Thank you so much for your videos. Your videos led me to the PRI website which led me to my local PRI certified therapist. Learning diaphragmatic breathing gave me an almost immediate relief from my life-long chronic shoulder pain. I'm still working on my hip pain with my therapist but I'm feeling very hopeful.
I really felt the activation of my sleepy hamstrings in that exercise on the wall! The 'pulling down' of the heels and lifting of the butt created this feeling like a linear connection between the two, forming a triangle with the legs. Breathing-wise, I'm recently able to de-condition myself from doing _nothing_ with my abs when I breathe in. Now I put a slight hold in the stomach area as I breathe in and can finally feel the support it gives the diaphragm to press _downward_ ('massaging the organs' as they say). I then really feel the space above to let the air suck in to all the right places that you mention. Heaven!
Many Thanks, Neal. I need this information. I lived on my right side for a long time. This video has PRI techniques that teach your brain to use your left side again. It's life changing! Im practicing diaphragmatic breathing daily. It is a challenge, but after practicing daily, you can learn to relax and heal! It's really and truely complicated, and I could definitely use some help from a PRC. Sincerely, This video is the most helpful I've ever seen. I'm a long term chronic back pain and sciatica sufferer. I am also recovering from foot drop on my left side. Unstable left hip, lived in flexion for so long, but it is starting to turn when I breath and relax the right side... It's a painful recovery so get help and be careful everybody!
@@hotpotat0esI highly doubt you saw the video in whole and you want a physiotherapist to just spoon feed solutions for your chronic problems that only the sufferer truly knows about. A wise man or heck a sane man would consult both. Teach yourself and learn from experts. Do both and don't be so intellectually lazy where you sell your autonomy.
Hello Neal, hello best and most interesting "PRI teacher" here on the internet and beyond. Hopefully you'll come to Europe someday, it would be nice if we could learn from you. All the best, I really appreciate your videos.
Sharing this knowledge you have on RUclips is something else Doc.. watching you from Brazil, can't afford seeing a doctor and honestly, wouldn't trust them as I trust your videos. It's all love from Brazil Doc stay blessed
Thank you for this I am a GP and will definitely share with my patients Are you familiar with Isogai Specific Dynamic therapy , a technique pre Second World War developed by a Japanese pharmacist ? I think it balances diaphragm and pelvis in a way that aligns with your approach and perhaps there is synergy…
you can also rotate pelvis uncurving back and lift chest up and start using back side of diaphragm, you will see your back straightening in your mirror and with time keeping straighter back posture and not belly breathing you will see back of diaphragm expanding as you relearn using it after letting it space to expand
Hi Neal my problem with many PRI practitioners is that they use the same few techniques (90-90, book under left hand , left stance) and they don’t test or retest they just assume everyone is in the same pattern and if you don’t have Success they’ll say your not doing the exercises right . I’ve seen 3 PRCs already and was unsuccessful…. Now I plan to see Mike Cantrell & James Anderson .
At one point in the video I list all the reasons why someone may not have any success with these techniques (which are not a complete program). It’s not that the techniques don’t work, they just may not be right for the individual. Maybe you are in one of those situations and the PRC doesn’t realize it. Even if someone is PRC, they still may not have a higher level of understanding, especially when it comes to the cranium and hypermobility.
I saw Karen Hoyt at Tampa Bay area, if you are close, she is great, she will give you just what’s right for each individual. Fixed my 5 year SI joint dysfunction, chronic back and hip pain, now I can play soccer again 2 times week with no pain
These techniques seem to be clearing up my sinus congestion. Is that pretty normal once you balance out the two sides? I did your 90/90 and the abductor on the right side and it’s unbelievable how much more balanced i feel.
Very educational, thanks. Two questions: 1) In Exercise 1, why are you so specific on the small ball or toilet paper roll ? I can compress a 1/2 length light duty foam roller, activating my adductors, equally effectively. 2) In your Exercise 2, you are opening up the (smaller )left diaphragm. However, in Exercise 3, it seems like you are opening up the right, while compressing the left. What am I missing ?
I say ball or toilet paper because the legs need to actually internally rotate. Anything can be squeezed and if the object being squeezed is too wide, the legs won't adduct or IR properly. You may feel something, obviously, but the results are better when the brain actually senses the adduction and IR. It's the brain level we are working at. Every technique has me compressing the left side to dome the left diaphragm and expand the right ribcage. If I'm lateralized to my left and feel my left abs, that is what is occurring.
@NealHallinan what if someone has been working on these positions, diaphragm breathing…with intention…but still having back pain flare ups?! How quickly should you see results and then do you have to do these indefinitely to maintain the results?
My neck muscles front and back are very contracted. My wisdom tooth were removed because lack of space in my jaw. However, i am all contracted. Wiill this help? or any other video.
Hello neal been following you for a while, you are a gem that opened this rabbit holes more deeper to me, I've been consulting a PRI coach now but i haven't seen any improvement since, sometimes when I do 90 90 i get my arch back in left foot but after a day i get back to normal.... i have chipped front teeth....and i always had a popping right jaw ... could it be a jaw issue and can it be fixed without an implant with just breathing techniques
It *could* be a jaw issue, but you can only truly know through testing. But generally, when the jaw is involved, normal PRI techniques will have limited affect.
@NealHallinan Thank you so much for your response! I’ve been learning about the R TMCC by watching your videos and reading your posts frequently. I really appreciate the work you do! So, the mandible should shift to the left. Since mine shifts to the right, could the right torsion theory be applicable (instead of left side bending)? Additionally, my head tilts more easily to the right and rotates more easily to the left. If the occiput is lower on the right, the temporal bone should be in external rotation on the right, causing the mandible to deviate to the right. Does this make sense, or is it too complex to understand online? Also my face seems bigger on the left half and more narrow/rounded on the right!😄
Neal, considering how much vision can affect mechanics, have you addressed amblyopia? I haven't found any content of yours addressing this. For instance, I have an eye turn in my left eye causing my eyes to not work together properly and my brain essentially "turns off" my left eye. I"m wondering how this would affect my body and if this could be fixed. As I understand it, there is potential to regain proper binocular vision but it would require intensive vision therapy over many months/years.
Ok so my left QL is soooo bad. Is it because it’s too short underuse or too long overuse? It does feel good when I stretch either one. Can get very confusing trying to understand it. Thanks Neal.
Hey! I’ve seen tons of your videos but I don’t know how were you able to fix really your issues. In my case my asymmetry started in face possible due to brackets and teeth extractions and then it went to my shoulders and rest of the body. Could you tell me if you used a palate expansor or how did you fix your issue?
When the hip flexors cramp, that is the left AIC pattern. Your brain is using your hip flexors to push down into the towel instead of the adductor. Most likely, some area of your neck/back/hip hasn't "let go" enough to allow for the correct movement to occur. It will not be helpful to continue doing it. The others still may help though.
Any idea why my left big toe keeps sticking up? I've gone through 3 pairs of hruska list shoes because my left big toe keeps pressing on the top of the shoe and eventually tears through it.
As a hypermobile person it’s really hard for me to sense the right spots. Are there any specific details to consider when doing the exercise since the normal ones might not work for people like me as mentioned in the video?
I have pectus on my right chest lifelong of course. A flared right ribs, very athletic and I play a lot of golf. But my problem is I feel like I'm twisted to the left. I'm a right-handed golfer. I started getting tremendous back pain. SI pain groin pain... Last 3 to 5 years. It's been horrible. I could use your help in my posture restoration. How do we start
Flared right ribs is sometimes a sign of a compensatory activity in the lower spine or neck area, or possibly loosening of the lower right back ligaments that connect your lower spine to the pelvis on the right side. You'll need to find a Postural Restoration Institute credentialed therapist to help you. It's not something you can really do on your own.
I think i pulled my diaphragm/ obliques rotating back / sides...not from your video but as a result of all of the above. Does this point at anything else i can do? I surf and hockey. Bottom of my ribcage rotating, i think i pulled my diaphragm lol
No, he didn't say it wrongly. For the ribcage, PRI has discovered that we as asymmetrical human beings have a tendency to compress our left posterior ribcage and our right anterior, lateral and apical ribcage. Now, one could lack the ability to breath into both the left and right posterior mediastinums (area on/in the posterior ribcage), which means you need to learn how to breath into your right posterior mediastinum as well. I don't think the technique and the side he is doing it on is the correct one for that. If you do it with the opposite arm and leg, maybe.
Neal I need help I have no quality of life I have a jaw teeth maybe and maybe vision issue. I’m in Utah. Salt lake. If I get a splint made which idk if I can even find a dentist to do so that isn’t set in their ways. If I wear a splint with a crooked cranium do I have to wear this forever ? Or what do I do after ? Don’t help anyone over video ? I need to talk to someone. 😢😢😢😢
If you can speak to smiles source dentistry in west Houston , they are probably the best at this , it’s run by Mike Cantrell and James Anderson 2 of the 3 founders of PRI.
While Mike and James may be able to help, I would just note that they are not co-founders of PRI and are no longer associated with PRI. They are doing something different now that is their own creation.
You can try, just go very slowly and DON'T try to work through any discomfort. SI joint pain can happen for so many reasons. Rather, there are so many influences that can stress out an SI joint. For me it was coming from my jaw and neck. The SI joint was just the victim. I've made videos about this subject.
Thanks to you i’m currently trying an acrylic dental splint. First day was amazing. Perfect soft neck, not even a little bit of rounded shoulder/winged scapula both obliques active and not letting my low back/pelvis arch, hip flexor perfectly perpendicular and super grounded. Feeling perfectly stacked. Now it’s 5 days wearing it and i’m noticing my Jaw is starting to shift to the right and in general sort of losing all of the gains. Do you have any ideas on what is going on? Thanks again for all your content, making me feel every day nicer.
@ i went to two different orthodontist, the first one said my occlusion was ok, the second one said the same but on a dental point of view. The normal orthodontist test for malocclusion said i had perfect occlusion on both side. I insisted saying that when i close my mouth the first sensation is just a touch on the left. So her supposition is that my issue is neuro muscular: in order to make my right molar touch i had to compensate with my neck. So we decide to go for a splint, which is basically a print of your lower dental arch. Now i have to wear it for a month so that my compensation reset, then they will see if i still have a perfect occlusion. If not, I’m probably going to wear another splint to correct my Jaw. None of pri practitioners were included because the are none in my country, just studied something by myself and hoping that the doctors will listen.
I have a feeling your hamstrings (or at least the left hamstring) isn't a big part of your life right now. Perhaps your left calf muscles have become your new left hamstring. Not uncommon.
@NealHallinan that's fascinating. Recently I've been using this "rolling bar". Along my leg muscles on a step. Overall, unlocks me like nothing I've done before. When I get to my calves. They are like stones (but I can't feel them as such) . After I've rolled them out... Feels like a new body! 😄 Thanks for the comment. Love your videos!
@@NealHallinan now that i have your attention, i am so right side dominant its not even funny. Everyday i can feel myself using my left leg as a stick to get onto my right side. I think slowing down and doing these exercises will help. but it will be short term if i dont get out of my paranoid fear based mind which is the real problem, just ranting.

Happy to hear that. These are some very basic techniques used in Postural Restoration, but they can be helpful for the right person.
Having watched lots of your videos, which I've loved, this is the quick one stop video! You've been the best help I've ever had. Thanks Neal
It is quick, but I always worry people won't have enough understanding of why they are used. I had to really limit myself.

I really felt the activation of my left hamstring after i took my shoes off after that i started breathing easily can i do it without shoes ?
Hey neal, does the scm bring the temporal bone in external rotation or internal rotation?
@@vincevallefuoco1082 The right SCM pulls the right temporal bone into internal rotation. In PRI that is called the Right TMCC pattern.

Are there any researches about the effeciacy of diaphragmal breathing over just exercises or manual therapy or walking?
My left hip Flexors are cramping at the last exercise, should i push trough it or just do the other exercises?
