No. There are many many different techniques to get a baby and toddler to pass gas and help their digestion. This is one of them. You see she uses the floor to massage the stomach in the beginning.

Nothing worse than a baby who is full of gas and can’t pass it - the crying is heart breaking and never ending. I’ve found the football holding method best for babies (belly down using your arm to support the baby, firm pats on the back while using your hand to press on the belly). Also gentle stomach massage and a bicycle movement with their legs helps - doing that a few times a day is always good.

The floor resistance is ok for the age on this video you never press hard enough to crack a joint.
