Natalie, 55, sat upright and closed her eyes while Dr. Cody slowly began to release the tension stored in her body.
Then he broke her neck very quickly.
Natalie’s eyes shot open and she seemed startled and even uttered a profanity.
Dr. Cody, whose Instagram bio reads “The Best Crack in the World,” also took a dig at presenter Matt, 44, telling him his upper thoracic spine was “leaning too far forward,” which was likely a “postural issue.”
After the chiropractor broke Matt’s back, the co-host declared, “I feel like a new man.”
“I feel like I’ve just gained an inch in height.”
Sunrise and Dr. Cody shared a video of Matt’s treatment on Instagram, much to the delight of viewers.
Australian Olympic diver Sam Fricker commented: “Two legends.”

Another person wrote: “I love a good crack! Shirvo is cool, a great addition to the show.”
Others said they “needed so much” to have their necks and backs broken by a chiropractor.
News presenter Edwina Bartholomew was also present and was accompanied by Dr. Cody looked after.
The chiropractor massaged her neck and had her open her shirt collar to allow better access and then tilt her neck to the side.
The mother of two relaxed for a moment before Dr. Cody moved her head lightning fast, making a popping sound.
Edwina screamed, “Jesus Christ!”
She covered her mouth with her hand and laughed.
This comes after Natalie gave a rare glimpse of the Sunrise squad enjoying a day of fun at the AFL grand final.
The presenter and her co-hosts were busy cheering and drinking as they watched the Collingwood Magpies fight fiercely for victory against the Brisbane Lions.
Natalie jumped out of her seat all day as she watched the exciting decider in Melbourne.
Just before, Former AFL villain Ben Cousins opened up to the Sunrise presenter about his personal struggles.
He became vulnerable while surrounded by football fans ahead of Saturday’s clash at Federation Square in Melbourne.
Natalie asked Cousins, “Are you okay?”
The athlete said it had been a “long road” but “life is great at the moment.”
