That is rocking it, which works if it's a little tight, but it shouldn't be needed. If the barrel (or any joint) is really stuck, rocking sometimes helps, but often doesn't.
Coincidentally... a couple of months ago someone came with some minor problems with their clarinet. I noticed that the barrel was hard to assemble. After checking, it absolutely needed some of the wood removed. He said that when it's hard to disassemble he is rocking it a little and it comes off (though more than in Roxann's video). After explaining the problem, what causes it, how to repair it, what's the risk of not having it repaired and that he shouldn't need to rock it to disassemble, he eventually chose to not have it done. He called yesterday, barrel and upper section are cracked...
