 Dr. Helms explained that when someone like Baena trains intensely, it can lead to tight muscles, especially in the hips.

In addition to fixing this, Dr. Helms began by loosening up Baena’s hips and adjusting his muscles. He mentioned a specific technique called a PSOAS release, which can be uncomfortable but effective. Dr. Helms humorously noted that Baena might either hate or love this part of the treatment, depending on how it feels.

“Yeah, maybe I’ll love it,” he responded. The session continued with Dr. Helms guiding Baena through a series of movements to relieve his muscle tightness. After the adjustments, Baena remarked, “That’s some good ASMR right there.” Besides promoting recovery, the Mr. Olympia’s son opened up about his favorite back workout.
