00:00You know, Susan and Migs, a lot of us get attached to plants when we're in a difficult situation.
00:06You know, sometimes, when there's no other choice, it happens.
00:12Do you want a plant?
00:14What kind of plant is that, Susan?
00:17What is that?
00:18It's like a pet.
00:19It's okay if it's not close to me, right?
00:21It's a pet in the kitchen or just to chill.
00:23Because the plant that we're going to plant next
00:26can help when someone is suffering from an illness.
00:28A plant?
00:29Yes, let's take a look.
00:30That's a story that Mark Salazar told.
00:36It's long
00:38and sharp.
00:40But it shouldn't be a threat.
00:42Because this plant is said to help heal different emotions.
00:52This is called Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization
00:56or more commonly known as Hyperblading Therapy
00:59where a person's muscles are stretched.
01:03It releases tight muscles.
01:05Our target is athletes and those who have frozen shoulders.
01:11Although it looks scary at first glance,
01:13it has side effects on our body.
01:16It improves flexibility and mobility and increases blood circulation.
01:21Your muscle recovery will be faster.
01:24It also doesn't get injured like other plants.
01:27It's not deadly because it's not sharp.
01:30It's like a machinist type of blade.
01:32It's not totally a blade that is used for sharpening.
01:36Richard Mabilangan has been doing this for more than a year.
01:40He is a certified blade therapist
01:42for various athletes and sports enthusiasts.
01:45Their problem is more on legs
01:47because their hamstrings are tight
01:49and their calves are always bumping
01:51because they run and jump.
01:53Richard's method of Hyperblading Therapy is home service.
01:57Today, his patient is a 27-year-old Spartan Racer named Vianca.
02:03Right now, I feel back pain, shoulder pain,
02:08and some pain in my legs.
02:10Before the patient undergoes Hyperblading Therapy,
02:14it's important to go through a physical assessment.
02:17We check the form and posture of the client,
02:20how we treat the client,
02:22which part of the muscle is tight,
02:24and what we need to release to the client's body.
02:26According to licensed physical therapist, Anna Rica C,
02:30Hyperblading Therapy is an alternative medicine.
02:34It's under the Philippine Physical Therapy Association or PPTA.
02:39All of the updated studies
02:41or the code of ethics that we follow
02:43comes from the Philippine Physical Therapy Association.
02:48For Hyperblading, we don't need to prescribe a medicine or an operation.
02:51It's more on assisting the muscles that are tight
02:54to increase the movement of the patient,
02:56increase the blood flow,
02:58and heal the muscles.
03:00However, Hyperblading is not recommended for all patients.
03:04It's still according to the medical condition of the patient.
03:07If the patient has uncontrolled hypertension,
03:10or if the patient has an infection,
03:12or an open wound,
03:14or if the patient is hypersensitive,
03:16we do not recommend Hyperblading.
03:18Blade Therapy is worth Php 1,200 to Php 2,000 per session.
03:23It takes an hour
03:25before the effect is felt on our body.
03:27My back feels better,
03:30my shoulders are moving more,
03:32and I'm more flexible.
03:34In many popular methods
03:36to alleviate the pain of the body,
03:38always remember not to touch the skin
03:42to quickly remove it.
03:44Always ensure safety
03:46so that it is not put at risk.
03:48I am Mark Salazar.
03:50That is the story you should know.
