Its so absurd that I catched myself walking normally when I walk on the street with my mind occupied with thinking. Exactly at the moment I realise that I'm walking normally BUM I start dragging my right foot.

OMG your video hits the spot in all the same places I’m suffering with. Big toes don’t bend/ touch the floor, right arch higher than my left, feet fall out when lying down (no IR), tight upper traps, neck breathing, anterior tilt, left pain in shoulder and piriformus, hip flexor tightness. More recently jaw tightness and my right canine tooth noticeably sticks out so much too.…I think this has shifted more in the last 6 months. Also can’t seem to engage my breath all the way down to my pelvic floor and no back rib expansion. My right hand and wrist hurt, and my right eye twitches too! I now think my issues started in 2019 when I first suffered with right temporal headaches and maybe became a mouth & neck breather after several left ankle sprains over the last 10 years. Working from home with flat floors and in front of a screen too. I really need to see someone like you but there’s nobody PRI certified in the UK 😢

Hey, Neal I been watching your videos for a long time. I went and saw a PRI PT in Monterey, CA 4 months ago and I saw him 4 times. It was a great experience and he said I just need to see him one more time. All the exercises he gave me for homework cause major changes and my body. He said that I should be all good to go and back to powerlifting. But to be sure to see him one more time. People this stuff works and I'm 95-98 percent healed and it feel amazing. I just gotta do this months homework(exercises) that I got.

Thank you, Neal. I discovered you on YT months ago, I have no idea why. I seldom watch videos like yours, but YT Algy decided in your case, I must. Now I have to tell you, your constant use of technical terms made what you were saying very hard to understand though I am reasonably well educated. I persisted and began to consciously straighten my walk, my spine, my height-shoulders back with tucked in tailbone. It takes 13 steps to walk my hallway. There I practice when I walk from the living room to the kitchen and back, a frequent occurrence. To correct that left big toe dominance thing, I’d walk saying “heel, ball of foot, heel, *center* ball, heel, ball, heel, ball.” In the beginning more than once I had to reach for the hallway walls to keep balance. That left toe dominance is insistent! That alone astounded me. Walking since a baby and I still haven’t learned how?! I knew it was working when I bit down one day and bit into my left cheek. I began to practice shifting my jaw over to the right, hoping to straighten my bite. I know I’m a work in progress but your instructions have helped so much. Calluses on the side of my feet have not returned after I removed them with file and lotion after every shower. A strange pain in my left leg has mostly disappeared. It’s now slight infrequent twinge just signals me to not forget the hallway practice. Thanks again and may all who watch you experience similar benefit. Blessings.

Good to speak to you the other day Neal! The pearl of wisdom "you have a stopping problem not a movement problem" has been ringing in my ears ever since you said it. Completely changed the way I view PRI and the resulting patterns from the stress response caused by (too) asymmetrical lateralisation

I had this problem since I was nine years old which cause pinched nerves that cause sensitivity to the cold and heat. Through out the years it cause depression, muscle aches, muscle weakness, knee pain. I’ve been watching yours videos and with that I was able to figured out what is actually going on.

I've been walking barefoot my whole life. But I only began wearing barefoot shoes a couple of years ago. My barefoot habit made it easy to wear barefoot shoes. I already know how to walk normally barefoot as humans have done for millions of years. So, to put it simply, if you know how to walk barefoot like humans evolved to walk, barefoot shoes are awesome. The problem is most modern people no longer know how to walk barefoot, not to mention their feet have been structurally altered by modern shoes and they have weak foot muscles.

I have every single symptom you have AND I have the right torsion/head twist to the right and the bend to the right, going toward my right shoulder. My right side is dominating my entire body. Over the past 2 or so years the torsion has become increasingly worse, I guess.. because it’s twisting my esophagus, and my organs, I can feel it. I have a hard time using the restroom now, #1 & #2 and I’m developing ED, I’m 29yo… I’ve lived with the pain my entire life as I believe this stems from a head/neck injury when I was 6yo.. but the OCD and mental fog/discombobulation of not seeing/feeling centered is eating away at who I used to be. I can’t even think. The ‘fight or flight’ is unbearable. Heart rate is constantly spiked and mouth dry 24/7. I’ve gone to a PRI specialist 3 times now and he’s recommended a dentist I should see about a splint. I just pray that my cranium gets fixed. I used to be so alive and happy & outgoing. The orthotics I got ($500) have slightly turned off the left side of my neck and allow me to swallow/breathe a bit better. I just want to say thank you so much because I never knew what was wrong with me and it makes you feel actually insane. Thank you.

@@jakobblake6860 I've started seeing a chiropractor. Turns out my right hip is higher, my right side of my lumbar spine is a bit fucked and same for my right neck vertebrae. The biggest shock was just how locked down my hips were. Even after multiple sessions the range of motion change is slow despite strong adjustments. Also I didn't realise how much my body wanted to release the tension in my neck, was really necessary. You might be in a similar position to me. I have done stretching, massage gun and pri techniques for 2 years on my own but I simply could not get my hips to align no matter what I did. I guess I'd compensated for so long that even when I felt like I was generating movement I either wasn't or it was extremely small. After initial assesment I've been advised 2 sessions a week for 3 weeks then 1 session for 3 weeks then after that should just be routine check up appointments. Had 4 sessions so far 2 being part of this treatment course and I can definitely tell I'm gaining movement in my spine and hips and I have increased sensation around my spine, it used to be a dull sort of feeling when my spine and surrounding area was touched, now I can feel him actually going between the vertebrae and exactly where it is.

That's an interesting issue, because in the normal pattern, the left eye loves to focus centrally and the right eye loves to focus ambiently, and one of the goals is get the left eye paying more attention to the periphery and the right eye pay attention focally (which is associated with being in "left stance").

⁠​⁠@@NealHallinanI’m not entirely sure all the terminology so apologies, I think I am in the boat you mentioned I’m right hand and side dominant, though I have noticed since my vision going a bit weird the left side of body feels slightly more dominant and like everything is connected how it normally is but my ride side feels like like a stroke nothing is in cooperation or functioning properly, if it’s not too much trouble to ask, what would that sound like to you or am I just overly conscious of it now perhaps than before? Not sure tbh.

Neal, I figured out that my left eye was slighlyt more close than the right. This indirectly caused the right side of my body to rotate towards the midline. When I raise my eye, it stopped. However it's not the eye. Squinting or opening the eye caused my ears to shift every so slightly, which is connected to the vestibular system.

The amount of overanalyzing I'm about to do lol but totally cool info. I never heard the skull and hips being similar but of different regions.

The exercises didn’t do anything for me either. Makes sense why though because whatever is holding me into this pattern is far stronger than what any 90/90 hip shift and adductor pullback exercises can do. I have strange variations of the pattern too. Left eye is the dominant eye and it feels like I’m ignoring the right eye a lot. The right eye also appears more squinted on me which is another deviation from the norm. My mandible’s midline deviates to the left when closed and then right when opened all the way, but an even weirder thing is I can close my left eye and force my right eye to be used for focusing and that causes my midline deviation to relax almost entirely and my occlusion feels more aligned. No one around my area, even the PRI provider I saw had any idea what to tell me really. It seems like the PRI providers who refer or collaborate with dentists or optometrists are very few & far between. It’s very frustrating because I know there’s bound to be something that can help me - probably in the form of splint therapy and some form of glasses that shuts down and reverses the visual pattern I’m in - but finding people who knows what they’re doing who collaborates with dentists or optometrists is a luck of the draw situation.

At this point im not sure if it was the chicken or the egg. I broke my jaw and had it wired and then splinted to solve my resulting tmj problems. Problem was it was splinted so that i lost molar sense. Then i had bunion surgery on my left foot (no pt after of course aince i was only 21 and would surely figure out how to walk properly again 🙄) so now have a left big toe that doesnt touch the ground and is stiff.

Another great video! I’m curious, you mention you had a significant regression during peak Covid, but outside of factors like a world shut down, I am wondering if periods of regression during PRI therapy is “normal“? I am going through what I feel is a regression (significant right QL tension & TFL aggravation ) after doing so well for months. Is it more common with someone who has cranial issues? I am torsioned and I do wear a splint. I also have mild scoliosis, which already puts me in an unpredictable category. Just wondering how often you see clients regress for a period. It’s so mentally challenging because I fear getting stuck there.

Hey neal, serious inquiry. I was a patho pec but after meeting with you and getting referred to a pri trainer in my area, she was able to get me back in the left aic right bc, however, i am a right torsion and just got a splint. Since you had a similar experience (I've watched your videos) what are my chances of making a full recovery and completely eliminating the grueling neck tension I have been dealing with. (My jaw is off to the right so based ok your videos I am a right torsion - super asymmetrical face as well)

All this about we humans being asymetrical is new and fascinating to me. I grew up in New Zealand in the '60's and '70's, and all us kids would go barefoot always (literally always). Mostly we would leave home in the morning with shoes on, because we were told to put them on, but when we got just around the corner, it was shoes off for the rest of the day! 😊 From about my early-twenties I seldom went barefoot, and I wonder how much that has influenced my health, and indeed my life. A number of years ago I suffered from a depression, which among other things, I described as having a feeling of "not having the ground beneath my feet". That was a metaphor I used at the time, and now, looking back, perhaps I really did not have the ground beneath my feet. You've got me thinking Mr. Hallinan!

I have never dealt with depression long term but every time I get to back outside and do my workout pattern, a mixture of shadowboxing and hackeysack cobbled together over years, I am surprised at how easily I forget what real flow FEELS like. It feels so glorious and joyful but somehow I forget that within a few days of not getting my full workout in. The memory fades almost like a dream does, something you swear you'll never forget but then only days later you lose connection to what made it so profound. Luckily, unlike dreams, I know exactly how to get back to that place. But it is a sad thing to know that so many others have lost their memory of that feeling and been locked out from rediscovering it because of a locked up body. Then they convince themselves it was never as good as they remember... and then they convince others of the same falsehood. Horrifying to see, like the horse going under the swamp in the neverending story movie. Keep your memory, Remko!

Hey neal, can you please tell me, how much time did it take for you to come out of this pattern??

So do recommend any specific type of insoles , or generic ones could help, to feel more grouded

Most people only need the normal insoles that come with the shoes.

What type of therapist do I need to see?

Does PRI literature address the contra lateral forces created by the left SCM in contrast with the right canine / right pterygoids? I had a breakthrough today completely unexpectedly related to that, it was something preventing me from staying neutral. I heard your voice in my head saying "the overactive right side of the neck" and then I had a breakthrough when I finally activated my left SCM fully, allowed me to get into left stance (in my torso) much more fully than ever, and allowed me to occlude my left molars and canine better than ever. Combining that with right canine occlusion "locked" everything in place and gave me stability I have never had before, it was apparently the key preventing me from staying neutral.

The contra lateral forces of the left SCM pulling my torso into left stance counter balanced by right canine occlusion, but ONLY when combined in sequence with extremely strong left molar and left canine occlusion; which anecdotally I could feel my right temporal bone rotate externally (with this new stronger leftside SCM activation and left dental occlusion) and the right canine occlusion is the last sequential step that "locked" the right temporal bone in the correct orientation. The sequence was: Left SCM -> STRONG left molar occlusion -> strong left canine occlusion (which I could never maintain more than a few seconds before today) -> noticably feel my right temporal bone rotate externally as the left canine really occludes -> right canine locks everything in place and allows me to finally maintain everything. Is this discussed in PRI because I am almost certain of what I am experiencing, I was having inexplicable severe pain in my right canine as my PRI program progressed and now I feel like I finally understand why.

Yes, the left SCM, left molar, and right canine sense are necessary for appropriate left stance/right trunk rotation. It's all a normal part of PRI. You should check out the free webinars that Ron Hruska gave on mandibular movements. Lots of techniques you could experiment with are attached to the videos. You can find them on the PRI website.

hi neal , i just want to know your opinion according my case , so i have a left aic right bc with left tmcc pattern which caused my neck to be tight in the left and my face became asymmetrical because of that (higher right eye, nose...) and i think the problem of that has to be my right glute (max and medius) because i have a less developed right glute comparing it to the left and i have a tight right tfl muscle . my question is does strength training my right glute will fix the problem because i was doing some pri on my own for 4 months without a difference. sorry for my bad english i am not a native english speaker .

You need to complete your gait left heel all the way back, but that right arch, R big toe, and access to your right molar sense needs to happen if you want that right glute to work.

Hey Neal. Have you ever helped anyone with pudendal nerve problems?

OMG my right foot and tibial is the same as your left. Interesting

Is there a certain way that I could sit to help readjust, my body and hip?

I know someone. Who has very much neck forward position. They also have tethered cord. Low back pain numbing legs with walking or standing. He is also missing teeth. And as they aged they developed seizures. Seems like that person needs this kind of therapy evaluation . Where would one find such therapy in Idaho?

What is the book name?

Are you aware of why my sense of touch/skin on the general right side of my body has gotten weaker after the age of 18 ? At the same time, I do sense that my dominant eye also changed from right to left and molar & heel sensitivity is now also left dominant. Is it bc (1) my right side sensitivity got weaker that Im left dominant, or (2) my left side just became more sensitive on its own, or (3) both, or (4) num1 scenario causing num2? I’m pretty sure it’s (4) but I don’t know the reasons. The starting point is probably vision related

When you do a self-test like the heel cup when listening to the audiobook, how do you know whether your subconscious is making you do (or not do) something to meet your expected outcome, as opposed to it being purely neurosensory?

@@joshuaroberts5083 because I’ve been to 4 PRI trainers, and been to Lincoln Nebraska to the PRI headquarters for treatment and paid thousands of dollars for pri treatment over the years and had them give me glasses and the splint and the orthotics. Did everything they said to do to a tee and nothing changed. I use to defend PRI to everyone because it described how my body looked and felt (left aic, right bc) and I was really bought into it like you probably are now. I’ve literally gone up the PRI chain of command to the people who founded it so I can firmly come to a conclusion it’s a scam. The two trainers there literally told me different things and still to this day can’t give me a clear answer. Which is a bummer cause for years I bought into it and firmly believed it was the solution. In hindsight they aren’t necessarily wrong in terms of how the body works and the natural asymmetries of it. But they make people believe only their magic way of thinking can fix it when in reality these asymmetries are commonly understood across healthcare. But if you got money to swing around by all means keep doing PRI. All you are doing is paying your PRI trainer’s bills for them lol.

My body seems to do just the opposite of what you’re saying my foot that’s turned out is my right foot. My hip hurts more on the right side.

so in the end we are those type of people who should actually push into the left leg to get the jaw centered :))

Neal, great content as always. Informations you share are just beyond of my imagination. I'd love to dig more into the PRI world, but unfortunately here in Poland there are no PRI providers😢

What about flat feet? Both of my feet have no arch. I’ve always had issues with my feet and when I walk for exercise I have so much pain in the outside of my left hip. I’ve lost a lot of weight and lost my butt and I feel so much weaker not stronger eventhough I workout! It’s so disheartening. I felt stronger when I weighed more. I don’t know what to do 😢

The ones who didn't understand this aren't our ancestors. But also, things like posture and movement are huge parts of transmitted cultural knowledge in less technological societies. There absolutely would have been someone (or many someones) in a paleolithic tribe who corrected the posture and movement of younger members.
