Thank you for this great information! And thank god for KZread, I might never have found half the information I’ve sought out in trying to reform my body

I love the one exercise against the wall. It restores my alignment so that everything else along my shoulders and all along my spine loosens. Will be taking this to the tennis court during tense moments when I need more looseness. Thank u. You’re truly one of a kind.

dont know why this guy is not at more views + subs. he explains everythign in a easy to understand yet practical and academic level

I've watched hundreds of videos but this man is amazing...his info is correct, easy to understand, he speaks perfectly, and has changed my 50 years of thinking..all the best......when Im rich, I'll find you and give you a donation

I really appreciate this video! You are the first medicine or sports medicine professional to accurately recognize and describe my chronic pain. Awesome content, looking forward to more!

the first exercise, when done correctly, causes me to feel my breath all the way in my upper back. haven't felt that in a long time thank you.

Honestly one of the best vid tutorials in general on yt

well done, man. you're and your work is such an inspiration, especially at your age...

This is the key video I needed

This seems like good advice. I had been battling arm/hand nerve pain over the past 3 years, only recently to be correctly assessed and treated for thoracic outlet syndrome... basically neck and shoulder posture issues. One overlooked, unusual symptom I've had is sporadic diaphragm "jumping" (causing a small gasp for air). None of the therapists I've mentioned it to made the connection to my other posture issues. Thanks Conor.

​@@Gaida98 well I'm guessing the effects of his forward head posture went away?

So many advise chin tucks etc being the solution…worked them in for over a year w no results. THIS stuff has undeniably helped me within 1 month + now I understand the underlying issue infinitely better 🙏🏼

This is exactly what I needed!!!!!! 👍🏿💪🏿👍🏿

We have been waiting for this one! This will get many views because many of us have forward head posture 💯 💯

Thanks for the info! Do chest building exercises worsen this problem?

Hi, conor surely you have trained or advised people with the PRI and strength exercises, do you know people who have really corrected this problem?, but when you really feel the neck it feels like a position that was curved becomes straight?, a hug and thanks for the videos

thanks for creating this channel and making these videos man. if I may ask how can i turn off my left pec? it seems to be more tense than my right pec. thanks man :)

Hey Conor this page is awesome. What do you think about doing these exercises but still having to work at a computer a lot of the day. Does that posture negate the benefits of this or is it still a good starting point anyway?

You must get up and move every 20 minutes. Leaning forward at a computer desk compresses your chest down into your ribcage and causes the root problem Connor talks about. Microsoft used to attach labels onto earlier products warning not to sit at the computer for more than 20 minutes at a time. There is no perfectly ergonomic way to sit at a computer all day so you have to manage it the best you can. There's a good reason why tradesmen generally have better postures than office workers

It’s low key terrifying to hear I’m suffocating from a KZread video.

VERY slightly haha. You will survive

Hi Conor, do I understand correctly that the shoulders/upper back are supposed to be kind of rounded forward during these exercises? Normally I try to correct my bad posture of rounded shoulders and head forward by doing the opposite and pushing the shoulders back and down

What happens when you have forward shoulders and compressed pecs BUT also upper back pain with flared ribcage?

Ur a real anomaly in the timeline. ❤

Fab video - thanks. If done regularly, how long does it take for the neck muscles to turn off?

Wouldn’t some fascial release of tissue either side of spine mid back before doing above make these exercises more effective? Earnest question btw

How do you keep the pec off in that position?

Are you familiar with Pectus Excavatum? This is a condition I feel might be quite prone to many of the breathing issues you talk about.

Should we press our hands hard into the floor ??

how many times a week?

Can this happen unilaterally ?

I see the blazers stuff, where are you located? I'm in eugene Oregon. good stuff man!

If you do them every day for 3-5 sets of 5 breaths, you should see visual improvements in ~2-4 weeks

My ribcage doesn't seem to expand, ascend or descend.. Forward head posture mixed with anterior pelvic tilt mixed with rib flare + pectus excavatum is just annoying and I don't know where to start

lol same

I thought maloclussion(TMD) was the core cause of such an issue

This is trauma that causes this probably from early in life. Our body carries trauma in our body until we can release it.

If tight pecs are the underlying cause, why not just stretch the pecs instead of turning them off?

Any cues to help keep the pecs off ?? Having trouble not engaging the pecs ...

I've read something to do with teeth affecting the airway make problems. I'm fact teeth placement can affect the way your airway works

Tru. But more like the maxilla, or the bone the teeth attach to. Mike Mew covers this extensively. You can search "mewing" for more info. His channel is called Orthotropics.(it is technically not aligned with the orthodontics consensus, but his approach seems sound to me - and has shown results to me, tho, its taken quite some time cos I didnt start young)

4:35 no matter how many time I rewatch it, I still can't understand how to do this exercise

Can wrong orthodontic work be a causal factor ? Look at mewing

Do you actually have an example of someone that has decades of forward head posture and is able to correct it? Every single video and guide just has someone with perfect posture mimicking forward head posture then standing up straight. It's not that easy for someone that has decades of poor posture and has trouble straightening up even with force. When I straighten up and put my back/head against the wall, my Adam's apple juts out and my neck makes this bowed shape and I can feel my nasopharyngeal airway tighten. I cannot force my neck into a perfect upright position. I appreciate the effort, but I have never seen a before and after example of someone that actually has decades long poor posture be able to correct it.

I hear you. I think it’s important to consider that the visual presentation of posture is much less important than the actual movement capabilities of the structures involved. The visual presentation can improve more or less depending on age and how long they’ve had it. However, nearly everyone can improve range of motion and movement options to some extent. That’s what counts

I was at that point, but I did the chin exercises as much as I remembered for a week, I got frustrated because I did it too many times and I didn't get any changes, but I still continued, I felt like my vertebrae were coming together until later I combined it with exercises of scapular retraction and putting in the chin, I couldn't believe it I could finally breathe in that position, currently I have a forward head but at least I don't have that suffocation, it should be noted that I also have a left aic pattern and the breathing I have also helped me a little a week so I hope I manage to solve it

​@@robk9330 hello, I did do those exercises but before learning about PRI, I felt how my vertebrae rearranged themselves and my neck did not hurt when I slept, currently I am still doing the PRI techniques to get out of the left aic pattern and I feel a lot of improvement although sitting for a long time does not help, I will also start doing strength exercises and correct the pattern faster, psdt has been 2 and a half weeks since I started PRI.

ahhh, another thing, how long did it take you to get out of the left aic pattern? I think that having your head forward and having already gotten out of the pattern can help with the ATHLEAN X exercises, that is, the chin tuck exercises, because Jessie had a horrible posture but she corrected it
