olympic prep from aksel svindal on Vimeo.

Skiing can be very hard on your body. So after a rough day on the mountain it's good to go see the physio and get everything lined up again. I remember I thought it was very uncomfortable at first, but once you get used to it and you know it's good for you it feels good. Take a look at the video and see what you think. Turn up the sound...

Huff.. behandling fra MT og kirporaktor kan umulig være bra for deg i det lange løp? De løser jo bare problemet midlertidig. Sånt sliter nok på kroppen etterhvert! Du burde finne en alternativ behandlingsmetode som er mer permanent!

probably good for your back - best part is of course the fact that you're only wearing boxers.

Til petter: ingen tvil om at trond er kjempeflink! Men i ett medisinsk team bør man bruke det beste fra alle behandlere og ett 2års deltidstudium erstatter ikke 6,5år kiropraktorutdanning. Jeg jobber selv i ett tverrfaglig miljø og setter stor pris på å jobbe i team som på MUMA senteret vårt og jeg henviser så godt som alle mine pasienter til behandling med trykkbølge, kinesiotape, ims, fysio-benkbehandling, nsaids, injeksjoner, Osteopati, slynge/mensendieck trening osv. Når jeg ser på behandlngen gjort på denne videoen er dette ikke en tilfredstillende Kiropraktor-manipulasjon i mine øyne og jeg mener derfor at våre OL atleter burde få det beste tilbudet gjennom de beste behandlere i hvert fagfelt. Jeg har fordypning i kinesiotape,massasje, ims og Pilates.. Men bruker fortsatt akupunktører, fysioer og massører i teamet mitt fordi jeg selv vil ha behandling av de beste.. Sorry hvis noen ble provosert, bare føler at vi kan bidra sammen med andre ekselente behandlere i OL teamet.

Til Tor Smedby (som er kiropraktor)
Hvorfor ta med "ekte Kiropraktor" som har så begrenset behandligstilbud når manuellterapeut Trond Reginiussen fikser alt!! Hva ville du f.ekf. gjort med kneet til Kjetil Andre Aamodt da han skadet det alvorlig i utforen sist! Kom tilbake og tok gull i Super-G med Tronds fantastikse innsats som manuellterapeut. Husk at det er sterkt begrenset med akkrediteringer til OL! Ikke nok til "ekte" kiropraktorer!

you are very, very, veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery sexy!!!!!

Skjønner ikke hvorfor dere ikke har med ekte Kiropraktorer i det medisinske teamet...

Thats not so bad. the guy bending svindal is Trond Reginiussen.. A very skillet fysio..

Is it a chiropractor?

Håper litt manuellterapi gjør deg bevegelig og fin i leddene og muskulaturen! Vi trenger deg i fin form i løypa - lykke til i OL!

Hello! That sounds just NASTY! When that sound from your neck comes I feel like gaging! Aksel DU RULER!!!! LYKKE TIL!!!!
09. Feb 16:49 - Christin said:
*hehe* this whole flight story amuses me a lot. Vikings are real men!
(btw: I could never sleep during flights. I couldn't get myself comfortable enough to fall asleep.)
The whole situation was for sure not really funny, but isn't that a little bit too much reaction to this?
But the poor guys have to remember that the only way to get back to Sweden is flying. *hehe* (I know it's mean, but I can't help it)

Re Rabbits: As long as I haven't touched the poor animal before, I don't have any doubts to eat it. The one ear rabbit is still alive and enjoys his life when everyone else is ready for the pot! :-D

08. Feb 21:45 -
Girardelli is a nice, smart guy and he was an excellent skiracer, but in some points, he should zip it. Aksel is good enough to beat them all!
08. Feb 21:35 - angyal said:
SO no reason to laugh at the Swedes. ^^
Personally I think that bringing a psychologist is not bad.
They can mentally prepare the athletes for the races. If you're not on top mentally, your body can be as fit as it can be without getting good results.
08. Feb 21:15 - A. said:
@Mimia, ok, thanks, good to get things clear;-)

08. Feb 20:59 - Mimia (adding the part that kind of got lost) said:
...funny that they of all people make such a statement (obviously this isn't a literal translation and the "of all people" part definitely comes from me, but I think this will nevertheless help to understand)
08. Feb 20:57 - Mimia said:
The Twitter thing:

It's about the Swedes saying that only losers need psychologists (the Norwegian team takes a couple of psychologists over to Vancouver which led to some Swedish athletes making that loser-statement) and then Aksel reminds of the before mentioned trauma-drama the Swedish cross country skiers made out of that flight with the turbulences and says that it's
08. Feb 20:09 - angyal said:
The Swedish team needs psychologists to get rid of their flight trauma? lol!

ANd I can't eat rabbit either. My uncle picked my up fom school once and there was a naked (as in without fur) rabbit in the back seat he wanted to cook that evening. And I had to sit next to the poor dead rabbit for the whole f*cking drive. Well, I guess that explains why I don't eat it^^

Right now I would give much to have a Canadian friend who could record it for me. But I had to find out that I only know people in the US. Why don't I know a Canadian? The countries not exactly little, so there are many people I could get to know, right?

And now I'm off watching the trailer. I didn't even bother trying because I had assumed that it wouldn't work anyway.
08. Feb 20:04 - A. said:
please, someone translate the twitter thing, I do not believe in online translators anymore LOL Do I get it well that the Swedish people have a psychologist to help them after the trauma of The Flight During Which One Of The Vikings Slept? oh my!!!

About Canadian TV and Miracle Body - well, they are nice enough, so I am able to see the trailer even being outside of Canada, so maybe they do have online version of it?

Re Rabbits Stories: LOL rabbit with only one ear? Muscular Maverick with DEEP rabbit-boy voice? awesome, guys!

(personally, I cannot imagine eating a rabbit. Ok, eating maybe, if I don't know what I am eating, because I basically like everything. Ok, I would never ever eat a snake, I would be horrified by nightmares for the rest of my life, I even get shivers thinking about it. But preparing a rabbit to eat would be beyond my abilities, fur no fur, doesn't matter. I even have problems with preparing the chicken if the bones are still there!)
08. Feb 19:52 - Vaffel said:
Tror ikke svenskene hadde hatt vondt av å ta med seg et par psykologer. Da kunne de bli kvitt alle traumene sine ;) Hvis de får traumer av turbulens er det ikke godt å vite hva ellers de får traumer av...(kanskje for å tape mot Norge?)
08. Feb 18:41 - Tony said:
@Twitter: Måtte virkelig svenskene oppleve turbulens på en flytur for å skjønne at sjelen også kan rammes av traumer? Forhåpentligvis er de nå klar over at det er minst like viktig å ta vare på hodet som kroppen :)

Marc Girardelli analysiert und berichtet über Olympia für heute:
" Aksel Lund Svindal ist in Super- G und Abfahrt mein Geheimfavorit. Problem: Er ist nach einigen Verletzungen körperlich nicht voll auf der Höhe. Und wer heute nicht die Kraft hat, das Material in den Griff zu bekommen, hat keine Chance."

*arg* they definitely need to show that also here! Would really love to see that!

That rabbit-thing is really cut! My aunt also has rabbits, but there are only for eating-purpose. But they kept one rabbit, because he only has one ear!
Damn, now I got a "ohrwurm" ... highway to the danger zone...
08. Feb 16:41 - SweetGirl said:
Oh i love this sound! I don´t like it when my physio is doing this to my neck but it´s the best you can have. And i love to do it to my patients... Yes Physios are a bit sadistic - they love to give pain - HAHAHA!!! :-)))) And you need a bit of pain to heal the pain! But a good massage is always nice as well!
Hope you feel fixed for the race on saturday?
08. Feb 15:56 - Switzerland said:
@A.
Yes so you can see i'm a happy girl... 20 singing Rabbits in my garden ;-). So i really can forget all my troubles from work! But Maverick has a DEEP voice, because he's a "Rabbit-Boy" and he's also not really little, ca. 3.5 kg. But not fat, muscular... HAHA
08. Feb 15:54 - luna said:
oh fu**....i prefer to watch the video without sound...:-)
08. Feb 15:51 - Muckl said:
Ähm, yeah, mmh, well. Nice to watch (!) the prep. for the Olympics but Ouch! No way, I dont like the sound.

About rabbits: when I first visited my friends place I was astonished about the amount of bunnies they had-really cute. But you know, they told me that they are gonna eat them in a few weeks :/

@angyal: juhu, finally I could watch Breaking the Ice too and the car part was quite difficult to understand *g* (I am not familiar with the language). But yesss, who cares *LOL*. The balloon thingie was cool; a tad weird that it never worked before ^^.

@christiane: at least: no bluish/greenish coloured pants (even if the movie is in black and white). I am just wondering that the logo is not taped over, hehe.

btw: I could offer the sounds of lumbar vertebrae (3 to 5).

@Animabanana: oh, sweet lord, unique persona, this friend of yours;-) Maybe his super-hero-pilot job took so much from him emotionally that he needed to compensate it with something cuddly... The more serious job, the cutest must be something that you look at afterwards so you stay somehow balanced....;-)
08. Feb 15:14 - Animabanana said:
Nei rabbits. I have a strange story for you: One of my former friends, a real strange super-hero-pilot with no home and nowhere to stay, I guess a guy with too much need of tender loving care, had a rabbit-mania. Every sweet female person he liked was his *little rabbit* and he had a collection of stuffed animals and a real rabbit. That poor thing, he cuddeled it almost to death, but neclected the basis needs: clocklike he forgot to feed it - thankfully there was another person who did, but in the end it died - bit sad story.
That was incredibly scary!

Aksel, have you got a cuddle pet? Hope of course not, but If ja, which one and what is the name of it? ;-)
08. Feb 15:14 - A. said:
I have no idea why, but when you try to imagine yourself a little rabbit moving his little head to the music and singing Danger Zone in his high rabbit little voice, everything around becomes more bearable;-)

sweeeet...!!!

@Slovenian girl
There is a sweet pic from "Maverick the rabbit" on the web. But at the moment sadly i can't tell you where you can find this pic... Because his looks must be Top Secret until after the games, you know.... ;-) And yes, now every morning he wake up with the Song "Danger Zone", so he'll proper severe for his job haha!
@Christiane
Cool spy sunglasses ? But of course, he's full apparelled!!! Sorry, habe nicht Deinen ganzen Kommentar verstanden, bin halt ein bisschen ein Dööffi ;-)

PS- An alle Tierschutzorganisationen:
Das ist alles nur ein Scherz!! Selbstverständlich werden keine Hasen mit Physio bearbeitet, keine Sonnenbrillen, werden nicht nach Canada geflogen und mit dem Fallschirm ausgesetzt. Es gibt auch keine Gehirnwäsche und kein Wecken mit "Danger Zone"!!! Alles nur Spass!!! Aber Maverick heisst er wirklich...
08. Feb 13:27 - angyal said:
Just watched Aksel's Breaking the ice. Unfortunately they didn't dub the car part and as my Norwegian is nonexistant I didn't understand a word, but who cares if you can look at such a nice car (and Aksel of course^^).
I had completely forgotten about the balloon thing, though, and I had to laugh again.
08. Feb 13:24 - Apricot said:
I remember the first time an osteopath did that to my neck, I was nearly sick!! It's not the feeling so much as the sound echoing throughout your head...!!! But yes, it does feel good afterwards!! Best of luck over the next couple of weeks, stay healthy!!

oh my god!!!! can you ship this guy over to me???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ( i m not very keen on the head cracking thingy...)

Ah, i guess the video is in black in white so we cant moan about the colour of d underwear....

@switzerland - you have to prepare Maverick for the serious life of a spy's every day stress. He mustnt get sick when driving in the spy - **** ( not allowed naming sponsoring car logos....) with me you know!!!
I guess it is better not to try the Olympic preparation on him, you d want to try and do the head thingy him and end up having his little tiny weee toes stuck up in his left ear or somethin....
And have you got cool spy sunglasses for him???


got to go, stressful day today. oh my god - i have a job. and i m hungry.
08. Feb 12:41 - CamE said:
Great vid! :) Thank heaven for good MTs!!
@Mimia: I can do that too. I agree it comes with a prize.. But it sure feels good afterwards!!
08. Feb 12:26 - Slovenian girl said:
@Switzerland: Hehe... I really like the name Maverick! :-) hope he's as fearless as that Maverick and that he's "Gonna take us Right into the Danger Zone" of games! :D

Re Twitter: That must have been great to be in a Sportsbar! If that's not preparation I don't know.


Can I just mention that it is not pretty good to watch this vid on work?! Takes away all my focus on work! Damn! *gg*
08. Feb 10:43 - Switzerland said:
@Christiane & A
So i have making also a little physio with Maverick and now he's ready to go...
I want recommend Maverick is now the (in)official MOJO for Aksel... What do you mean ?
But what's if Aksel don't likes rabbits...? No, everyone likes rabbits... ;-)

My first thought after the neck cracked: "Now he's killed him!"
I really don't know if I would want someone to do that to my back/neck. Probably I'd be out of the room after the first sound. *shudders*
07. Feb 21:32 - any angel said:
@Christin Pilates, Yoga and all integrated body workouts are really good for a healthy back. A marvelous german specialist of back pain therapy says, that the most back problems arise from too much muscle tension - mostly caused by emotional distress. A concentrative relaxation training could be a marval (e.g. Jacobsen, Hypnotherapy, mental training forms). The most important thing is, that you have to handle it by yourself in the long run. Okay in periods of tough pain, you have to consult a physiotherapist/or a MT who can help (initialy), but only with the maxim "help for self-help". Because the goal should be, to gain control on your body by yourself without tough pain periods and without assistance (well the physios and the docs surly won't hear such things, they are so essential in the modern western medicine and physiotherapy;-)). For me Yoga is one of the best, because I love its natural breathing, that really has such a relaxing effect in correspondence with the strengthening movements/asanas. It's an integrated workout and you get in emotional, mental and physical balance. But I know every person should find his or her own approach to the own body (and mind). All the best!

"So much magnificence" The tears well in my eyes when I hear this song. So much love in it! That gives you a kind of humility and you feel balanced and wholly somehow. Have made the experience several times in my yoga lessons during the relaxation. Just for relaxation! ;-)

07. Feb 20:23 - Tony said:
hehe, "turn up the sound..." thank you very much!
Nice to hear the pops when you are waiting for it, though :)
Once, I thought my body was totally fine until a manual therapist asked me to be a subject for a practical case at school. Oh my god, he manipulated almost each single joint from the top to toe. And in the end he said: Well, I guess you have had a lot of crashes on the slopes. Take care! Haha :)

That would be a hell of a freak show!!!! But pretty damn hilarious, I'm sure.

And YAY for the Super Bowl, I'm really looking forward to it. Fortunately I'm having the day off tomorrow. So I'll grab a beer and some chocolate (perfect combination) and then hopefully it's going to be exciting.

And what I forgot to do during the last posts, but I'm impudent enough to bring it back up, is my Olympic favourites:

1) Cross-Country (Seriously! But more like the guys' races because those are just a lot more exciting than the girls' ones because of the tactics and stuff- and of course because they're guys)
2) Alpine Skiing
3) Boarder Cross/Short Track

And the one discipline I totally don't get and probably never will (no, not Curling):
Double Luge. Seriously, why would anyone ever do that? Like put on those (unlike in Alpine Skiing) totally unflattering spandex outfits, grab a mate, lie down on each other and slide down somewhere. WHY?

The "knekking" sounds were quite scary but after wathching the video once and when I muted my computer and fast forwarded 20 seconds then I must say that THAT turn on the table was a great pick me up for little ol¨me who has just become boyfriendless.

Super Bowl - I have little idea about the discipline, know the rules a bit but I am not so much into teams, so I would just hope for exciting game and spectacle. ;-)
07. Feb 16:19 - Christin said:
@A.: I'm doing Pilates. My doc also confirmed it as a good sport to do. The only thing I can do is do sport and try to stabilize my back through muscles. But if the pain is too strong I have to stop the training. It's a vicious circle. There is only good and bad days. After 8 bad weeks I'm now at the good days.
Super Bowl-hype is awesome. In Germany, it's not so big, but at least there's a station which shows it, so I'm fine with that! And you're definitely right...it's a really good warm-up! You have a favorite? Or do you take it like I do...may the best win!
07. Feb 16:04 - A. said:
oh, cool idea, interesting topic to post about! (just when I am on my detox to stop posting, something appears here that I just have to comment!)

This "practice" looks rad. Respect for the physio/MT guy, very complicated and responsible job he has and so much knowledge and experience is needed! Best regards to him! The facial expressions of Aksel: priceless! you almost could not be funnier, man!

Re challenge: I offer the Sounds Of My Knee!

@Christin: have you tried pilates, it's supposedly helpful for back problems...I hope you can find a way to be pain-free soon! and Super Bowl-the hype around is crazy, isn't it? I am thinking about watching it too, tonight, as a warm-up for the late nights during the Olympics;-)

cheers!
07. Feb 16:01 - amazon ;) said:
Oops Aksel, I'm impressed and I'm shivering at the same time. I can never release my muscles, if a physio approaches (especially to my neck) and aims to do his manual therapy...oh oh. At that moment I strive against it like a wild scared cat. Horrifying sound, grrrr. Dear me! It seems that you enjoy that!?! ;)

Oh yeah, the sound seems to me pretty crepy...oof! but the whole video is actually pretty funny to me,hehe... :-) Aksel you always make fun of almost everything! When I watched it through I though to myself, oh man... you are almost "brokedown" but you are still giving us a feeling like "Hey, look at me! I'm completely fine!"hehe! and just to make us sure you put your thumb up and give us super gorgeous smile! *hehe* just amazing! The most funny part...this one with a head, crazy! In spite of that persuasive video I still prefer to stick to relexing body masagge. :-)

Still laughing! I just can't miss an opportunity to check these blog, so interesting and funny things are always going on here! Thumbs up!
07. Feb 15:01 - Christin said:
hehe...it looks so awful when you see this done on somebody else. I'm always afraid the doc hurts me even more than it hurts at the moment. Unfortunately, I only have max. 30 min of relaxed non-painful moments after the therapy and then my back is back in pain. Doc can't do anything about it and he can't treat me this way very often. So I always nearly celebrate this 30 min. But it looks like you enjoyed it ;-)

Glad to hear that you're back in shape and ready for the big goal. Hope the rest of the team is also. Enjoy the last relaxing days before the excitement turns up.

I'm going to "rehearse" for the long nights with less sleep tonight. Because it's Super Bowl Time!!! *yeah*

@Mimia: I'm accepting the challenge and put also back and left shoulder in to do such nice sounds.
07. Feb 14:34 - Angie said:
Hehe, cool to see a video-post again!
Ah, successful manipulation can sound a bit frightening, but I agree with you that the feeling afterwards is great! And it also sounds like your spine needed a little mobilization ;-)

@Mimia: funny idea with the Best-of-US-challenge-thing! Bytheway, I can make the same sound by self-manipulating my thoracal spine, does that count? ;-)
07. Feb 14:31 - easygoing said:
@Mimia:
a friend of mine can do the same as you (do that sound with the neck without someones help) you can be proud to have such a extraordinary ?gift? coz that?s really impressive ;-) however, it?s not that ?great sound? which is produced by doing that... ;-) personally, it gives me the shivers... for the person itself it must be a pretty great feeling though. that?s a bit similar to people who ?crack with their fingers?. they often say, ?sorry i need to do so?...
07. Feb 13:06 - Mimia said:
I can only agree with manca and Ronja and Aksel:
It does indeed feel pretty great.

But I bet I can dare all of you guys (this is inspired by, of course, this post and the awesome The Best Of Us Challenge thing, check it out, it's really funny)

http://thebestofuschallenge.olympic.org/index.html?fbid=pR1Nalp5DAn

So if I were to make up a challenge this would be mine:

I can do that sound with my neck without having someone pull my head, I just have to move my head in a certain way. Anyone accepting the challenge? :P

Well, the price for being able to do so is some pain every now and then since there's something wrong with my neck. But it's always a good way to impress people, even though it might be more of the ooh-that's-totally-abnormal-and-slightly-gross kind of impressive...

do you remember those ancient wooden toys one could demount and mount in different shapes? the sound your snapping bones and chondrals make somehow reminds me of those. but it appears as if you were enjoying yourself - thumbs up!

ouch... this sound gives me the creeps... which remembers me of school days when some of the teachers weren?t able to write on the blackboard without a ?shuddering sound? (of the chalk)... wuah... awful sound. so your tip to turn up the sound wasn?t that good ;-) hehe
you should have written ?turn DOWN the sound? ;-)

anyway, if you feel much better afterwards, it?s a good decision to do it. :-)

wish you all the best for the olympic games! go for it! =)

after intense physio and gym i am sure you can turn around your head 180°
and you can cross your legs behind your neck
right?

The sound is awful, especially the neck, but you feel so much better afterwards! Got 30 cm of snow tonight so now it's up in the northern norwegian mountains for some free riding and maybe get some good shots as well!

that's the most important thing when you're in that kind of sport :-) and it looks almost the same as Chiropractics as Manca said.. it helps me too ..by the way good luck at Olympics

how I can become the physio of a ski team?:)))
07. Feb 09:32 - manca said:
Oh, it is similar as chiropractic, isn't it? Since my back is often making me problems, I visit one of those from time to time. So I know it is not as unpleasant as it might sound:) It is actually the first thing ever that helps with my back so I hope it makes you feel good too. I wish you effective last days of training and get some good rest in between.

Can't stop laughing. My cutie little sis' (3) was crying and said: Did they kill him ? haha, so funny. I'm gonna show her the vid again;-)

Yakkk:( Didnt like the sound at all:( usj..But I'll guess it works! Thats the most important:)
Great to hear that the training goes well and that you are ready to hit the podium, Aksel;-)
Wooohoooo..just a few days left, and then...ready set go:)
Really annoying that I wasnt able to watch "The Miracle Body" on SVT, but maybe they'll show it later. Both programs, hope so. Read the articles thu - wow - I'm amazed!
Ha tonnevis med moro, Aksel, hold deg frisk, spis godt, sov godt og la hvert sekund være balsam for sjelen. Dette kommer til å gå så bra!:)
