This is the kind of perspective that can only come from having personal experience with it. Most doctors would NEVER be able to begin to imagine all that is going on. Most would just say "well, your X rays look fine, your MRI didn't show anything, but we'll send you to PT where they will have you do condescending exercises that hurt you more/flare up your symptoms and then the doc will offer you gabapentin and you owe us thousands of dollars. Fantastic!

@Adam Swink temporal mandibular joint, dysfunction...

Ever since orthodontic treatment at an early age, I remember telling my dentist and parents that I had lost my bite on the right side after treatment but no one took me seriously because nothing ever showed up on my dental exams. But hey, at least my teeth were straight... Years passed and I progressively began to lose ranges of motion on my right side eventually losing the ability to produce force up and down the chain on my right; It's hard to quantify but it's easily more than 50% of my strength. It started with my right jaw, then my right shoulder, my right ankle came next, and then my hip and spine. I've spent thousands of dollars on chiros, PTs, acupuncturists, podiatrists, etc. all to no avail. Intuitively my mind and body would always come back to my jaw - I just knew it was all connected and that my jaw must also be taken into consideration but it never was and nothing every helped. After years of seeking help and finding none, I stopped seeking altogether. Fast forward 10+ years and I'm a completely different person. I'm unreasonably anxious and scared at times which is really weird. I can't seem to put on weight no matter how hard I try. I've become a very light sleeper and developed food sensitivities which makes rest and digest hard to come by. I suppose this is the body in a chronic sympathetic state. Your videos are the first I've seen to connect the jaw with everything else just as I've always believed. Thank you for the video and thank you for your time 🙏

Thanks so much for the info!

Absolutely great stuff! I'm a massage therapist and am always telling people how their muscles are interconnected, so sometimes I may have to work a different area of their body before I even touch the one they want.

Finalllyyy!! Someone is talking about this. This is how i've been intuitevely interpreting my issue but unfortunately 11 years and i still haven't found one doctor or therapist that understood this. We need more people like you! You made my day. Looking forward to watch all your videos and book an online consultation if this is an option. Please keep going ❤

I'm in disbelief because I have been suffering for a good many years from severe postural issues that ultimately caused to to attempt suicide and I have never heard anyone discuss these problems in the depth I understand it now from my own problems. Without telling the full story (it is a very long story) I fell and bumped my chin hard when I was a young kid, then grew up with jaw problems (like cracking in the TMJ) and postural problems (very tight hip flexors & hamstrings, forward head posture, kyphosis, etc). This all then got infinitely worse when I had surgery to repair a ruptured ACL, and then my postural problems got so bad I could feel my body moving out of position all the time. It's incredibly psychologically and physically distressing, and since no medical professionals could find the issue I got diagnosed with psychiatric conditions. During all this time I had lost a significant amount of height from my body being so misaligned and looking nothing like I did before. I gathered my own information from trial and error that it was a large issue with my jaw mostly, but I couldn't fix it myself and suffered for 13 years with this condition. 2 years ago I jumped from 5 stories in an attempt to end my life, but survived, only to have broken my jaw and bones in my face, femur, dislocating my right elbow, and I spent around 2 1/2 months strapped down to a hospital bed in a dissociative state. My body is now an even bigger wreck than it was before, but I've managed to make it better (but it's still pretty bad). When it's at it's absolute worst I actually cannot physically breathe (I feel like I'm literally suffocating inside my body), and any small motion has the chance to make things "move out of place" quite easily. I look so physically strange now that I get so many stares when I go outdoors, so I avoid going outside at all costs! I'm better both physically and psychologically now, but it's still extremely difficult to deal with, made even worse by the fact that virtually nobody else fully understands physically what I'm going through. I thought there wasn't anyone who understood the body to this extent like what I have suffered through, so I'm definitely going to check more of your content out, and maybe there might actually be hope for me to finally get help after decades of living in this absolute nightmarish hell.

I had many instability issues, and most were fixed by eating the proper amount of protein for the weight I wanted to be at as well as doing the following lifts. Rear deltoid fly (machine), inclined bench (30 degrees or less) with dumbbells and going very deep to past the chest for the 'hunch' up top. Pull up hangs once able to do without pain is also great but not easily done at the start. Lower body wise, bulgarian split squats (start on the weaker side and do the same reps for the 'stronger' side to even out), hip thrusts, farmers walks (1/4 bodyweight of dumbbells in each hand and slowly walk heel to toe with straight back and looking straight) and squats all helped to correct me from 'gamer hunch' to shoulders nice and back straight as well as walking smooth.

I’ve been saying this for years, orthondics is causing a lot of this by reinforcing jaw misalignment, which for some ppl is very extreme. It’s a conundrum because orthodontists removed 14 permanent teeth from my mouth in 1970 . This lasted 5 years before everything was removed, bands braces etc..that’s just mideavel. I feel like they should concentrate on a compromise where you look fine but not perfect. Depending on the severity looking perfect isn’t worth all the damage , and pain . It is not corrective except in appearance for most people

To treat tmj, need to expand palate and then keep teeth in light contact for 6+ hrs per day. I had mild symptoms of tmj (clicking and grinding of jaw joint) which have subsided simply by keeping teeth lightly together all day and keeping tongue on roof of mouth.

Wow. I’ve been wondering where my tmj came from - getting worse and worse over time… I broke my left leg twice when I was 5 years old and had to relearn walking 2x.

I consider them a part of my headache symptoms, hence why I require accommodations at school to test in dark rooms. I didn't bring up any of my ocular pain, so I'm very curious how you concluded that? And what sort of vision problem might you suspect?

I have the same situation, I'm stretching my hamstrings which is helping a lot.

WOW this is crazy. I'm having all these issues with my right shoulder and had braces when I was younger, but am getting orthodontic treatment again because my bite is so messed up and my jaw is moving to the right and causing facial asymmetry. I do think it's all connected even though the doctors aren't putting it together, EVEN THOUGH I'M TELLING THEM

I don't really know what my condition would be. I watched a lot of videos and all self assessment tests are negative, maybe because I'm very flexible to begin with. The issue I feel is the worst for me is that on my right side (where the hip is higher and tends to rotate inwards when the right leg moves forward while walking) the glutes are off. Doing a side plank on the right has almost not glute activation. I stay in that position mostly because I use my abs. The left side is completely fine. The glutes are working as intended stabilizing the hip. I don't really suffer any pain but the whole right side from the ripcage an the front down to the hip all around to the back is just tight. I have a lot of stretchign exercises but some lost their effectiveness. I feel I've taken a lot of stress out of this whole area but it's not a solution

Very good Info. Thank you.I suffered with TMJ over half of my life. I know exactly what you're describing re braces being adjusted when you're lying backwards. I always thought it was wrong to take mold of teeth in that position,etc. I hoped someone would someday say what I knew to be true. So much money spent , chiropractic, P.T. braces 2x yes, small palate, I always felt my tongue too long for my mouth. Horrible pain radiating over top of my ear down Into trap. Muscle. Multiple afternoon trips to ER for manor headaches.ugh! Hope still go our , atlas axis instability still persist today at age 64.. I started this journey at 27 years old. I a lap had to have c spine We've blocks just to work, brain for forever. Hope by reading my symptoms others can get help. I'm too broke now to go to specialists. Good luck all and blessings.

Interesting. I had issues with my left foot since birth. When I started physical therapy for it, an old jaw injury got reactivated and my gums spit out suture that was in there for over 20 years. Now I understand why this is happening. The body is one hell of a self correcting mechanism given the chance

Man thank you so much I’m 17 and been suffering back spasms neck pain back pain lower back pain and hip pain and everything got worse from sports. I played lacrosse track amd football and weightlifting for football lemme tell you I felt Brocken I didn’t wanna do anything I thought this was life. Oh and I had problems with my acl and meniscus and mcl but I never tore them thankfully and when going to a physical therapist he found that my neck was fcuked up my hips where messed up my shoulders were messed up and my left quad under developed and now everything is getting better my face feels more symmetrical my walk is way better I feel my inner ass oh and also it doesn’t feel werid to laugh or shit and when listening to this video I realized that my neck pain started after I got my cavity filled or what ever they do for cavity’s I had 6 of them worked on and after 2 weeks I had neck pain than my shoulder felt funky but I told someone about it and they said oh your just a kid you don’t know true pain. Whoever says this shit is a idiot. And after one football season I felt lopsided so I think everything started when I got dental work done. I’m just glad that I didn’t really do this to my self. If you feel werid or ducked up go to a physical therapist( I’m lucky to get such a good one he was very intelligent with his practice he’s been doing it for a while you can tell ) his name is Rick at seatttle hill physical therapist if you want a good one he’s the guy not a big place with hella equipment he just knows what he’s doing

Any type of dental work that leaves your brain sensing your bite as “uneven” can result in neck dysfunction that spreads to the rest of the body. It’s real. People are just ignorant. You aren’t crazy.

Hey Neal! Thanks for your videos! You give hope to lot of us. Can tmjd that causes no pain at face or jaw, end up changing body posture? You mention in videos that you needed a splint, but did you use to have jaw or face pain before starting using the splint?

This is amazing information. Thank you.

You're welcome.

I have scoliosis, which has resulted in rotational curve that twists most severely at L5-S1 nerve root. I’ve had damage done from a fall at work. This resulted in my stable scoliosis becoming unstable and damaging the motor and sensory nerves in my right leg. I’m right handed dominant so I have a massive QL muscle on my right side that often spasms. So I’m a house of card’s literally. 8 years ago I had an accident that caused damage to my good hip in my left. This has caused me great disability. I was lucky that I wasn’t injured more severely from a trailer losing hardiplank siding that flew into my lane from the opposite lane. I got out of the way otherwise it would have come through the windshield at my head. Instead I quickly move into the right lane. I had BOTH hands on the wheel and both eyes in the road. The damage to my left hip was substantial needing surgery to correct. I am born crooked and even though I have a lot of pain and muscle spasms I still retail mobility in my joints. I need regular treatments from Accupuncture to chiropractor and Reiki, in addition to my regular doctor and a pain specialist

All your videos have blown my mind! They make complete sense. I have Hypermobile Ehlers Danlos, so I already struggle to know where my joints are in space. I have been trapped in a L AIC pattern for years, I grind my teeth at night, I pronate more on my left foot and find it hard to pronate on the right. I have a lot of neck pain and tension. You have opened a new door for me after years of pain and struggle with seeing lots of different professionals. I am a personal trainer and your videos are a huge help in me moving forward, and for my clients too. Question, will the neck sort itself out if I return to neutral?

@NealHallinan

Ehlers Danlos is tough to deal with because of the hypermobility. The neck will sort itself if a body is able to get neutral, yes, but sometimes the neck is the limiting factor. I talk about this in my most recent video.

I had serious problems with lateral pelvic tilt .muscle imbalances .anterior pelvic tilt .walking was painful .I felt like I had lead in my legs ..went to a physio and exercised three to four times a week hard. Stretches single leg squats and every pelvis movement you could think of..I had this problem for ten months .due to hard work I'm now back to normal .so don't give up hope .I incorporated some of there movements too .but it was good old fashioned physio that got me better .and slot of hard work.so don't give up ..I thought I'd never be able to walk without pain again but I'm as straight as a die.

First of all, great video. Now, I can checkmark that I have everything that is described. Lateral pelvic tilt to the right (with shoulder lower in the heightened side), tight back and neck, overuse of lats and obliques in compensating side (I train with weights and my overused side constantly gets injured somehow), jaw that is "out of sync" and problems with my ears as well. I got it all. Now, I have no idea who to seek out for this kind of thing. Should I start with a basic physio? What kind of professional would typically be able to help with this?

I have the same problem you describe in the vid, how do i get it fixed, im not from the u.s

Thanks for this video. I have something very similar. And had spoke to a few doctors and two of them said it is just a normal deviation. And another said she didnt find anything wrong... I have given up on going to the doctors and explaining/exploiting myself body for nothing. Is it because idont have the right insurance? Or is it because they dont want any part of it presuming i couldnt pay them enough for them to care or look into it? I dont know. ... But for the time being, before finding your videos, i had been trying to fix it myself with exercises and breath work and stretches. A lot of crazy stuff had been happening that is beyond my understanding. but sadly, my posture remains unchanged it not worse..

Everything Neal just said is every issue I am having, I look exactly like Neal in his example photo from before he fixed these issues. The right side of my jaw pops constantly and is incredibly painful and my neck is very tight, also my massage therapist always says my hips are misaligned. The whole right side of my body is way weaker than my left and Ive been led to believe by a few different specialists that its due to my impinged shoulder on my right side, which is also incredibly painful, especially at work. I have tried everything to correct my posture including band work, stretching, extensive physio including IMS and other methods to release tight muscles on my right side. Ive worked with a few different kineseologists but nothing has worked. Can anyone on here give me a few tips on how to go about fixing this? Im kind of desperate at this point tbh. I want to get back to lifting heavy and being able to go to work without pain.

There is no CLEAR videos of which way my pelvis is facing. When i stand straight facing forwarded looking in a mirror my left leg is 3 inch back.... if move my left leg forward my shoulders face. Does this mean my pelvis is facing to the right or left?

So could there be a stretch of the head and neck that could couple with a hip and leg stretch to rebalance or is it more complicated then that.

Mr Hallinan, you need to write a book. Also, do you have any online training videos? How about a clinic where we can see you for a assessment? Thanks.

I feel like this is the problem with me, my left side drops but how do i fix this?? What excirsices can i do?

I've got a structural leg length difference, as well as a lateral pelvic tilt. Which came first?😫

How do we fix the misaligned jaw

About 3 years ago I had an extremely bad shoulder injury that started out feeling like TMJ for quite a while. It all started when I worked for this heavier elder patient doing homecare. She weighed about 250lbs and she would fall alot and couldnt get up herself. The normal thing to do is call ambulence and wait for them to lift her up but I felt bad and always lifted her back up myself. I did this for a year with no issues or pain everything felt normal. Eventually one day I noticed my right side was getting tighter and at one point my face getting tighter which eventually led to a serious injury. I went to my PCP and dentist and they both said something regarding TMJ and doing exercises for it. After trying that for 2 weeks and the pain getting worse I gave up. The tightness got so bad one day that my entire right side of my body went cold and numb and I literally thought I was dying. I had an extreme muscle spasm and could no longer lift my neck at all anymore. I went to the hospital and these people saw me in pain, not able to lift my neck, clearly lopsided body and they told me everything was fine and gave me a muscle relaxer and extra strength Tylenol. I went to several hospitals after that and had EKGs and X-rays done but all of them told me I was fine while I was CLEARLY not. For the next 2 months after coming out of the hospital I would constantly get numbness and tingling feelings in the right side and I was living with unbearable pain to the point I would just take an oxy twice a day so I was knocked out for 90% of the day. I couldnt lift my neck at all without a ton of pain and I couldnt fall asleep without oxy bc while laying down I could feel everything in my body was terribly wrong and it scared the living shit out of me. Anytime I was awake was spent in extreme pain trying to do some type of workout to relieve the pain. After 2 months or so the pain went from a 50/10 to like a 6 or so and it was manageable while staying awake so I stopped taking oxy and focus on trying to fix things. Fastforward to today (3 yrs later) and I still feel this to a much lesser extent. My right side is tighter, my right leg is turned outward while my left is inward, my right arm ALWAYS looks pumped with veins while the left doesnt look worked at all. Whats been helping me after MANY trial and error to alleviate the pain is a ton of stretching, working out the left side forearm and working out my right side shoulder/back. Somehow someway this has had noticable effect and it actually feels like some day I may be able to live without this constant aching again. Still to this day I dont know exactly what happened and no medical professional gave me any insight so I had to figure out all of this myself. Hopefully my experience helps someone or I find someone whos been through a similar experience to shed light on what may have happened to me because I still dont know.

I highly recommend finding a Postural Restoration Institute certified PT to help you. You are describing the pattern of right dominance that I talk about in this video. My entire channel is about this discipline.

Hey Neil would you be able to make a video detailing proper exercises to improve scapula control and how to properly fix shoulders from rounding forward. I feel like all 4 pri exercises have helped me tremendously in improving right shoulder internal rotation and pain relief in general. But recently iv been noticing that the fear of going to back into rib extension + my already badly developed posture has resulted in me becoming slightly hunched over. I dont want to go for the standard rear deltoids, hanging scapula shrugs and upper pec isolation exercises, as i just dont want to do something that could ever bring me back into extension and even bring back half the pain i used to feel when stuck in left aic right bc pattern.

The problem is that there is no one technique that will work for everybody. Without working with someone directly, I really can't know what would work. What may work for one person may not work for another because their challenges will be different. The best thing you can do for a right shoulder is have a stable pelvis .

Hi Neal, thanks so much for sharing your experience with us. I got the chills watching this video, especially hearing the constellation of symptoms & seeing your past photo, because it looks exactly like what I've been seeing in the mirror for the past 7 years. My symptoms started with the right TMJ, and very quickly progressed to an intense soreness in my back. I then noticed that my pelvis was rotated to the left, that my right hip was higher than the left, and my right shoulder/ribcage was lower than the left. No amount of PT/RMT/chiro helped. I was wondering - have you ever experienced either directly or indirectly via your patients any lateral cranial tilt of your skull to the left? Is this a common symptom that's associated with a right lateral pelvic tilt? It leads to a lot of pulling and soreness in my right suboccipital/trapezius areas. Looking forward to hearing your expert insight and thank you in advance. Please upvote so he can see this comment :)

A "lateral cranial tilt" are actually called "cranial strain patterns", so that's what I technically had. They can be classified as occurring on the left or right. So yes, the jaw can be rotated to the left as well. In Postural Restoration it's called the Right TMCC pattern. I'd highly recommend you find a PRI therapist to help you. It's complicated to resolve.
