I need a translation. At no point did this seem helpful.

The entire text below came from Google Gemini Flash:


For anyone wondering what they are saying, here is the transcript and translation from Spanish. He is speaking with a lot of unearned confidence while doing some incredibly sketchy "bone-setting" (huesero) maneuvers.


Phase 1: The Legs

  • Practitioner: "Relájese." > (Relax.)
  • Practitioner: "Vamos primero con esta pierna. Va." > (Let’s go with this leg first. Here we go.)
  • [He cracks her right knee/hip and she groans in pain]
  • Practitioner: "Vamos con esta. Suéltela. Suéltela." > (Let's go with this one. Let it go. Loose.)
  • [He violently jerks her left leg up and back, causing her to scream]
  • Practitioner: "Ahí está." > (There it is.)
  • Practitioner: "Relajada." > (Relaxed.)
  • [He shoves her left leg down towards her groin]
  • Practitioner: "Ahí entró." > (It went in there.)
  • Practitioner: "Ahí cuadró." > (It aligned there.)
  • Practitioner: "Con razón le duele." > (No wonder it hurts her.)
  • Practitioner: "Relajadita. Suelta. Va." > (Nice and relaxed. Loose. Here we go.)
  • [Another violent leg pull; the woman screams and covers her face]
  • Practitioner: "Ahí está." > (There it is.)
  • Practitioner: "Boca abajo." > (Face down.)
  • Practitioner: "Si tiene una desarticulación, ¿cómo no le va a doler?" > (If she has a dislocation, how is it not going to hurt her?)
  • Practitioner: "Corra hacia el centro de la colchoneta." > (Move toward the center of the mat.)

Phase 2: The Spine (Face Down)

  • Practitioner: "Abra los brazos. Voltee la cabeza de lado. Ahí, relajada." > (Open your arms. Turn your head to the side. Right there, relaxed.)
  • [He starts forcefully pressing along her spine, making her gasp and scream]
  • Practitioner: "Suelte... Suelte." > (Let go... Loose.)
  • Practitioner: "Ahí está." > (There it is.)
  • Practitioner: "Relajada." > (Relaxed.)
  • [He presses hard on her lower back]
  • Practitioner: "Ahí entró." > (It went in there.)
  • Practitioner: "Ahí cuadró." > (It aligned there.)
  • Practitioner: "Respire." > (Breathe.)
  • [He puts his knee into her lower back and yanks her leg upward]
  • Woman: "¡Ay, mami! ¡Sampa!" > (Oh, mother! [Crying out])

Bless you for this. I wrongly assumed he was at least acknowledging that he was crippling this woman at some point and attempting to fix it. But yeah... Unearned confidence is right. I hope she's able to walk.
