Life changing video - this perfectly puts into words the problems I've been feeling throughout my entire body for the last 4 years but could never identify. Like you I had braces that fixed my teeth/jaw into an assymetrical position, and after they came off in 9th grade, I was hit with chronic injury after injury when I had never so much as twisted an ankle despite playing 3 different sports throughout my childhood. I would sit through classes in high school squirming around in my seat sometimes because I had such visceral feelings of random tension in my back or twisting in my hips. I'm so lucky that I found your channel and others like it so early when I'm only 18, I would have gone crazy wondering what the hell was wrong with me all while being told by any mainstream medical professional that it was all in my head. People like you, John/Mike Mew, and Andrew Huberman who bring these life changing ideas to the public for free online are really creating so much positive change in the world by giving people control/knowledge of their bodies back, it really is amazing.

What you really have to do is really low weight kettle bell hip thrusts but to get to that point you have to achieve a position closer to balanced than before so in my case I have to try really hard to keep my ass pulled tight ensuring my right hip doesnt come up and my left hit doesnt go down through controlling the lower back, same thing with glute bridges etc. For my torso I kinda imagine the lower 2/3 to be abs contracted and back pushing backwards (not straining) and thorassic spine pushed forwards. Also flexing the front of my body while trying to relax and breathe through my back while laying in bed at night really helps too but I have to go reaaaaally slow otherwise I breathe with my abs/front ribs instead.

I cannot confirm if the influences on my bite and cranium are benefiting my body, that just seems too good to be true. But we will see.

This video is a gold mine! Great video!

Great video! Good to know that there are people who not only had similar issues as I have, but also they care for the rest so they do videos like this. Four years ago while starting to do pull-ups at the gym my back and neck got immobilized, like a sudden muscle spasm. The first two years it took me to go for a massage but 6 months later I would have the same pain/ache at the left minor rhomboid zone. Lots of doctors saw me and I went through lots of specializations. In the next month I will end my orthodontic treatment and I start the TMJD treatment (with the TMJ splint). Apparently my issue started in the TMJ, for 10 years I've been hearing that clicking sound on my right shoulder and the pull-ups increased the intensity of the asymmetry of my body. I hope my back ache goes away after the TMJ treatment. For people who are in a similar situation, I have right TMJD without pain at the jaw nor facial issues or ringing issues, but I used to have the right shoulder higher than the left shoulder. Also the pelvic compensated that and I used to have head-forward position and cervical rectification. I used to chew gum a lot when I was younger. Currently I have 32 years old and this happened while I was about to be 28. Thanks for the video and sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Argentina!

What exercises should we do to correct it?

I was missing this last step! I have been watching so many other videos on youtube about si joint pain, lateral tilt , posture practices and they all have helped temporarily until i back one wrong move that cause my right side to tighten up again. You are so RIGHT its my mind telling me that I need to protect myself and after watching your video i put some mint cream on my side that gets tight, then I started to tell my self to relax that side , and OMG ive never felt this way in a long time

It’s incredible how accurate you’re explaining my reality. Everything you say I start shaking my head ‘yes’. Pain my entire life (since around 13yo) was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was about 12, had two growth spurts and “spine straightened out” but hips were left out of alignment due to development with a curved spine I believe. Pain everyday, all day, my entire life. Pain as I’m typing this but the ‘shifting’ of weight to left leg and breathing relieves around 80% of all inflammation. My pattern looks like yours or worse.

WOw! This video was such revealing. I'm 37 with back pain problems since I was 13 or 14. I also had my palate expanded when I was 12 and the center of lower teeth is shifted to the right. I also have tinnitus, loss of both cervical and lumbar lordosis, 3 herniated discs, a visible shifted hip with hip, groin pain and TFL, biceps femoris and piriformis that hurt like a broken rib. Thanks for all this content. Just subscribed to learn more about PRI.

Neal you have touched on a very important topic and from what I can find on the internet you're one of the few people who address this problem. I appreciate your work, and thank you very much. Also as a constructive criticism, I noticed that you like to repeat on a topic to emphasize it's importance and that can take time and make the videos longer which might stir away some people who don't want to watch long videos on a rather short concept. Please realize that it's a youtube video and we have the ease to watch any part we wish on repeat and don't require repetition inside the video itself. Look forward to watching more of your videos.

Years of looking through forums and youtube videos to find whats wrong with my face or assymetry, and I find this gem that explains everything I'm going through perfectly, but in my case its my left molars and left side that's more pronounced, even my left eyesight was better than the right!! at a young age I had a head trauma on the right side of my eyebrow so I guess whatever happened happened, but I'm glad I found a basepoint to start fixing my issues thank you so so much!!

You the man. I like this content a lot. You know what you're talking about

I am incredibly thankful I found your videos. I am a 26-year-old male who has never had braces. I suffered an L5 stress fracture in high school from powerlifting, and ever since I have had severe tightness on my entire left side from my hip to my upper neck. I have never had braces, but due to TMJ on the left side of my jaw, I had a mouth guard made for nighttime to alleviate some of the symptoms. When I am walking throughout the day, I do not feel pain on my right side near my hip, however, if I engage full weight onto my right side, I can experience shooting incredible pain up my spine and down my leg that is completely mind-numbing and this can occur if I am hanging too freely from a pull-up bar as well and then drop to the ground too quickly. I have looked at my mouthguard after watching this video, and I believe that I have the exact opposite of what you have. I feel much more pressure in my right molars, and the left side of my teeth has less space than the right, and the left side of my teeth is caved inwards with the back left molar sticking out to the side. I have a few questions: How effective will this mouth guard be in reducing my tightness of the left side, how much do you think this pain that I can trigger in my right side of my spine has caused my brain to not let my body tend to use my right side, and should I consider palate expansion or surgery near my L5 vertebrae? I am extremely tired of experiencing the severe tightness of the left side, left hip is lower than right, and TMJ.

Tried the neck turns and found i had some nerve tension on my left bend. Luckily i was able to pull up my jaw since it was laxed and it was instantly free. But I need to get to my teeth realigned. And now I notice that my right side is more tense whereas the other can completely relax. Thanks for the idea!

One legged standing is great for balance and situational awareness... do you think it would be helpful to stand on the left leg only, as an exercise, to encourage the left side to sense the ground more?

Fascinating thank you for sharing that information

very clever video, to be honest I'm struggling with back pain for the past 8 years and none of my doctors seem to grasp the concept that I need my whole body to be proper, not just a certain part of my spine. its maddening cause I've been told that I have hip problem, lower spine problem, ribcage level vertabre problem, neck problem, but to be honest I had to kinda figure out this on my own where I just anialysed my body when laying down that even my jaw movements can influence muscule tension at hip level. no one tells you this, but it can't be stressed enough that your body is a structure, STRUCTURE, with top middle and low, you would not fix a building just by moving the 3rd floor to the right cause the rest would collapse, I think similarly, you have to look at the hole body, not just parts, cause working on parts will jsut give you problems to the other parts of your body

What are the exercises?

Gosh this is fascinating. I've been digging into my own Left AIC pattern issues and the whole eyes/jaw connection makes so much sense. Have you ever tried making clients close one eye when they walk?? It struck me as a curious experiment watching this video and seems to have really curious effects on my gait. For example my sleepy left glut seems to wake up quite a lot when I shut my right eye. Is that a thing, or am I imagining things? (Huge thanks for all your 'left AIC' videos btw. So valuable for me)

This video is underrated

Great job

Neal! First, thank you for everything that you do. You're saving so many people from missing life, including myself. Thank you from every corner of my heart. While hands and knees breathing, holding left ZOA, thoracic flexion, and appropriate airflow management, I noticed that I can "sit back" a fair way towards my ankles while maintaining the posture. With and without a towel under my left knee. Do you think this is an effective way to train my neuro connection to the left hamstring/zoa/t flexors, etc? I feel the same things that I'm supposed to during the 90/90 and scissor slides. My only doubt is that it may somewhat remove input from my feet. Your website says to be experimental! Thank you for your time and effort once again. Love from South Jerz

Does this condition could be related to radiating sensations on my face going towards my arms? Everything you teach really makes sense to me.

What are some excirseces i can do at home to fix my uneven shoulders??

Hey Neal, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all. Im discovered your channel recently. You have so many vids with different exercises can i ask you to navigate me? I have "right side" overload over last several years, my pelvic is rotated - cant say which side - but right leg is shortened and taking more load, right quad is tight, plus right ribs is rotated back slightly and blocked,so my right diaphragm is not fully working. Plus that chronic neck pain because of blocked ribs/diaphragm on right side. My jaw is also shifted to the right sidr slightly. Which exercises/your vids can you recommend to start with?

Nice video... I corrected my teeth problem and Nick problem when I became a nose breather instead of a mouth breather

Would one of your arms feel numb at times? And/or fingers? Also would one side of your face feel numb ? Just now at 37 addressing this issue with aligners and dentists all around and doctors seem oblivious to this connection or just choose to not accept it is the root cause. Any , who thanks for making me feel less crazy. 💜

Some days I feel like I'm losing my mind being unable to escape from these painful and tiring signals that my body wont stop sending (hips, front of neck, shoulders wrists, back, sciatica, eyes ). I had pectus surgery as a kid but to this day (im 33), I've yet to achieve a neutral spine. I stretch daily and am in decent shape. One day I really pushed myself to almost passing out in exercise and as I lay on the floor breathing, my body felt so euphorically good, and I've never achieved that level of body good feeling again. It was like two whole minutes in heaven of my spine being in alignment. Then I got up off the floor and went back to real life. I never been able to achieve that state again and constantly battle with my spine and hips for hours a day. I watch videos and do exercises and mediations for this stuff and try to fully experience every joint and muscle fiber to build my mind muscle connection. It's been years and I'm at the end of my rope, the last time I talked to my ortho about this, they were talking about surgery as my last option and fusing my lower spinal vertebre, which would just be treating a symptom and put me out of commission for a long time. It's kinda like I'm never able to experience my whole body at once. My daily evolution at this point is a shifting of positions into whatever is least painful, unless I'm able to get so focused on something else until my body inevitably reminds me that some nerves are turning off. I wake up in the bear trap every mornign and slowly pull myself out of it and loosen up, only to find myself in the same trap the next morning. I have no clue what to do anymore, and feel completely out of control of my own body even as I continue to develop physical skills, coping mechanisms, and a deeper mind muscle connection. Reading these comments at least makes me feel less alone with this issue, as none of my friends family or doctors really seem to get what is wrong with me, and talking to people about it just makes you the 'sick' person. It's a really dysfunctional way to live mentally and physically. If you can relate and have had success with something similar or any insights to share please do share for me and everyone else who is desperately reading these comments for help. And thanks a lot to Neal H for his hard work and dedication to helping people with these problems. This is a really life ruining problem so I'm sure he's helped a lot of people with this information

What's your plan for expanding the right palate symmetrically now (or expanding the right more)? Once you take the splint out, won't you immediately go back to the right torsion pattern and end up expanding the left side more just like how you mentioned in childhood? Also, do you know if the right TMCC people would need left palatal expansion to get out of their pattern completely?

Hey, I am currently trying to watch all of your videos about the patterns. My little”problem” is, that I love going to the gym. I am currently trying to include as much PRI exercises as possible into my program but there are still compound movements like Dumbell bench pressing where it’s not possible to get my left Z O A. What would you recommend? For me it’s impossible to stop doing my normal activities in the gym and only focus on PRI exercises but would you say that it’s pointless then?

I made a video about dumbbell flys, and how to keep rotation in your torso while you do them. You don't need to maintain a ZOA 24/7. You just want to have it when you leave the gym and go on about your daily life.

Bit of a long shot. I'm not sure if you read the comments still but... I have a convex-left 10-15 degree curve in the high thoracic spine, kind between the scapulas. I also have a lower right shoulder and the pelvis is higher on the right side. My right leg seems to "tilt under" the pelvis, kind of scissoring in a bit over midline. The left leg seems to be fine but the muscles above (obliques, psoas maybe, etc.) seem much tighter on the left. The right core muscles I can barely get to activate. A fair bit of what you're saying seems to correlate to my issue, but it seems like some things don't. Would you have any suggestions or tweaks that I should use when employing the knowledge from this video? I'm pretty desperate to get some of this corrected. Thanks so much in advance!!!

I have fixed many issues I had with my body over the years since I have released the psoas I have been basically back pain-free, but I am convinced that what is still there and is not functional is due to my occlusion and jaw. I have never had braces and considering that I was not breastfed it is a miracle my teeth are the way they are. The issue is that many dentists look at me as if I am crazy or 'oversensitive' when I bring the issue up. How do I find someone who knows of all this (UK or Italy)?

Thanks a million

Fascinating video Neal!!!!! I actually sleep better when I sleep on the floor (yoga mat) with no pillow and some people report the same thing. That’s bad for the neck curve you talked about right? Why could it be that people report better sleep on the floor? I’m aways curious about that. And do you have any videos on the jaw shifted to the left?

@NealHallinan

2 жыл бұрын

I don't know if it would be bad for the curve or not. If you sleep better, your brain must like it. A jaw shifted to the left is just the RTMCC pattern.

Hey Neil! How long did it take for you to start noticing your cranium reshaping? I got a MOOO from Torin Berge in Lincoln 6 months ago. I am finally pain-free but have not noticed any cranium reshaping. I have the exact same cranium structure as you once did.

Curious can a deviated septum that aims the nose towards the right also affects breathing contribute to this. Baseball injury happened when I was young never got it fixed, honestly never I knew I had it as I think I was already right sided adapted, but now I can't unsee it. Found out when I got covid and they tried to put something up my nose and the nurse was having trouble and told me I had a deviated septum

The body wants balance. When the brain detects imbalance, it tells the body to adjust. If something is stuck, then something else moves extra to make room and compensate. Through the years, I've taken note of crooked, twisted, and tilted parts of my body, and of my dominance-preference tendencies. I'm left-handed by nature, living in a right-handed world. I perform most tasks as left-hand dominant, though I prefer my right hand for other tasks. My right eyelid doesn't open as widely as my left, and (therefore?) my right eyebrow tends to involuntarily lift, so I have to make a conscious effort to pay attention to that before photos. When reading, I usually allow my visual focus to relax and split apart, "seeing double," and I use my left eye more often for reading. Having noticed this, I intentionally switch to right-eye reading once in a while, "for exercising brain balance." I am more likely to hold a phone to my right ear, perhaps to allow my left hand to take the pen to paper. I have all 32 teeth. My wisdom teeth are not causing discomfort, so why bother to have them removed! My upper right smaller incisor, number-7 tooth, shifted slightly forward of number-8; and my lower left front bicuspid, number-21 tooth, shifted toward the outside of and slightly overlapping my left canine tooth. While I can feel contact along almost all my molars, both left and right, it feels like there is a little more pressure on the left. When I slide my jaw forward, it tends to shift left when matching my upper and lower incisors together. I have decent front/ back/ left/ right/ open/ close range of jaw motion. My neck is too straight upright, as viewed from side x-rays, yet when viewed from the front, it buckles out toward the left with a slight twist and tilt in the middle. Despite this, I have a broad range of neck motion, both turning and tilting. X-rays also show mild scoliosis in my lower thoracic into lumbar spine, exaggerated lumbar lordosis, and my sacrum has a posterior tilt. Torso tilt and rotation are pretty good all around, unless I try to do a back bend. My right shoulder sits higher and rotates slightly forward; my left hip sits higher and rotates slightly forward; and when seated on the floor splay-legged, my left leg rotates outward. The outer right edge of the heel of my right shoe wears out faster in comparison to the left, and the right insole shows more compression wear - a result of harder strike from having a right hip closer to the ground than my left. It's no wonder that I tell my chiropractor sometimes that "I feel like a Twizzler." I can definitely feel a difference in pelvic position when roller skating (at a rink), between clockwise and counterclockwise turns. It's as if my hips don't know how to tip-shift for clockwise crossover turns. Well... that wraps up my lunch break, and I gotta get back to work ... desk job ... I sit too long and often forget to get up and walk a bit.

My left ribcage sticks out and seems misaligned, and doing rows seems to cause issues in my lat and shoulder blade on the left side, how can i fix this?

Hi Neill at the end, 17:23 you said if a jaw is shifted to the right it is a big deal. Can you tell me why? I am right dominant but I lean towards my left. My jaw shifts to the right. I have pretty good range of motion in my neck.

Hey Neal, I have a question about the left sidebending strain. Do you know any cases of someone who got their cranial bones back to neutral from a left sidebend with PRI exercices, foot orthotics, vision therapy and without doing anything extensive like orthodontics/surgery? If a crossbite is present, is it impossible to get out of the strain? I have a crossbite on the left molar but I don't favor it. I think I have a pattern that is literally the opposite of yours (my left palatal line is more forward than my right palatal line) Also, how can I tell a left sidebend strain from a left torsion?

@NealHallinan

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, in general left sidebends are easy to resolve because it’s really just the right TMCC pattern with a little more visible facial asymmetry. The difference between the two would probably be the position of the sphenoid. I’m not an expert on that however.

Believe me, youve done your job, now go take care of it. I have been plagued by every symptom he mentions... The shitty thing is, that it started off as something very very very small in younger age, my teens.. and later has taken over my entire body to the point of nearly requiring spinal surgery ( will likely still need, already had both my hips done thanks to this stuff... ) . Rather then being someone who struggles constantly chasing symptoms and performing basic tasks... fix it sooner rather then later. take it from me. Last but not least... let others know.... Ive been in PT, Accu, Chiro, sleep studies, pelvic floor therapy, doctors, surgeries, MY ENTIRE LIFE, but no one notified me of the core issue driving them. show them this video... or any other related video. Im talking tens of thousands of dollars ive spent on this already. I am blessed to have stumbled upon this information, not everyone is so lucky.

Hey Neil for question on the left adductor Exercise. Since my Pelvic is on my right side I do it just on my right or both?

I've been dealing with exactly this for so long. I'm a strength and conditioning coach and take some of the PRI courses but I just haven't been able to resolve it. 😔

Certain individuals develop pelvic tilt, following unsuspected leg fractures. During unsupervised recovery, one limb gets elongated, as additional connective tissue is formed. Unintentionally, the recovering individual adapts to the new, elongated limb geometry by tilting the upper body to remain in the individual's perceived vertical position, as the pelvis is angled to compensate for the differences. Such individuals whose healing conditions are much steeper, would appreciate rehabilitative recommendations.

do you have a dentist you'd recommend to check out jaw / teeth related issues? I've had TMJ issues since high school so suspect that's at play but...definitely have a straight neck that isn't resolving from chiropractic.

*What about prolo therapy to help with cervical instability?*

SI joint pain and pain down my front left thigh with muscle stiffness after sitting. The left side of my pelvis is apparently hiked upward. Just read some of your articles - they’re really helpful. Does this mean if my pelvic tilt is higher in the left that I do exercises on my right? Just trying to get my head round it all. Also - I have right shoulder / trap pain.

I've done virtually every PRI technique that exists. All the techniques are trying to accomplish the same things, just in different positions and different levels of difficulty. Unfortunately I can't answer your question because we are all individuals with different challenges. You can't treat a Patho PEC client/patient the same as you would a simple Left AIC patterned individual. They are world's apart. What would work for a Left AIC patterned individual could end up hurting a patho PEC. That's why I can only talk about PRI concepts and encourage people to seek help from a professional
