I just started watching many of your videos! I have vertigo, ringing in my ear, dizzy with a tick and tremors and left side body issues, achey and fatigue. I went to an ear doctor, he said ears were good. My primary said he thought it looked like parkinson's symptoms. A PT who does PRI was able to see my right eye was not tracking properly. A hat bill split in half helped test it. My left top molar is missing and a tongue depressor biting down on it, helped test this. Those two minut things put my whole nervous system and me into a state of relaxation and ease. A neurologist said I have cervical dystonia and wants to do botox injections. The hardest parts are; the chicken or the egg. Where to even start. Needing a tooth, and mouth splint,, prism glasses and add how much those cost coupled with a PRI program. It seems beyond obtainable to get these much needed fixes to feel better. The best way to desbribe how my body feels is iit is like ibeing stuck in a permanent fight or flught mode.

I first came across PRI about 9 months ago,via Conor Harris on KZread.i instantly took a liking to PRI but was struggling with the terms AIC,BC,PEC! After searching PRI again,about 3 weeks ago,I came across your video showing how you opened/closed a gentleman’s rib cage & a light came on🙌I then went & read all the resources on PRI website & I’ve consumed huge amounts of your content & im blown away with everything you do & PRI in general(& Conor).in 3 weeks,I’m off to see the only practitioner in the UK & I can’t freakin wait.ive also took it upon myself to start with the 4 exercises on your website & straight away,I’m feeling more open.thanks for all you do x

Man once again and as usual, the informations you provide are GOLD ! You percectly describes it and I start to understand what was happening to me during so long ! You're the only one that explained it so well and I can learn to understand.

New favorite channel for sure. Excellent works of the highest integrative ilk.

Oh my goodness, I’ve been struggling the last 18 months have all sort of issues. Vestibular, visional, muscular imbalances and slowly worked through to identifying Left AIC. Been working through postural restoration but couldn’t loosen up my left side. As soon as I watched you explain the issue with Tommy it’s immediately clicked. So I did abductor test you showed in the video and tight left side, simply closed my right eye wondered around the house and read a small note and re tested. Boom left side opened up. 🤯 This then made me remember in the past I have had ocular migraines in my left eye after long bike rides. It’s finally making sense now. Thank you for explaining this in a clear manner.

Such a good video! Thank you!

Thanks, Nick.

Watching all your videos, it clicked for me. All these “techniques” or “exercises” are there to do so That we can let our brain know, “hey! You can do this, look you’re in this pattern, don’t forget! It’s okay! You can do it! We are doing it now!” And then we want to continue doing that as we walk and make movement. We tend to lose it when we are out of the 90-90 or in position techniques.. because we are trying to reunite… reintegrate this pattern.. we lost it because our brain feels threatened or in now FIGHT OR FLIGHT. So we favor the right side of our body to fight off a threat. The question is, why and how did it get there in the first place, how did it not get back to parasympathetic and back into left stance, safe stance. That’s the big question. Trauma, dental, vision,maybe even spiritual metaphysical causes? Regardless.. our brain feels unsafe so we practice getting into safe positions to reassure the brain we are safe so we can integrate it into walking life. Maybe that’s why some people can heal and others need to make changes in their life, environment, relationships, because it can keep the brain BACK INTO feeling unsafe … back into old patterns.. but these techniques/exercises help us feel safe to make the change too. Thank you so much for Your videos and insights and deep thoughts!❤❤❤

Looking far and closer is naturally done when doing multiple things during your day and getting out in the nature so our eyes can both work in what they were designed for. We have been separated from nature and we are paying a price.

Heartbreak -> inability to dance alone in the dark, eyes closed, unsupported. Instead we become rational cold machines focusing only on sheer survival, left sides frozen, wider perspectives shut down as our hopes and fears.

Your channel is a life saver! Had been dealing with pain for my entire life. I think that what is even more encouraging the common pattern is that my left leg is a little shorter than my right, you can identify it easily cause my knees aren’t the same height. Also, what would you think about right and left eyes with the same number, but with also a cylinder only on the left eye which makes that eye seeing way worse. I already noticed my jaw is opening and closing with a weird asymmetrical movement so I’m checking that with my dentist. Oh and since i can remember i have this weird knot like a ball on my left lower back near the pelvis. I have a strong feeling that’s caused cause of stress from miss alignment.

Neal... Thank you for your videos! Question... Would using monovision contacts contribute to the AIC problem? For about 15 years, I have worn the right contact lens for near vision, and the left contact lens for distance vision. I am cross-dominant... right handed, left eye dominant. If wearing this arrangement for my contacts has contributed to my left AIC pattern, would wearing regular contacts in both eyes, or glasses, be a beneficial step to help correct the problem? If so, how long would it take to see improvement? I look forward to your answer and information!!!

Any thoughts on the Bates Method for eye health? I am thinking about doing it and wondering if it will help with all my other symptoms.

hey neal! was watching your videos for past 6 months! I have a question I clearly have Right Tmcc pattern, but the problem is my vision is complete opposite as described in the video, my left eye is nearsighted and I can't see far away with my left eye but left eye can see near objects clearlt, and I can clearly see at far objects with my right eye but objects that are near are blurry with right eye, can you please tell what's the issue??

Hey Neal, firstly i wanna thank you for all the videos you make. I have a question. Are you familiar with the visual snow syndrome? Ive had it for 7-8 years now and just recently I learned about postural restoration and now i wonder if PR could help VSS sufferers.

oh my god. was shocked to read your comment. I suffer from this too. at least the last 8/9 years. the worse my pain / worse alignment, the worse my visions been getting - i think the "snow" is exacerbated by severe neck/jaw tension ..... all that straining has to contribute to the rapid decline in vision imo. I have severe TMJ (i am a singer/songwriter.. Who does pretty physical labour to support myself - improper form, overworking + health issues has wrecked me over a decade) the strain on all my neck/back/jaw caused me to get vocal nodules, extreme mucous which rendered me unable to breathe thru my nose, & gave me "tinnitus"/ cotton-filled ears; unable to hear, unable to sing/ speak (without getting 'laryngitis') unable to breathe! its been a long journey, years of therapeutics/ pharmaceuticals never solving my issues, to get here. sorry for ramble. maybe you relate to something. im curious. Do you have significant misalignment issues?? ( like that are obvious/ known to you) Ive just started seeing someone who works in pri, after seeing a bunch of Neals vids (thank GOD) & feeling like i completely lined up with that left AIC pattern/ L torsion. looks like thats correct for me. trying to determine whether it stems from jaw misalignment/ or pelvic tilt. i know i have both from many years of X-rays/docs/chiro lol. was told 11 yrs ago i have "slight scoliosis' curve to the left. my torso is rotated to left & one pelvic bone pops out more than the other (& i only sense my left canine, teeth are straight. no braces ever. but i remember in childhood my right canine shifting out a bit. and my dentist saying is was no big deal. teeth dont touch it though.) i have fibromyalgia (in addition to other shit) THE ONLY TIME I DONT SEE SNOW. is when i take my sleeping pill !!!!!!!! its the strangest thing... so ive has chronic sleep disorder since infancy.. Im sure the primary source of my ailing health.... anyway. a few years ago i started taking Zopiclone ( a non benzo sleeping pill ) the only thing of the many meds ive been on that has helped me sleep restoratively - I was shocked to discover, when this med kicks in. it loosens majority of my muscle tension & THE SNOW GOES AWAY. AND I CAN SEE. when did the snow start for you? was there an event that occurred and it started happening? or did is sneak up of you? I started wondering one day ,before i ever had heard of VSS, "man did i always see like this?" ive still not pin pointed the origin certainly. but im wondering too if its a side affect of misalignment. omg a novel. i wish you luck in your healing.

Hi Neal, I'm getting my prism glasses this month! I'm already with a PRI trainer in Germany, but she doesn't know things about the inhibition of vision and prisms on PRI.. Do I have to do something different or just do the PRI excersices she teaches me, while wearing the glasses? Would like to hear man, I'm a bit stuck with a pri trainer without this knowledge about vision.

I have amblyopia since a child. My right eye was very nearsighted and left farsighted. My eye wasn’t the turning type but I was told it was in my brain much like you describe. I was to wear a patch over the right eye to train it to be stronger. Unfortunately as a child I struggled with this and had to wear correction all my life. Cataract surgery helped me to see better and balance the two eyes a bit. I’m thinking the corrective lenses you speak of and the patch idea was based on the same beliefs here. Thoughts?

Hey Neal! I want to let you know that what you're doing is priceless and selfless. I really appreciate the immense amount of information you have shared. I am a speech pathologist from HK and I am treating a lot of TMJD. And I have taken the pelvsi restoration and postural respiration course from PRI.

Then I learned from you that i have to SOLVE THE RTMCC PATTERN so that they body can 'let go'. How amazing is this! I am just 'taking away their bite/ vision', then their HG IR increased immediately. Thank you so much for your sharing. Just that one of my friend wants to know the reference for 'our brain uses too little of our L eye', would you have one?

I am very myopic (-6.00) so the distance is always blurry for me! I'm not sure I understood correctly but is this some sort of advantage??

Is permanently wearing glasses the only solution to this issue? What about contacts? Just had a PRI consultation today (I have left aic) and my cranium and bite evened out after covering one eye (my right is blurry, left is fine) just scheduled an eye exam but not sure what to be looking out for

Could this have a good chance of happening when driving for a job?

I feel like trying to relax my left eye helps loosen things up abit. Any advice ?

@NealHallinan

Жыл бұрын

I don't think scanning the road in the distance would be problematic. In fact, looking in the distance is the most relaxed state our eyes can be in. Looking up close is more problematic. Relaxing eyes is definitely a good thing, though. We find visual patterns usually when there is some sort of "pathology" in the body, excessive ranges of motion where they shouldn't be found.

You need to be evaluated by a PRI therapist. That isn't a common presentation, so there is some extra compensation going on.

@NielHallinan Its funny with the visual system.. I have tried the thing with taking my glasses off, and getting WAY more flexibilty.. I tried the squad from earlier videos, and some other movement excersices from ZHealth... But thats all good, but If I keep my glasses off and take a walk, then it "nulls out", and when I then put my glasses back on, it reverses. So better movement with glasses than without. Is that because the visual system at first, as you mention, tries to use the peripheral vision, but when 15 minutes has gone by, it again uses the "long/narrow" vision? and then when I put on my glasses again, the vision has to adapt again, and then does the thing you mention with , not being able to see clearly in the long/ranged/narrow vision, and tries to mitigate with the peripheral vision?

When I do visualisations I can never see the left hand side in my minds eye. I also think of right as future and left as past. My whole body is stuck tight to point whole spine is stuck in extension. No idea where to start. Do you do online consults?
