00:11So this season, we have a physical therapist from the Oracle.
00:16So thank you so much for being there for us.
00:21And actually, it's so important that we have a physical therapist on call.
00:26Because sometimes, we don't expect that there may be injury or may...
00:33Hopefully, it doesn't happen like that.
00:35But just to be safe, just to be sure that there are people who can help us for that.
00:45You can't say that...
00:47For example, right now, your body doesn't hurt.
00:49But the next day, it will hurt.
00:50So now, we have a physical therapist after every run, after every show.
00:55So we can go to them to...
00:58You know, we can go to cool down,
01:00and do some...
01:02We can do it.
01:03We can do it.
01:04We can do it.
01:06We can do it.
01:07We can do it.
01:08What's it they're doing?
01:09They needle, they dry up,
01:11so that's how we can recover our body quickly.
01:14Hi!
01:15I'm Angel Mendoza, physical therapist from the Oracle Physical Rehabilitation.
01:19So what we do here, the Stars on the Floor, is we mostly manage the dance stars.
01:25So when we come...
01:26When they come to us, we mostly help them warm up, cool down, and make sure that their bodies are
01:33well activated,
01:34so that they are able to dance properly during the whole rehearsals and during the whole show.
01:39And of course, as artists, as dancers,
01:42we really need our bodies and our health.
01:47So that's very important.
01:48So thank you so much.
01:49Is there any injuries for you?
01:52Of course.
01:53A lot of injuries.
01:54Who has the most bad injuries?
01:55Actually, what we've heard is that there's a lot of injuries in the final.
01:59Oh, yeah.
02:00Patrick.
02:01Patrick.
02:02Because it was a bit extreme,
02:05their final.
02:06Is it cold?
02:07No, the hamstring.
02:08Ah, sure.
02:09Because they have a set that's so high,
02:12where they're climbing.
02:13And the climb is like that.
02:15It's like that.
02:15So it's like that.
02:16And then I think,
02:17na-overextend yung hamstring niya.
02:20When, kapag pupunta po sila,
02:21it's either before, during, and after.
02:23Pag pupunta sila before,
02:25yun yung meron ng existing na parang very sore yung muscles nila.
02:30So, we make sure na,
02:31we try to alleviate yung pain nila
02:33through dry cupping, dry release,
02:36electrotherapy.
02:38So, and then mag-stretching kami after,
02:40then make sure activated yung muscles,
02:42so ready sila pumunta.
02:44So, kapag during naman,
02:45yun yung, kapag in-betweens,
02:47feel nila parang may na-pull silang muscles.
02:50So, mostly we do is activate yung muscles,
02:52kasi since na-pull,
02:53gusto natin ibalik ulit yung muscles together.
02:55So, less pain yung feeling nila while dancing.
02:58Tapos usually, pag after naman na ng dancing,
03:01mostly marami sila,
03:02gusto nila magpa-cool down din maayos
03:04to prevent further injury pa.
03:06Ikaw, Jiro?
03:07For me,
03:09it's very important talaga
03:11kasi nung nag-dance,
03:14nag-break kami ni Kuya
03:17Kuya Paul,
03:18nung time na yun,
03:19nagkabukol ako sa likod
03:20and sila yung nag-ano sa akin,
03:22sila yung nag-alaga sa akin,
03:24sila yung nagsabi sa akin
03:25kung anong dapat kong gawin.
03:27Tapos,
03:28Nag-meds ka pa?
03:29Nag-meds pa ako,
03:30because nalaman na rin namin na
03:32I have scoliosis daw.
03:34So, sabi ko,
03:35Oo.
03:36Tapos ayun,
03:36tinuruan nila ako ng mga ano,
03:38tinuruan nila ako ng mga exercises
03:40para maiwasa yung,
03:42kasi yung scoliosis ko daw,
03:43ano pa,
03:44pagpunta pa lang doon,
03:45mild pa lang.
03:47Sabi nila,
03:47kaya pang agapan yan,
03:48kaya mag-exercise,
03:50mag-exercise,
03:51ah,
03:51basta yun,
03:52mag,
03:53sabi niya,
03:54tuwing umaga.
03:56Usually po kasi,
03:57with dancers,
03:58like not a lot of dancers
03:59know how to properly activate
04:01or cool down their bodies properly.
04:03So, with therapy,
04:04we teach them
04:05how to activate,
04:07we guide them,
04:07and we also teach them
04:08how to cool down,
04:09especially yung muscles
04:10na usually kinakalimutan lang nila.
04:12Madalas po kasi,
04:13if dancers,
04:14siyempre pagod na,
04:15mahaba ang taping,
04:16mahaba ang rehearsal.
04:18So, madalas sa kanila,
04:19uwi na lang,
04:19tapos the next day,
04:20reklamo sila,
04:20ah, sobrang sakit ng ganyan.
04:22So, yun yung,
04:23parang tinuturo namin,
04:24need kailangan mag-cool down,
04:25maayos,
04:26need mag-activate na maayos
04:27para, if meron silang injury
04:29na nilapit sa amin,
04:30hindi na maulit yung injury na yun.
04:32And, parang,
04:32like gradual,
04:34matutulungan namin sila
04:35recover,
04:36to be able to recover
04:37from their existing
04:38or new injuries.
04:39Parang, one example po
04:40is yung kay Seruroco.
04:42Like, meron siyang recurrent back pain.
04:44So, madami po kasi silang lifts,
04:47especially with Seruroco,
04:48and very active.
04:49So, parang tendency po
04:50is nag-overload yung muscles.
04:52So, nagkakaroon ng sobrang daming tightness.
04:54So, we help relieve yung muscles
04:56na nag-spasm sa back niya.
04:59And then, we help activate yung
05:01surrounding muscles,
05:02supporting muscles
05:03para less yung load
05:04na dinadala yung sa back niya.
05:07Ako una sa room,
