How I Fixed My Lateral Pelvic Tilt

- Postural Restoration is how I fixed my lateral pelvic tilt and my entire body. This video talks about how I integrated Postural Restoration with dentistry and optometry to rebalance my sensory input which allowed my brain to correct my posture and rid me of pain in the process.
pritrainer.com/lateral-pelvic...
What you have to know is that the brain relies on proper sensory input from: your eyes,
the ground,
your ears,
your jaw/teeth,
and your joints,
to produce the correct muscular output. To move you forward without compensation.
When your sensory integration is lacking, you end up in pain.
Hey there, my name is Neal Hallinan.
The purpose of this channel is to help people understand and resolve chronic muscular and joint pain, primarily through the discipline of Postural Restoration.
As someone who lived with chronic pain for many years of my life, I know how debilitating and isolating it can be. But I also know it can be resolved.
I hold the following credentials:
Postural Restoration Trained (PRT)
Strength and Conditioning Coach (CSCS)
Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT)
Amateur Historian (AH, my own self-designation)
I live and work in the great state of New Jersey, USA.
I offer one-on-one training as well as online consultations via Zoom. The information can be found here:

Life changing video - this perfectly puts into words the problems I've been feeling throughout my entire body for the last 4 years but could never identify. Like you I had braces that fixed my teeth/jaw into an assymetrical position, and after they came off in 9th grade, I was hit with chronic injury after injury when I had never so much as twisted an ankle despite playing 3 different sports throughout my childhood. I would sit through classes in high school squirming around in my seat sometimes because I had such visceral feelings of random tension in my back or twisting in my hips. I'm so lucky that I found your channel and others like it so early when I'm only 18, I would have gone crazy wondering what the hell was wrong with me all while being told by any mainstream medical professional that it was all in my head.
People like you, John/Mike Mew, and Andrew Huberman who bring these life changing ideas to the public for free online are really creating so much positive change in the world by giving people control/knowledge of their bodies back, it really is amazing.
What’d you actually do to fix it?
@@OatsOats good question, because Neal talks a lot and throws a lot of medical jargon & abbreviations around, but there are ZERO actual tips about what to do.
@@roguewave1060well its impossible to give you just one excersize to do that magically hits everyones imbalances muscles. What you really have to do is really low weight kettle bell hip thrusts but to get to that point you have to achieve a position closer to balanced than before so in my case I have to try really hard to keep my ass pulled tight ensuring my right hip doesnt come up and my left hit doesnt go down through controlling the lower back, same thing with glute bridges etc. For my torso I kinda imagine the lower 2/3 to be abs contracted and back pushing backwards (not straining) and thorassic spine pushed forwards. Also flexing the front of my body while trying to relax and breathe through my back while laying in bed at night really helps too but I have to go reaaaaally slow otherwise I breathe with my abs/front ribs instead.
Exactly, everyone tells you "it's all in your head". Thank God my stubbornness did its job. I went to see a renowned physiotherapist in my country. He just looked at how I walked into his office and immediately put this diagnose. Wish you luck and I am glas you got this issue resolved. 🙂
@@OatsOats I've been seeing a postural restoration certified physical therapist in my home state, who uses the same thought process as the PRI in this video. It's helped tremendously and I've regained significant range of motion throughout my body over the last few months. I'm also planning to see an airway-focused orthodontist soon to see if the type of mouthpiece that Neal talks about in this video would further help me.
I have had flat feet my whole life. Fastest way ive found to solve it is to roller skate!! It is all balance and stabilisation. I feel like my body is getting much smarter. It also forces your body to learn a more regular stride length once you get into street skating.
It's also "rhythmic"! (see my videos about walking and boxing to music).
Please recommendations
@Basketball American id recommend quad skating twice a week… inline skates are fine for beginners, i use both! It’ll take about a month to feel confident on them but its the best decision I’ve ever made. Dont buy skates less than £80 to avoid low quality ones.
@@omalone1169 my first skates were rookie quad skates but theres loads of skate websites. It is worth the money and will train coordination, balance and most importantly posture!
@@Nnamdinnamah where to find in size 16?
this is the best explanation about this on the entire internet not even just youtube
Read an article you wrote and wound up here, the story you told sound just like mine and I feel sure this is my affliction. I've been struggling and contorting myself for 18 months with no relief. I will try these methods and hope I can get my life back. 🙏
You are a legend! I have gone to pt and told them the exact symptoms you were describing and they never could help me. Thank youu! You understand it and can help fix the problem!
You're welcome, Andrew. Hopefully you can find a PRI therapist to help you.
What exercises should we do to correct it?
This video is a gold mine! Great video!
Great video! Good to know that there are people who not only had similar issues as I have, but also they care for the rest so they do videos like this. Four years ago while starting to do pull-ups at the gym my back and neck got immobilized, like a sudden muscle spasm. The first two years it took me to go for a massage but 6 months later I would have the same pain/ache at the left minor rhomboid zone. Lots of doctors saw me and I went through lots of specializations. In the next month I will end my orthodontic treatment and I start the TMJD treatment (with the TMJ splint). Apparently my issue started in the TMJ, for 10 years I've been hearing that clicking sound on my right shoulder and the pull-ups increased the intensity of the asymmetry of my body. I hope my back ache goes away after the TMJ treatment. For people who are in a similar situation, I have right TMJD without pain at the jaw nor facial issues or ringing issues, but I used to have the right shoulder higher than the left shoulder. Also the pelvic compensated that and I used to have head-forward position and cervical rectification. I used to chew gum a lot when I was younger. Currently I have 32 years old and this happened while I was about to be 28.
Thanks for the video and sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Argentina!
Neal you have been God sent. I have been following your videos and blogs. I am now seeking help from the Institute because I am quite the complex case. But you were the window to all of this, I am so grateful.
I hope you find resolution to your issues, Alexandra. It can be quite difficult for some people.
The talk of the balance of forces in the joints is so interesting. Thanks for introducing this idea. Also I can't believe an 18min video took 5 hours to make -- way to go!
Ive been to 4 physiotherapists and a chiropractor in the last year, only one of them, the physio guy had any idea what was going on. He unfortunately passed away and I wasnt able to continue with him. Since then I still havent found anyone able to work properly with my symptoms and this is everything im dealing with, which gives me home. Thank you
This is the most important video I’ve found on this matter. I never took into consideration my jaw posture. For the duration of my entire life I’ve never noticed how my jaw has been higher on my left side giving me a left hip hike. As soon as I started fixing my jaw posture everything is starting to make so much sense. I grew up wearing braces to fix my crooked teeth and of course how can that help you If you have a crooked jaw. Your explanation has brought me to the right track, finally. I’ve been trying to find a solution for 2-3 months now ever since the problem has become more apparent and worse. My walking was such an issue to the point where I quit my job just to handle this situation. You’ve saved me time and my mind is at more ease. Thank you deeply. Going through this issue yourself and conquering it is truly an inspiration. I was on the path myself, but you’ve given me the little cheat code early. Thank you
Whats your solution?
@@samathum4711 wow that comment didn’t age well. So I’m still on my posture restoration journey and I’m undergoing orthodontic treatment to fix my open bite, crowded teeth, and my mandibular deviation. I’m currently on one month. My bite keeps me ungrounded leading to my postural issues. I even see it with braces on; my bottom jaw favors my left side so my right side doesn’t get any teeth contact. It’s actually very interesting, but atm I still have pretty bad back pain and shoulder pain. You need to find an orthodontist who provides a holistic approach; one that takes posture into consideration.
@@samathum4711at this time I’m going through orthodontic treatment to give myself a functional bite. I found an orthodontist in frisco Texas who provides a holistic approach that focuses on the bite and your posture. I’m currently in 4 months. My results have been very interesting…I no longer rotate my torso to the left and my pelvis to the right. I cannot confirm if the influences on my bite and cranium are benefiting my body, that just seems too good to be true. But we will see. I’m also seeing a PRI therapist in Dallas TX to address my other issues. Good insoles, possibly custom, and maybe vision intervention may be needed in my case.
this video, your article, Athleanx, and John Mew have all helped me immensely
Bro loved that PIC of yours flexing bicep, I felt that way 15 years ago ROMA mediteranian diet running every day my 1st belt of arthritis FREE lifestyle let the guards down suffered for the NEXT 15 years thanks to ALL the wisdow sharing and Fully grasping the concepts I had performed back then do I SEE my own two eyes P.R.I power to choose not resign to the lil mouse running around in my head. To all those wonderful people who I forgot to acknowledge in this very public forum, YOU ROCK!!!!
WOw! This video was such revealing. I'm 37 with back pain problems since I was 13 or 14. I also had my palate expanded when I was 12 and the center of lower teeth is shifted to the right. I also have tinnitus, loss of both cervical and lumbar lordosis, 3 herniated discs, a visible shifted hip with hip, groin pain and TFL, biceps femoris and piriformis that hurt like a broken rib. Thanks for all this content. Just subscribed to learn more about PRI.
Thank you. The information with your delivery is amazing
You're welcome.
You have wonderful solutions.
You need well analysed and scripted presentation to help more people and help yourself in the process.
Thank you!👍
Its crazy how much pain you can generate from this. Ive always told my doctors i feel uneven,but they just ignored it straight up. It has taken me 2 whole years of learning and training my body back to allignment and fix my breathing.
Now im back to work and can train again without pain. Thanks a lot to guys like you.✌️
Exactly ! Doctors ignore this and don’t give a fuck. It’s true.
Who did you see? any specialist, or chiro/physio?
My doctor is saying the same thing, I have had xrays and mris. Nothing showed up
I feel my left quadratus lumborum working hard when I walk, I have left hip/low back pain when I sit in a wrong position, I also feel them a bit in the groin and lateral and posterior hip, is this lateral tilt as well?
@@bloodeagle2945 this is exactly how I feel. I have left hip/ low back pain past 7 years. Been to different doctors. PCP, Rheumatologist, Orthopedic Chiropractor and neuromuscular spine and joint specialist. All confusing diagnosis. Ankylosing Spondylitis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory arthritis, scoliosis, degenerate discs disease lumbar, s.i. joint and simply cannot afford to see another Dr. Orthopedic says I need total hip replacement surgery. Don't have funds. So I am 60 yrs old and still working in warehouse delivery job lifting heavy tires, car batteries, 60-70# cases antifreeze etc. killing my back and hip. Gotta work so can't go without a days pay to wait on disability, So what is a man to do?
You the man. I like this content a lot. You know what you're talking about
Holy heck, this is so insightful! I've been getting into Tai Chi and other physical conditioning techniques in recent years, and this ties in nicely with all that.
I am incredibly thankful I found your videos. I am a 26-year-old male who has never had braces. I suffered an L5 stress fracture in high school from powerlifting, and ever since I have had severe tightness on my entire left side from my hip to my upper neck. I have never had braces, but due to TMJ on the left side of my jaw, I had a mouth guard made for nighttime to alleviate some of the symptoms. When I am walking throughout the day, I do not feel pain on my right side near my hip, however, if I engage full weight onto my right side, I can experience shooting incredible pain up my spine and down my leg that is completely mind-numbing and this can occur if I am hanging too freely from a pull-up bar as well and then drop to the ground too quickly. I have looked at my mouthguard after watching this video, and I believe that I have the exact opposite of what you have. I feel much more pressure in my right molars, and the left side of my teeth has less space than the right, and the left side of my teeth is caved inwards with the back left molar sticking out to the side. I have a few questions: How effective will this mouth guard be in reducing my tightness of the left side, how much do you think this pain that I can trigger in my right side of my spine has caused my brain to not let my body tend to use my right side, and should I consider palate expansion or surgery near my L5 vertebrae? I am extremely tired of experiencing the severe tightness of the left side, left hip is lower than right, and TMJ.
are there anyone who could treat themselvs permenantly with these exercises?
please let me know.
In your case mouth guard might be not enough. You need to make your brain feel safe once again by doing exercises. (In case your l5 problem is being fixed permanently) you can check my account. I made a lot of pri videos.
@@Hikmetkarademir in my opinion - it’s difficult to fix yourself without observation. Your body will try to trick you back into old pattern.Since it’s already the path of least resistance.
@@alexanderpriologist9271 you are 100% right, I have tried to move out of pattern but it become more painful. Especially when try to heel strike and stop supination.
Thank you very much 🙏
Years of looking through forums and youtube videos to find whats wrong with my face or assymetry, and I find this gem that explains everything I'm going through perfectly, but in my case its my left molars and left side that's more pronounced, even my left eyesight was better than the right!! at a young age I had a head trauma on the right side of my eyebrow so I guess whatever happened happened, but I'm glad I found a basepoint to start fixing my issues thank you so so much!!
Same here! My left side just has all this "pressure" and I just "feel" it more. My body literally leans with my right side higher. This video was like a relief that someone is actually explaining the same thing
wishing you luck with all of this! I have a paid course from conor harris addressing lower and upper body issues, its great and helps you work on your assymetries by yourself after assessing, let me know if you need it @@samathum4711
It’s incredible how accurate you’re explaining my reality. Everything you say I start shaking my head ‘yes’. Pain my entire life (since around 13yo) was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was about 12, had two growth spurts and “spine straightened out” but hips were left out of alignment due to development with a curved spine I believe. Pain everyday, all day, my entire life. Pain as I’m typing this but the ‘shifting’ of weight to left leg and breathing relieves around 80% of all inflammation.
My pattern looks like yours or worse.
Neal you have touched on a very important topic and from what I can find on the internet you're one of the few people who address this problem. I appreciate your work, and thank you very much.
Also as a constructive criticism, I noticed that you like to repeat on a topic to emphasize it's importance and that can take time and make the videos longer which might stir away some people who don't want to watch long videos on a rather short concept. Please realize that it's a youtube video and we have the ease to watch any part we wish on repeat and don't require repetition inside the video itself. Look forward to watching more of your videos.
After watching your videos for close to a year, I’m finally getting the opportunity to see a PRC PT tomorrow! So excited.
Good luck!
Hello ! How did it go ?
@@aymeric9912 first appointment is a lot of examination to learn about what’s going on and testing your range of motion. My range of motion was surprisingly decent and she said I was a “peculiar” case. My ribs were flared on the left side like what’s discussed here on Neal’s channel with the left AIC pattern. I couldn’t do the squat where you keep your heels planted on the ground at all, so I need to work on that. She gave me a couple more exercises to work on where you focus on breathing into certain areas of your body and hamstring stretching exercises.
Wow... It's so shocking. Last winter, while hiking, my left Crampon broke and came down supporting my right leg. After that, I spent a year working on two monitors in the office, with my upper body leaning to the right. It's hard to put strength on the left hip, and there's a difference in the length of the legs, and the body shape is the same as yours in the video. I went through all kinds of exercises and treatments, and I went to the hospitals, dental clinic and the body shape correction massage shop, but it didn't work. The content of the video is shocking and I think it's a translation of my experience. Thank you.
I love the information. This is just so much different to what you find about LPT. Neal- you are the best. Thank you for all your vids. Never disappointed. Life changing :).
Thanks for always commenting, Thomas. Believe it or not, sometimes I need the encouragement to keep going with this, especially because the videos that no one watches are also the most important (like spinning, rhythm etc...). It makes me sad almost, because people are missing the big picture. But then I see you comment on the video.... and my spirits are raised!
Thank you Neal. I really appreciate it. Finding your vids has changed my life and perception of a human body completely. Also, it answered so many of my questions I asked myself in the past. Would you agree that any significant change in the body biomechanics (like a physical trauma, subluxation of a bone in the spine, etc.) can have a negative impact on a smooth energy/vibration/frequency flow in the body? And would there be an energy shift from one place to another? I hope I worded it right. Is there a video where you have talked about it? Sorry, I might have missed it. Many thanks Neal.
@@thomas2081 Yes, absolutely. It’s all about energy flow.
@@NealHallinan Thank you.
Did you say ninth grade? Me too! My performance in sports just dropped in 9th grade after a stellar eighth grade. I look like your old pic and still in pain and a bit inflexible. This video totally resonates. Thank you
The moment you mention the unequal molar pressures, I instantly became conscious that I was clenching on my right side. I did an experiment and tried doing left side-bends (I was lying on my side) to see if the jaw pressure would shift over, and what happened instead was that BOTH sides just completely relaxed!! This is so cool, I wonder if there is a name for this field of study, like functional neurology or something...just totally mindblowing.
Robert- It's a real thing. Look up David Traster!
What do you mean by left side-bends while laying on one side?
I restore normal molar occlusion with most clients I have. Once you have a left ZOA, the mandible will shift into a more neutral position (provided no true dental issues)
One of the older videos, Neal shows a technique for activating the side-abs , and inhibiting the right side, while lying down and you don't need a wall or anything to push against
czcams.com/video/uoxxCFHoBY8/video.html
You have amazing content Neal. And amazing hair. 🌟
Thank you for making this video, its very clear you are articulate and know the subject matter well. My sole suggestion is that a briefer video where you get straight to the point about how to resolve the issue would be very helpful to anyone watching.
CZcams rewards longer videos; they often get more views and payout, simply because people stay on the platform longer. 🤷
OMG this is so accurate. I had orthodontist treatment as a teenager, now in my early fortys: basicly all of the symptoms you mention, sensitive left heel, isciatic-like pain left, sacroiliac joint tension tension, deep breathing feels blocked, slight scoliosis in thoracic spine, shoulder-neck-problems, straight neck position, poor vision on the left eye and latent squint, chewing mostly on the right, jaw shifted to right with closed teeth, right incisor forward, asymetric jawline, cracking jaws, painfully limited neck rotation, constant pain right up in the neck close to scull, feeling of a blocked atlas. 😮🥺😥 what should I do? Willing to go for it. No therapist ever got what I have. Pls help. Thanks for your content.❤
Like I just described myself. So bizarre that we track near identical in symptoms. It's a waking hell everyday living with it
Twins, triplets. Probably allot of us out there who suffer alone and in pain. Stay strong! If i could point to somewhere to start it would be: Dentist, eye doc, strech upper and lower body. Release hip area, relax your thoughts, be kind to yourself, never mind the noise around you. See a chiro, get your neck pulled back to place. Dont give up! Keep on keeping on!
Go to a PRI specialist.
I was missing this last step! I have been watching so many other videos on youtube about si joint pain, lateral tilt , posture practices and they all have helped temporarily until i back one wrong move that cause my right side to tighten up again. You are so RIGHT its my mind telling me that I need to protect myself and after watching your video i put some mint cream on my side that gets tight, then I started to tell my self to relax that side , and OMG ive never felt this way in a long time
Thank you so much for this video. Every doctor and practitioner thinks I'm nuts. Sharing this with my osteopath
Great stuff, keep it coming! I start PT with a certified PRI trainer last week and I am soooo excited to begin my journey.
That's great to hear. This video should help you understand the context of the things you are doing. Good luck!
@@NealHallinan How do you share the concept of PRI or alteast point them in that direction for someone who is in pain and clearly exibiting the right dominant pattern without sounding like a nutjob?
Could you please explain to me what PRI does mean ? Can you please help me to start my journey too as I'm suffering from the same problem
Thanks for the response
@@mohamedshelig6745 postural restoration institute
How did that go for you? Currently going through it and contemplating what my best course of action is. Did they restore your neutrality and fix you? Also, how feasible is it economically? A response would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you Neal. Good video. Breath-work like WH method helped me a lot with similar (orthodontic)trauma.
I agree, breath work is good for so many things.
This makes so much sense! I grind my teeth so bad and have pelvic tilt. One day I was trying to stretch my hips & move my hip one side separate from the other and it was like my brain couldn't do it not my body but my brain. Thought I was crazy until this video. Thank you.
And you solved it?
Neal!
First, thank you for everything that you do. You're saving so many people from missing life, including myself. Thank you from every corner of my heart.
While hands and knees breathing, holding left ZOA, thoracic flexion, and appropriate airflow management, I noticed that I can "sit back" a fair way towards my ankles while maintaining the posture. With and without a towel under my left knee. Do you think this is an effective way to train my neuro connection to the left hamstring/zoa/t flexors, etc? I feel the same things that I'm supposed to during the 90/90 and scissor slides. My only doubt is that it may somewhat remove input from my feet. Your website says to be experimental!
Thank you for your time and effort once again. Love from South Jerz
You are my saviour. Thank you.
Thank you very much, it gave me great relief when you said that if the jaw was deviated to the left it was not a big problem and that if I did the left aic pattern exercises I would correct the asymmetries thank you very much. It seems that there are only Americans or English speaking about this because I am Spanish and there are no Spanish channels on this subject.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD ! Thanks for this video.
From personal experience _ one side of the rib-box will be more expanded than the other!
Fascinating thank you for sharing that information
Gosh this is fascinating. I've been digging into my own Left AIC pattern issues and the whole eyes/jaw connection makes so much sense. Have you ever tried making clients close one eye when they walk?? It struck me as a curious experiment watching this video and seems to have really curious effects on my gait. For example my sleepy left glut seems to wake up quite a lot when I shut my right eye. Is that a thing, or am I imagining things? (Huge thanks for all your 'left AIC' videos btw. So valuable for me)
Wow, I knew I had all these issues, didn't know they are all connected. Weirdly enough, by holding my jaw to the other side, I can feel the neck muscles re-adjusting, this is mind-blowing. I'll have to fast track fixing my teeth.
If you are in the US, I'd highly recommend seeing a PRI therapist before fixing your teeth. You don't want to fix teeth on top of a mispositioned jaw. Most orthodontists to pay attention to this.
@@NealHallinan So, see an orthodontist? Also, thoughts on dry needling? That has significantly reduced my pelvic tilt.
@@NealHallinan damn, I fixed mine in a mispositioned jaw because the orthodontist didn't know about this. Now I have a lateral pelvic tilt, lump and pain while talking on the right side of the throat, click on ear and all my right side of body is on a forward position, as my right feet feel numb sometimes. I started having bruxism and am treating it now. How do I proceed?
are there anyone who could treat themselvs permenantly with these exercises?
please let me know.
@@nousername5673I think he meant to write DONT pay attention to this
Orthos don’t pay attention to it
Tried the neck turns and found i had some nerve tension on my left bend. Luckily i was able to pull up my jaw since it was laxed and it was instantly free. But I need to get to my teeth realigned. And now I notice that my right side is more tense whereas the other can completely relax. Thanks for the idea!
Another great video. Thank you. You are helping me on my journey to health.
I have been doing the beginner exercises and learning as much as I can.
My biggest concern now is that I often choke in my sleep. I have always snored but recently it has gotten way worse to the point where I can't breathe and I think I am dying when I jump awake. What you mentioned in this video about a straight neck and the associated problems seems to be exactly what I am struggling with. Any tips on sleep?
I been using splints
Those are called apneas. Go see a sleep therapist and get a CPAP as soon as possible.
You are suffering from sleep apnea .
Are r u mouth breather?
yep those are apneas most likely due to chronic hyperventilation. Look for buteyko breathing method for a permanent fix.
One legged standing is great for balance and situational awareness... do you think it would be helpful to stand on the left leg only, as an exercise, to encourage the left side to sense the ground more?
Does this condition could be related to radiating sensations on my face going towards my arms? Everything you teach really makes sense to me.
Hey Neal, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us all.
Im discovered your channel recently.
You have so many vids with different exercises can i ask you to navigate me?
I have "right side" overload over last several years, my pelvic is rotated - cant say which side - but right leg is shortened and taking more load, right quad is tight, plus right ribs is rotated back slightly and blocked,so my right diaphragm is not fully working.
Plus that chronic neck pain because of blocked ribs/diaphragm on right side.
My jaw is also shifted to the right sidr slightly.
Which exercises/your vids can you recommend to start with?
I've been dealing with exactly this for so long. I'm a strength and conditioning coach and take some of the PRI courses but I just haven't been able to resolve it. 😔
very clever video, to be honest I'm struggling with back pain for the past 8 years and none of my doctors seem to grasp the concept that I need my whole body to be proper, not just a certain part of my spine. its maddening cause I've been told that I have hip problem, lower spine problem, ribcage level vertabre problem, neck problem, but to be honest I had to kinda figure out this on my own where I just anialysed my body when laying down that even my jaw movements can influence muscule tension at hip level. no one tells you this, but it can't be stressed enough that your body is a structure, STRUCTURE, with top middle and low, you would not fix a building just by moving the 3rd floor to the right cause the rest would collapse, I think similarly, you have to look at the hole body, not just parts, cause working on parts will jsut give you problems to the other parts of your body
What are some excirseces i can do at home to fix my uneven shoulders??
This stuff works . 100% . I tried just bout everything . I've been doing these 4 exercises for 3 weeks and the brutal hip / low back pain has pretty much stopped. I operate hvy machines 12 hrs a day . Was complete misery for last 15 yrs hah . My right glute fires every step left oblique working hammy abductor. It's great , am sleeping a lot better as well. Depression is lifting . 8 / 10 pain for 15 yrs had me fucked . Then the blow outs ... chiros massages asteopath MRI . FML . I wish I found this guy yrs ago . Anyway man shits a life saver . Going to keep doing exercises twice a day 3 sets for 5 more weeks . Thank you.
how u doing now man?
Fuk haha , still waay better then before but can't say am 100% . Upper back stuff going on . But got a lot better at the exercises. I sit in heavy machinery at work all day . Seem to get big improvement on days off but work fks me up. Rewatched his sitting video been doing that better seems to be helping alot
@@BuckSwazyKiB aight glad things are starting to change
@@masonmalaguti3463 yeah, had it awhile back but started slowly lifting weights again then started getting quite a bit of pain in neck and scapula area's , chest tightened up low back arched so wasn't breathing properly. Seems to have gotten better since I stopped . Don't think I was ready for it hah .
What are the exercises?
Would one of your arms feel numb at times? And/or fingers? Also would one side of your face feel numb ? Just now at 37 addressing this issue with aligners and dentists all around and doctors seem oblivious to this connection or just choose to not accept it is the root cause. Any , who thanks for making me feel less crazy. 💜
This video is underrated
Great job
Hello Neil thank you so much for making this useful information available.
I've been stuck in a aic bc pattern for decades now and only recently learned about PRI....it has changed my life!!
I do have a question about the pattern as it relates ty Indian,meel and joir club training. Would I be hurting my progress by performing synchronous and anti synchronous movements with weighted clubs.
Thanks for your help and for saving me from myself 😂
are there anyone who could treat themselvs permenantly with these exercises?
please let me know.
I have distributed nearly all my weight to my left foot for years. My right foot is turned out more than my left, but all the weight is on the left side. I am very much left-dominant, not right-dominant. This applies to gym movements etc. as well.
You are still right dominant. I've made videos about what you are feeling. Search for "Left AIC confusion" or something like that.
@@NealHallinan But I think you should qualify that is the strict PRI viewpoint, based on the observation of relative diaphram sizes. But the diaphram is only smaller because of sharing space with other visceral organs....limb lengths are still a major factor in walking ergonomics, and limbs are still generally symmetrical
I recommend watching this video. Also like Neal has said in lots of videos, you need to get tested. You can't test yourself and it might be something else not the pattern. czcams.com/video/9KntPsVyKYU/video.html
@@NealHallinan maybe you're trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
Fascinating. Thx. 👍
Hi Neal, maybe you can give some advice and let me know if I'm left dominant or other? It also looks like my right shoulder is hiked up and higher than my left. My back side left upper back lies flat but the right side its kind of rounding towards my head, like rounded shoulders. I have weakness in my right arm and my thigh and hamstring and all those areas are super tight. My left side not tight at all. it looks like my right hip is hiked up as well and it's like I always want to put my weight on my left leg for stabilization and then my right hip then is higher than the left.It seems like my waist area rotates to the left and a little difficult to go the right. Can you please give me some advice on this.. thanks!
Thank you for your Video. Just getting started with pri Restoration. While gun shooting my left eye is dominant and I feel my left molars biting down harder. This confuses me. But I think in general I have a left AIC pattern. Also a right TMCC (I can rotate my Head better to right and tilt better to the left). Any idea? Thank you. Great Videos!
I’m 16 and am already having a ton of issues with this I really hope I can fix it
Judging by the sound of your display name, you may need to start with some shoes that have an arch... I threw myself off wearing just flat skate kicks for years. Just a tip from my journey.
@@Scorpio_Sol44 insoles etc are just a bandaid solution and your body will adapt to the support instead of the feet actually building back their own arch.
@@thatguyisme5261 I’ve been doing pronation exercises and internal rotation (hip) exercises and feel the changes.. Trying to get more session with my PRI specialist to figure out the rest. Glute max is what she mentioned.
Some days I feel like I'm losing my mind being unable to escape from these painful and tiring signals that my body wont stop sending (hips, front of neck, shoulders wrists, back, sciatica, eyes ). I had pectus surgery as a kid but to this day (im 33), I've yet to achieve a neutral spine. I stretch daily and am in decent shape. One day I really pushed myself to almost passing out in exercise and as I lay on the floor breathing, my body felt so euphorically good, and I've never achieved that level of body good feeling again. It was like two whole minutes in heaven of my spine being in alignment. Then I got up off the floor and went back to real life. I never been able to achieve that state again and constantly battle with my spine and hips for hours a day. I watch videos and do exercises and mediations for this stuff and try to fully experience every joint and muscle fiber to build my mind muscle connection. It's been years and I'm at the end of my rope, the last time I talked to my ortho about this, they were talking about surgery as my last option and fusing my lower spinal vertebre, which would just be treating a symptom and put me out of commission for a long time.
It's kinda like I'm never able to experience my whole body at once. My daily evolution at this point is a shifting of positions into whatever is least painful, unless I'm able to get so focused on something else until my body inevitably reminds me that some nerves are turning off. I wake up in the bear trap every mornign and slowly pull myself out of it and loosen up, only to find myself in the same trap the next morning.
I have no clue what to do anymore, and feel completely out of control of my own body even as I continue to develop physical skills, coping mechanisms, and a deeper mind muscle connection. Reading these comments at least makes me feel less alone with this issue, as none of my friends family or doctors really seem to get what is wrong with me, and talking to people about it just makes you the 'sick' person. It's a really dysfunctional way to live mentally and physically. If you can relate and have had success with something similar or any insights to share please do share for me and everyone else who is desperately reading these comments for help.
And thanks a lot to Neal H for his hard work and dedication to helping people with these problems. This is a really life ruining problem so I'm sure he's helped a lot of people with this information
same bro
Same bro I am so tired of this, just wanted a normal life
Hello nice video, I've had mouth breathing problem my whole life with out toeing and lower back and hip pain, here's my symptoms, I have a narrow upper palate recessed jaws and forward dropped shoulders, I wonder is this something can be fixed? I have autism and adhd too and I'm 25
Great video neal really good for someone first learning about the pattern
I'm glad it was helpful.
Thanks for the informative videos, could you please explain how i can treat this problem as i was suffering from this lateral pelvic tilt since a long time and it's really limited my life please how can i get in touch with you?
5 hours man, thank you
Can anyone pin the point of this video? Where's the solution???
Watched the complete video but no solution mentioned.
He is always like this, too micha talking.
What's your plan for expanding the right palate symmetrically now (or expanding the right more)? Once you take the splint out, won't you immediately go back to the right torsion pattern and end up expanding the left side more just like how you mentioned in childhood?
Also, do you know if the right TMCC people would need left palatal expansion to get out of their pattern completely?
You are very perceptive. Great question. I would wear the splint during expansion. Most Right TMCC people don’t need any dental intervention.
@@NealHallinan how would you expand the right side? They say expanders do not work on adults that the fusion on maxilarry sutures is completed after teenage years.
@@saadimadina1337 That is not accurate information. It's simply not as easy, meaning you won't get as much expansion as you would if you were younger. I know many adults who are doing expansion right now. If cranial/facial bones didn't move, my face wouldn't have become more symmetrical.
@@NealHallinan true indeed - interesting maybe that’s the disinformation they throw out to go the jaw surgery route. These adults, what expansion appliance are they using? I forgot from the splint video last time, what PRI familiar air way dentist did you use for your splint?
Fascinating video Neal!!!!! I actually sleep better when I sleep on the floor (yoga mat) with no pillow and some people report the same thing. That’s bad for the neck curve you talked about right? Why could it be that people report better sleep on the floor? I’m aways curious about that. And do you have any videos on the jaw shifted to the left?
I don't know if it would be bad for the curve or not. If you sleep better, your brain must like it. A jaw shifted to the left is just the RTMCC pattern.
On my expansion and braces journey right now, it’s tough but I’ll get there, have you decided on what expansion you plan on doing?
I completed tmj splint therapy 1 ago. After repeat imaging, the consensus of my dentist and an oral surgeon that the joint is now hypermobile bilaterally. My condyles now make contact with my skull. It's a nasty noise. The disk is alright though. I'm interested to hear about your experience. Braces are my next step too. Both practitioners are optimistic about my recovery.
Hey Neal,
I’m 22 years old and have been battling what I thought was an enigma, and something no chiro or physical therapist has been able to alleviate. After really listening to my body and making the most conscious effort to unwind my muscles, I am almost at the finish line. Then to top it off I finally found you, the first person to ever explain exactly what I am experiencing. My only question is I have reversed this before not even knowing what it is, and it ended up coming back- so how do I keep it away for good?
Same man gave me and ocd like level of body awareness, started studying anatomy just so I could better assess myself objectively. I knew there was some sort of twist/rotation yet all the places I'd go to would have no idea even they seemed confused then I started to feel like I was crazy or something went to get checked for scoliosis nothing. I was just about to accept it till I did some more research and ended up here. Curious do you know what you did to reverse it?
are there anyone who could treat themselvs permenantly with these exercises?
please let me know.
That ocd level of body awareness is a blessing and a curse. I realized toward the end that I would analyze it too much, and think that I can feel exactly what I thought would be the issues. Breathing only thru my nose, with his book recommendation of “the oxygen advantage” along with the body awareness has gotten me basically out of the poor positions. For me I really developed bad habits of slouching more to one side and I’d over analyze everything from sitting to walking to laying down. Running helped me conquer this too, along with exercise that is quick and intense which would allow me to move sub consciously and not with so much conscious effort. Stretch hamstrings and stretch by folding at the hips while breathing calm and slowly.
@@JB0NE_ thanks very much for your reply 💖
I am on the path aswell. 2 months in listening to my body. I’m seeing progress. As long as you open up your body, align and stabilize we should be fine. How’s it going for you?
My jaw is a disaster. I had a problem with it for years. Maybe a decade plus. It’s a full body situation.
Hip
Back
Neck
Jaw
Legs one longer then the other.
It’s a nightmare I endured. Thanks for sharing this information. I haven’t known what to do.
I was a high school athlete then my life fell apart.
The dental problems were the worst of it maybe..
Bit of a long shot. I'm not sure if you read the comments still but... I have a convex-left 10-15 degree curve in the high thoracic spine, kind between the scapulas. I also have a lower right shoulder and the pelvis is higher on the right side. My right leg seems to "tilt under" the pelvis, kind of scissoring in a bit over midline. The left leg seems to be fine but the muscles above (obliques, psoas maybe, etc.) seem much tighter on the left. The right core muscles I can barely get to activate. A fair bit of what you're saying seems to correlate to my issue, but it seems like some things don't. Would you have any suggestions or tweaks that I should use when employing the knowledge from this video? I'm pretty desperate to get some of this corrected. Thanks so much in advance!!!
*What about prolo therapy to help with cervical instability?*
Hey, I am currently trying to watch all of your videos about the patterns. My little”problem” is, that I love going to the gym. I am currently trying to include as much PRI exercises as possible into my program but there are still compound movements like Dumbell bench pressing where it’s not possible to get my left Z O A. What would you recommend? For me it’s impossible to stop doing my normal activities in the gym and only focus on PRI exercises but would you say that it’s pointless then?
I made a video about dumbbell flys, and how to keep rotation in your torso while you do them. You don't need to maintain a ZOA 24/7. You just want to have it when you leave the gym and go on about your daily life.
Hey Neal, I have a question about the left sidebending strain. Do you know any cases of someone who got their cranial bones back to neutral from a left sidebend with PRI exercices, foot orthotics, vision therapy and without doing anything extensive like orthodontics/surgery? If a crossbite is present, is it impossible to get out of the strain? I have a crossbite on the left molar but I don't favor it. I think I have a pattern that is literally the opposite of yours (my left palatal line is more forward than my right palatal line)
Also, how can I tell a left sidebend strain from a left torsion?
Yes, in general left sidebends are easy to resolve because it’s really just the right TMCC pattern with a little more visible facial asymmetry.
The difference between the two would probably be the position of the sphenoid. I’m not an expert on that however.
@@NealHallinan but what if teeth have shifted over time? can it still be resolved even if there is a crossbite on the left?
Would you mind explain which PIR techniques you have done for improvement of your body balance?in your future videos please say more details about your PRI?STEP BY STEP.
I appreciate you.
Regards
I've done virtually every PRI technique that exists. All the techniques are trying to accomplish the same things, just in different positions and different levels of difficulty. Unfortunately I can't answer your question because we are all individuals with different challenges. You can't treat a Patho PEC client/patient the same as you would a simple Left AIC patterned individual. They are world's apart. What would work for a Left AIC patterned individual could end up hurting a patho PEC. That's why I can only talk about PRI concepts and encourage people to seek help from a professional
My left ribcage sticks out and seems misaligned, and doing rows seems to cause issues in my lat and shoulder blade on the left side, how can i fix this?
Wow I have all this , raises hip to the left right nipple is higher than left one , constant tight lower left side of back , flat feet , on even jaw , snaggle tooth on left k9 constant neck/trap tightness , left hip joint pain but less mobility on my right , I’m only 22 and fit and very active thought I was alone in this had no idea all this was connected
There are lots more connections than people think. The body is all "one".
Thank you so much
this is the first channel that comes close to explaining my OCD level body awareness and how i have been healing my injuries... this is ground breaking stuff man... and i think it's all 100% correct.. just one thing I think is important to remember - we were not designed to walk around straight like pencils... we're designed to move around more like MMA fighters do... with our knees bent... and with one foot in front of another... we're not suppose to be perfectly balanced... many people have one longer leg... or a longer arm.. or what not... but, by standing more with our knees bent.. legs shoulder width... and using our feet arches, heels barely kissing the floor and bent knees - this is how humans have walked around for thousands of years... in the wilderness... stalking prey... or exploring through nature... our bodies are still geared more towards physical activity - than sitting around all day - we're designed to move around over rocks.. sand... forests... up and down hills..
we are going through a painful evolution as our bodies evolve and adapt to... terrible shoes, beds, chairs, clothes, thoughts, activities, behaviors... and pretty much everything in our modern world...
kudos to you man.. you're going to help take healing to a new level of awareness that many of us are already secretly doing because no one would ever understand the things we are experiencing - APE
Where is the topic please how to correct lateral pelvic tilt?Only dooms.
Hey Neil! How long did it take for you to start noticing your cranium reshaping? I got a MOOO from Torin Berge in Lincoln 6 months ago. I am finally pain-free but have not noticed any cranium reshaping. I have the exact same cranium structure as you once did.
I'm not sure everyone's cranium will reshape. I had no clue that it would occur. No pain is the biggest benefit.
Have you seen anyone with the condition “hemiparesis”, I have it and it’s contributed to all the postural differences in my body, I’m unable to contract or flex my entire right side as strong as my left so it creates muscle imbalances. You kind of alluded to it in the video about it being in the brain, what do you think are the steps I should take?
Thank you.
I have heard of it, but it's not something I have any experience with. Perhaps a PRI certified PT could help you with it.
Hey neal my right leg is bending towards the left side from knee , but my left shoulder is upward, what is actually happening can you please tell me
I fixed it last year but now it’s back , it was my left jaw that was tilted up last year got it fixed but now it’s on my right, what exercises can we do at home
I was curious as I have right side contact of my jaw more than my left. I can flex my right masseter much easier but it takes more mind muscle control for my left. Also my right eye is terrible for distance and only can see good up close. My left eye is basically perfect in both up close and long distance. Any thoughts?
Well, our visual system can become patterned when our body is too patterned. Our right eye is used more for closer/periphery and our left eye becomes more dominant for distance. Once you get the left side of your body and left peripheral vision more involved, that could change.
Would love to see a video about „Neal Hallinan’s workout routine”.
That's a secret, Maciej. But here is the easy explanation: gluten-free.
@@NealHallinan No glutes-related workout? "Without strong glutes you will never be able to stabilize pelvis" you once said.
Hi Neal, I have something similar .What I have is tight right SCM , tight right rhomboid and right low back , tight right glute and tinnitus on my left ear ..Is this the same issue that you're describing?? And what should I do exactly to fix it??
There is no PRI specialist in my country...please advise.
Thanks
Curious can a deviated septum that aims the nose towards the right also affects breathing contribute to this. Baseball injury happened when I was young never got it fixed, honestly never I knew I had it as I think I was already right sided adapted, but now I can't unsee it. Found out when I got covid and they tried to put something up my nose and the nurse was having trouble and told me I had a deviated septum
When i do jump rope, my right foot always be the first to fatigue. Is that a sign to left aic pattern?
Hi l have lateral pelvic tilt l realized 1 week ago, l have face distinction and one eye is different and my left shoulder is upper than left my right side of face is bigger than left, and l have migren and l have a chest distinction also right pelvic is different from left. What should l do ?
im struggle with this this. thx for info
You're welcome.
My jaw to the left
Do I use splint ?
Does my teeth are the origin or I only do pri exersices?
Is lateral pelvic tilt the same as a rotated pelvis? My right side hip is higher and it rotates to the left and is more anterior than the left.
After I lay down and relax/ force my spine to be straight, I feel that my jaw is unaligned with the rest of my body. Suggestions?
Could a right foot with overpronation due to MANY years of wearing terrible haviana sandals push my body to be stuck in the left AIC pattern? I have the overpronated foot, APT, lateral tilt, SI joint issues, lumbar lordosis, mild scoliosis, and loss off cervical neck, and trouble breathing. when I watched your video to put a towel under arch of right foot, it certainly felt different but I don't know or can't explain how. but the tension in my pelvic region eased up a bit.
I doubt the Havianas caused the overpronation of the right foot. The overpronation is a visible sign of dysfunction elsewhere in the body. It can happen with or without appropriate footwear. Ironically enough, when I had plantar fasciitis in both feet for 4 years, the only footwear I could tolerate were Havianas.
Great video. I see you are in New Jersey. How do I schedule an appointment?
Do you have videos that show the exercises you did? I have a lot of odd issues and I know I am out of balance in all areas.
Hi, great video helping me put together the pieces, what would you recommend for someone living in Australia where there are no pri providers?
I get lots of inquires from Australia. Unfortunately, PRI is so unique that it's very difficult to find other disciplines that recognize the same issues. So I don't really know.
basically your fucked in australia man you gotta fly somewhere sadly man how you doing now are things getting better?
Hey! So I have chronic left iliac crest pain and pain on the left side of my body (side ribs) and right shoulder pain. SI joint pain and pain down my front left thigh with muscle stiffness after sitting.
The left side of my pelvis is apparently hiked upward.
Just read some of your articles - they’re really helpful.
Does this mean if my pelvic tilt is higher in the left that I do exercises on my right? Just trying to get my head round it all.
Also - I have right shoulder / trap pain. Wondering if this is to do with my diaphragm / left side ribcage pain?
Did you ever figure out what side you had to workout?
@@stopgeo_engineering no :(
Hello. Left hiked pelvis can be still within the realms of left AIC pattern. It does not mean you have to do exercises in revers, but it means that a different protocol is needed to by apply.
Check out my account, i post alot of videos about this
Nice video... I corrected my teeth problem and Nick problem when I became a nose breather instead of a mouth breather
