How I Got My Ground Back: Chronic Pain to Healthy

Postural Restoration is about regaining the ground you've lost. That makes no sense, I realize that. But you need to consider that our brain organizes muscle function via sensory input that comes through your eyes, the internal movements of your joints, and from our interaction with the ground.
Anyone who is in a left AIC pattern has lost sense of the ground on the left, at least partially. The reason is simple. Your center of mass has shifted to the right and that has become your new normal. It's your starting point and your ending point. You never leave it. You never shift fully to the left. So your brain "forgets" about it.
If you need help, I do offer on-line coaching.

    You nailed it perfectly. I have been studying singing for some years. But I was stuck with a half baked voice. I just could not progress. When I saw your first lessons I knew you were right. Some how I was immediately referred to a specialist optometrist where I discovered I had been seeing double on my left. I got prisms and WOW! My whole left visual field opened up. I started visualizing the left side ground meeting me halfway. And in one voice lesson everything changed. My voice had this new dimension and fullness. Now I am working systematically to reintegrate the left side. Brilliant!

    6 months into the basic PRI exercises, and I am starting to neurologically sense the ground. I go in and out of it sometimes. The feeling is unlike anything I ever felt. The first thing I sensed was my neck felt loose like the wobble head figure people put on dashboards. What an amazing feeling when your mind is free from the constant pain messages your neck muscles are sending. Thanks Neal

    I have a myriad of symptoms in every system and my back has been problematic since I have use of memory. It's tight and sore from c1 to tailbone. I remember always walking on tip toes since kinder garden, instinctively, so much so that my toes grew clawed. I'm 40. I remember being in pain and with a hunched back, but doctors said spine was fine and my posture was normal because I was growing breasts and girls get ashamed of it 😆 nobody believed me when I said I didn't mind them and I just wanted to get help to feel stable and pain free. Nobody believes me when I say I am chronically fatigued plus intolerant to exercise (too much pain in my back plus can't cool properly, can't breath well and feel ill), they think I'm just lazy. Needless to say things got worse when I got braces (it was a very bad doctor). Now that I've found your channel I can't even start to imagine all that this problem in my back caused or where to start trying to fix it.

    Neal, you are a rock star and have explained an abstract concept very well. My right SI joint is loose, and I thought I was in the right AIC pattern until you mentioned in another video that it is highly improbable that anyone has the right AIC pattern as most people are in the Left AIC pattern or PEC. I'm 61 and have lived a very physically demanding life in the woods logging. Broke front right big toe multiple times and also broke the left ankle in a logging accident. These injuries have me walking on the right outside foot and also wearing down the left outside shoes. When I walked, heal strike on right foot, but no follow-through onto the big toe. Then on the left foot, the left heel would gingerly strike and I would roll off the front left 3-4 toes on left foot. I have no sense of ground, so am working on footwear, breathing exercises and stretching. I'm a left side breather - deep into left abdomen when I'm running. I'm also a mouth breather, so exercises that have one breathe in, I instinctively breathe in with the mouth and out through the nose. I know you are in New Jersey, which is far from Alaska. Your reach is very good. I don't know why my right SI joint is so loose, but it pops. I'm an athlete in very good shape, but have been living in constant pain for 35 years. I'm a long distance cross-country runner. I have to stay in great shape for pain management. - yet I still live in pain. I'm still searching for options and ran across your theoretical approach in August. I'm noticing results with the Standing Wall Supported Ischial Femoral Ligamentous Stretch. My objectives seem to be: Find ground (am wearing stiff, supported shoes); and Get stacked (hip tilt/shift/stop leading with my neck/chin) How do your services work?

He didn't pay attention to that... I also have a lazy left eye and lazy left foot. Whenever I stand I notice my left foot tends to turn left and be on the outer edge. I am not sure I will be able to go through the same journey Neal as I am in Australia and there is no PRI here. At least, I can do your exercises for now in the hope they will help a bit with that muscle tension.

    Almost all Postural Restoration techniques included the left heel and right arch. There isn't anything special about it, you just bring your awareness to those areas, feeling the ground under those areas. Your brain responds to pressure from the ground, we are directing that pressure to where we lost sense of the pressure due to the pattern.

I also have had dental work and I do feel like I am not always touching both sides of my molars. I really want to correct all these problems, but it seems like you need a team of drs.

My right hip is higher in X-ray I feel very little pressure on my left leg when walking. My right hip seems over mobile compared to left. Never have pain in left.., but it’s very tight. I feel odd when I try to lean left. When I stand you can visually see my right side pelvis is more forward. I get dizziness often. Is this the pattern you are talking about?

    Hello Joni. My experience would say yes, and that's also what PRI teaches. A true right torsioned individual is using their stomatognathic system for stabilization. That "habit" has to be interrupted by a splint. Otherwise your neck will keep tightening up, pulling you into extension. I do have a video about this exact situation on my channel.

    Covering a right eye won't really help in my opinion beyond perhaps just a momentary intervention to decrease sympathetic tension. On the other hand, many PRI techniques have you stepping on a two inch block under your left foot to "bring the ground up". The orthotics were because my arches were so high, there was no pronation going on at all for either foot.

Now to the question I have in mind regarding the brain sensing the ground. When I lie on the ground with my knees bend(prior to putting my feet on the wall for 90-90) everything is alright, no pain. The moment I put my feet on the wall I feel like my brain totally freaks out and my right leg starts hurting bad starting near the buttocks and going down the leg almost to the ankle. If I do the hip shift it starts hurting even more. I guess I don't feel save enough with my legs on the wall, I am not feeling enough "ground" on the wall and my brain freaks out. Is this what you mean by saying that "some people aren't ready for some of exercises"? What's your take on that? Any suggestions?

    For the past 8 years (possibly longer) Ive had aches and pains among other things that have been gradually getting worse. About 7months ago I started a new job (landscaping) which was very physical and hard work all day. I enjoy this kind of work however the aches and pains rapidly got worse and I developed a tilted hip. I recently was at the chiropractors and he said I have mild Scoliosis which was very surprising to hear at 30years of age. My spine has no obvious curves to it, just a pronounced right side when I bend over. I believe he did the Adams test or something which shows its true scoliosis and not functional. However, I have been watching your videos and have experienced almost all of the things you talk about from the feet to the vision(Weak left Eye), neckpains (worse on right side) muscular weakness and so on. (I had an injury to the left hamstring) So to my question. Is it possible for the things you describe over a long time to culminate and appear as true scoliosis? I understand Ive not given you much to go on, I could have written an essay but didnt want to bore you. Anyway, thank you for the videos I really appreciate the knowledge your sharing.

    Absolutely. You probably don't have scoliosis. You probably have a left AIC right BC pattern. Doctors don't know what they are looking at. The vast majority of scoliotic spines result in the exact same curve as you'd find in the right BC pattern. They call it "idiopathic" scoliosis because they don't know the origin. True scoliosis is rather obvious and spotted in children quite readily. If it's not "discovered" until you're 30, than it's more likely that you are in the right BC pattern.

    Dear Neal, Thank you for another amazing video. I’ve been practicing the techniques at home and have seen great improvements. My left side sciatica disappeared within the first two weeks, after ten months I have little to no S.I. joint pain, my neck is a little looser too. I am wondering if I perhaps have the eye issue you describe here as I feel the benefits aren’t sticking maybe I’m too much of a hurry ! But I do have amblyopia in my left eye from early childhood so my vision in my left eye is limited and my right eye does all the work. I have reading glasses only which only make my right eye work harder. Is this the same eye issue you’ve had ? Thanks again for the brilliant content in your videos.

    Hello Huma. I'm happy to hear that you feel better. I don't think you are in too much of a hurry (actually I think you are unbelievable patient to do the same techniques for 10 months!) it's just that the techniques on my site are introductory techniques. There are other aspects of a PRI-based program that go beyond those four techniques. I imagine you need more than just those few techniques. Most people do. On the other hand, a history of amblyopia can certainly cause neck tension that can spread all the way down to the pelvis musculature. I had a lazy eye that was never noticed because I had no accompanying eye turn. So my brain ignored my left eye so I wouldn't have to deal with double vision. I didn't know this, of course. I don't know your financial situation, but perhaps an online consultation would be of benefit. I'd be able to assess your situation and give you a program to work towards.pritrainer.com/on-line-consultations/

    Does that mean that just fixing your vision would fix all other problems, regardless of doing the pri exercices, insoles etc. because as I understand, the vision problem was the main cause of all of that?

  • @NealHallinan

    Great question. Fixing my vision simply "unlocks" the system and allows change to happen. Previously my vision wasn't allowing change to happen because it kept locking me up. The glasses aren't treatment themselves. It just allows for change to occur. You still have to do PRI techniques to integrate your vision with upright activity.

    I have the same issue with my left eye. Has any of your vision in that eye been restored? Vision therapy was suggested for me, but I have been told conflicting information that it probably won’t work for me as an adult. I have spent so much money on TMJ and tongue tie that I don’t have money to blow on more false hope. Thoughts?

    Yes, I have complete vision. My eyes always worked (although I always needed glasses without realizing it), it's just that my brain chose to "ignore" the image from the left eye. I'm not sure what your situation is.

    Ehlers Danlos? It's tough to deal with because of all that instability. It's tough to inhibit the overactivity of the hip flexors and lower back muscles that your brain is relying on to stabilize your pelvis. Check the PRI website. There are providers out there.

    This may be sort of a loaded question, but if someone is experiencing a lot of what you talk about in these videos, would one be better off going to a PRI certified provider than a dentist, podiatrist, or eye doctor for answers and solutions? I’ve seen all of the above besides a PRI provider, but they aren’t really looking at this from a PRI perspective in relation to postural issues and the underlying patterns involved with them. A lot of them don’t even know what PRI is. I have two PRI certified therapists within an hour drive from me and I’m desperate enough at this point for answers and solutions that I’m willing to schedule an appointment with them, seeing as this is looking like a battle I’m not going to be able to solve and win on my own.

    I went to an optometrist and PT who does pri and they prescribed me "Training glasses" where the left side is Just a green color filter and the right side is prism. With them on all my tests went immediately negative. So im asking myself If Training with These will make a permanent effect on when i'm Not wearing them? as the PT Said i will propably need to use them every Other months for the Rest of my Life... Also i read that prism is only good until you get used to it and your eyes get lazy and you need Stronger prism all the time...

Some people use PRI to release the pelvic et spine, then FRC they do the rest. It is a viable combination for you? Thanks

    I think minimalist footwear on real earth is good. On the other hand, I don't think minimalist footwear on asphalt and flat floors is in most people's best interest, particularly if they are in pain. That's my professional experience. People say sneakers are un-natural, which is true. But flat floors and paved roads and sidewalks are also unnatural. So we are already living in unnatural environments. Something has to give.
