal with an easy one
I've always wanted to slap big guys around like it was nothing.
I'm going to become a chiropractor!
Dr. Rivera should post more videos. This one is great!!!!!
Thank you Judith - we appreciate your nice comment!
Ok
this doctor looks awesome. i am going to make an appointment soon!
I love that synovial fluid being released in between the joints. Love that sound
That bodybuilder wears more jewelry than an Egyptian Pharaoh.
This is probably my favorite video on youtube. Post some more Dr. Rivera!
U need to get out more
@@Khaos969 you couldn't rent a timeshare in my world lil buddy
This Doc is fast and efficient. Not much show, straight to the point. I like that. Only thing to complain is the amount of slaps. C'mon doc, stop slaping the shit out of this guy after every single move.
That last adjustment to the thoracic area is my favorite adjustment! My doc did all these, and no other doc even came close. posture improvement, breathing improvement, etc.
Doctor: “ It’s been a while since you been to the beach huh”
Kid “I was there 4th of July”
Excellent video!!! I don't understand all of the ignorant comments. Chiropractors clearly bring a lot of relief to many people - myself included!!!
Mr Chiropractor made this look easy,which only comes with HUGE experience and OUCH!
dr matt..aplausos para usted....desde paraguay lo saludo!...hay muchos kiropracticos que no hacen bien el trabajo....yo soy masajista....mis respetos..excelente demostracion de trabajo..

The doc seems stronger than the bodybuilder 😳
This was beautiful to behold.
No nonsense and to the point. Solid practitioner.
Dr. Matt Rivera does this like a boss.
Wait a minute! This is Nick Riviera from The Simpsons!
Need a new video. Where's matt rivera at?
If anyone why he kept smaking him it's test his reflexes. Male doctors do it to women too.
this made my mirror neurons feel great
Phenomenal work Dr. Matt!!! Well done!!!
i like this doc seems like he knows his stuff.
I can understand that it feels very nice to have this done but what's with the diagnosis? Holding up his legs at different heights apparently shows that his leg is out of position?
Lol looks like Brock Lesnar.
Mixed with the chick from die antwoord

i love how he takes a nap while stretching his neck
i think dr. matt was a former baseball player... he's a slapper
question: the patients seem to mourning quite a bit, is that due to pain or what?
Pinched nerved referring pain proximally instead of distally?
That wasn't the only problem I had with it though. I mean considering that chiropractics claim that the adjustments are very precise etc. How in this video does he decide what specifically needs doing to his arms, fingers and the rest of his body etc.?
What does rhe chiropractor say at 1:59? that the tight hamstrings have a negative effect on the calf muscle and achilles?
these guys are crazy good i have bad back problems and they suck when they crack but after it feels amazing... and ya most of all chiropractors give u that slap to do the next move ive had 3 and all did that
I like this video
Thank you!
Im curious how challenging to do a chiropractic with a body building champion. I like what he's doing, so amazing!
The SI joint adjustment and leg traction had me dying lol.
there are general manoveurs and checks that are used to prevent injuries, and to maintain neuro-spinal health.
Another thing is to deal with a real problem in the making and not preventing it, in that case a deep and specific examination is necessary, x-ray included, way before proceeding with the specific adjustment.

i have an issue with my knee. For years my left knee has been making popping noises everytime i bend it like a squat. it dosent hurt but it feels uncomfortable and can swollen sometimes. is it something for a chiropractor to take care of or?
This guy has great flexibility for someone so muscled up.
this guy is a mobile jewelry shop
That's the most Swedish "Okay" I've ever heard.
Hi everybody, its Dr Rivera !
This guy is awesome. Might have to fly out to see this guy.
what is he trying to do with the legs at 1:17?
i will hook up a nice chiro to work it out, but i guess i should be glad that it isnt hurtin when i bend it, seems like a good sign or am i wrong?
Watch out for anyone, in particular a Chiropractor, who wears a white lab coat. The leg length stuff is easily manipulated (meaning bullshited) and the non-specific adjustments are probably his 'routine' on everyone. Yeah, yeah, your doing beautiful, Next!
3:29 grand disappointment
I love this doc.
Can a chiropractor apply physiotherapy and massage?
man would love going to this chiropractor on a weekly basis after a brutal leg workout haha :)

What I would give to have a shoulder adjustment from you my shoulders are always in pain. Great video keep them coming.
"Been a while since you've been to the beach, huh?"
There a lot to do with a body building champion. A chiropractor have lots of work to do. Great demo!
i dont know why i watched this but i fucking loved it
too bad you dont live here in NC! good work doc!
Only few nervous tissue and fibers transports the pain sensation. I't not only about the pain. Althought you don0t feel it you know something is going on there that must be changed. Probablt if you worked out really hard it would cause you a lesion in some time, etc.
Have a nice day
Come on gents. The difference was from muscle contractions and frezy tendons. It is real and simple to understands.
Hey doc... How do you know if you need an adjustment?
If you are in pain or discomfort or if your body is not functioning normal
Chiropractic adjustment is definitely a contact sport.
Well I like to say that as a powerlifter chiropractic adjustments do work. Don't knock it until you try it.
This was a good vid. Would be nice to see more uploads.
That's a problem related in in hip imbalance or contant fiber spasm in the muscle due to Nervous system not working properly. Get a good chiro and say good bye to the nuisance.

thumbs up for almost heroes reference.
No, seriously. Listen carefully to 2:09 through 2:16. It sounds like he's saying, "Good. Good. F#%kin' good. Good." Right at 2:13 is where he drops the F-Bomb.
It's called double crush syndrome...A pinch in a nerve in the elbow or wrist can cause a problem back to the neck...
He is not a doctor. They don't go to real uni. or college.
That's lame
It's pseudoscience....placebo effect at best.
You must be the guy who knows the requirements for chiropractors to practice in all 50 states. I've been looking for you...
if you like snake oil go ahead.
William Cholakian Go ahead and look for you? I'm confused.
What do you base that on?
How so ?

indeed. the Dr should say 'feet out over there'
4:13 reminds me of the ''okay :('' meme
This looked great
No problem, keep up the chiropractic work!
El cahapos day job.
The way he slaps him each time makes this seem like a training regimen.
Watched this over 1000 times, let me take a visit there god damn my backs probably fucked
thi best ,great doctor
The movement the Dr. made from 2:36 to 2:39 is kinda disturbing even if it is with purpose...from the angle we see it from......just....odd.
Moral of the story: Stretch your muscles after workouts
This guy is ace.............Nice
This and the trashman adjustme t was what fot me into this adiction
