    I don't know if "legs up the wall" improves posture, but it sure does promote relaxation. Pressure comes off the back and hips, breathing slows down, heart rate goes down. I find it extraordinary and a great way to spend just a few minutes right before bed.

    I can’t even drop into a deep squat even while holding something to support me,I always end up on the balls of my feet I can’t squat down flat footed, what could I do about that ?

    Nice excercises, but what is the theory behind them? maybe it's little-know approach cuz no one explains it. A lot of flexion is it safe with spine problems?

    Great exercises, i will test this.
    I'm no expert. But i've did got a similar exercise (the one lying on your back reaching upp and 90/90 hip knee, he sad it was postural restoration), for my lower back and hip.
    He told me to bread out hard and tighten the abs, and try to lock down the ribs so when i breath in i would only expand my ribcage.
    Is all that necessary or could i just do the exercises ass you shown and get similar result?
    Tnx for your time :)

      Also not an expert here. But one of the main aspects of PRI is restoring the zone of apposition of the diaphragm (especially on the left), which can be achieved in one hand by posteriorly tilting the pelvis and on the other hand by clearing the rib flares. So yes, it perfectly makes sense to lock down the ribs during the entire time of exercise! :)

      3 years late, but this sounds like horrific cueing. This will have you using rectus abdominis to hold the ribs down, which is entirely unproductive for diaphragmic breathing.

      ​@@zaynmalice7106 You aren't supposed to use the rectus abdominis, but your obliques as they are at the correct angle to bring the front ribs and pelvis closer without crunching. Hence the exaggerated sigh exhale.

      When you breath correctly it affects your nervous system that promotes rest and digest.

      There’s a misconception that having a straight back is “good posture” but in reality, having a straight back all the time puts your body in extension and it keeps you there which increases your fight or flight therefore putting you in an anxious state all the time. Rounding your back in PRI terms gets you out of that state so that not only your back but the entire kinetic chain in your body remains relaxed and grounded which is the ultimate goal in PRI

    My physio said that I should do the first exercise to get off my piriformis syndrome. This exercise really hurts in my bottom. I was wondering if that is all right. It hurts 9.5 out of 10.
