Your approach to body mechanics is phenomenal.
Thank you so much!
First 15 secs made me laugh
"and hope..." 😂
That’s amazing u bring all the components of these puzzle together, thank you very much sir!!!
You bet!
I live these maladies, and have experienced these as remedies. Great production value of vids these days Zac, the presentation is strong.
Thank you so much! I hope it was helpful
Great stuff Zac!
Thank you!
Zac hello again, first of all big thank you! I would like to ask you a question, recently noticed that my chest wall is compressed, how long this typically takes to fix it using your breathing exercises??
I had very severe postural problems (including dystonia) that started after a bad car accident. It pull my chin and chest together and then my body changed shape to compensate. It became so hard to breathe I started seeing lots of doctors that thought it was anxiety for some reason.
Eventually at rest my forehead would fall all the way to my right knee. Whole nervous system fell apart. I got a gym membership and have been rebuilding the connection from my mind to my body. Now that I’m able to pick my head up I can breathe so much better and have such better health. Crazily it’s become second nature to take a deep breath again. I almost wonder if the insane posture was my body trying to get my neck positioned so I could breathe. Whatever’s going on, it’s very much driven by breathing
That’s so interesting. Glad to hear you are on the other side of it!
You said that a forward head posture can cause the mandible to get retruded but is it possible for the reverse to happen - a class 2 malocclusion (retruded jaw) to be the primary cause of forward head posture?
It took me over 4 years of daily effort to actually change my posture issues and even then it's still hard to remember to subconsciously maintain it. Stretching, muscle strength, and habit are the only 3 things that mattered for me.
What about the factor of trying to improve visual clarity that may initiate the habit of trying to see better?
I’m not a vision expert, but there is such a thing as training too much convergence, which is needed for focus. Have to balance with diverging exercises
What's up coach :) You recommend restoring anterior expansion first then posterior second. Is that order the same for both narrow and wide ISAs? Thanks big Z!
Great q athlete 😉
Generally you are going to get posterior before anterior. If I have someone who has superficial muscle activity in the front (rectus), you’d flip that first.
In the case of forward head, I’m going to assume the latter just so I can hit the “worst case scenario”. But ideally you’d assess to determine what you’d need.
Hopefully that Clarifies!
@@ZacCupplesPT Awesome. Thanks Zac!

Thank you so much!!!!
Should be a million
@@BossofBosses111 too kind!
This might be A longshot do you know of any good practioners in the Vancouver area Zac? Ive tried searching for some that align with your work but i Cant seem to find any ☹️
Way to shoot your shot. Heard good things about Eric - www.footbridgeclinic.com/team/eric-marriott/
@@ZacCupplesPT will be checking him out much appreciated 🙏
i close my eyes and i hear nicholas cage
Big Z is the name, he aHEAD of the game. 👀💎
Lol I see what you did there!
@@ZacCupplesPT got a serious question z. With most of your beginner prone positions, is it only gravity that drives pumphandle expansion? Or does driving IR via elbow pressure play also a role in that? Thanks ahead.
@@neinbruderja7519 yes x 2 💪
Hi Zac ,I recently have this weird thing happen whenever I bend my head down, my left legs began tingling ,same with my lower left ribs and it feels weird ,not painful or anything, and if i hold the position longer the tingling goes away . And it all started after i tried a weird postion where you hold your legs and butt up vertically by lying on your back with your head ,neck and shoulders touching the floor and your hands supporting your legs.
What could it be? Should i panic? ,is there any exercise to fix this? Please answer
It’s probably worth checking out to rule in/out any bad stuff. Could be just a bit of limited nerve mobility, but get checked
@@ZacCupplesPT Okay,thanks for the response _😇_
My whole body has increased tension to the point where if i sit crossed legged i feel tingling within a minute. Same with arms in certain positions. And I have these constrictions A LOT in the pelvis. What do you reccomend?
It’s hard to say without evaluating you. If you noticing any tingling, your best bet would be to get checked out by a medical provider
@@ZacCupplesPT done all that mate. Done every test. They all think I'm crazy.
@@jayinderkaushik watch Zac videos expanding skeleton and building mobility. Figure out which infrasternal angle type you are and take on his relevant moves. You have to carve it out yourself in this world but at least you have these videos to work with. Medical establishment likely worthless
@@jayinderkaushik that’s good that you got the major red flags checked out. Best bet might be working with someone then. Can’t make great recommendations based on symptoms. I do offer remote consults if that helps
@@uboobly wise words
Hey zack. What if neck and traps are very tight to breathe by nose. Whenever I inhale by nose air gets through mouth.
can not lay on floor at 71 years old I CAN NOT GET UP 😮
Try the bed!
@@ZacCupplesPT I will give it a go !
Hi Zac,
I like your channel and videos. You helped me alot. Can you do online consultation for me -- perhaps in Zoom?
I would gladly pay you to help me figure out a few problems.
Thank you!
