Physical therapists have never been able to help my situation, this is exactly the crazy imbalance ive had for years, i hope to help myself with your videos, thanks 🙏
Id say definitely. Its a stress reaction in the nervous system. This is why when doing PEC reversal exercises, people tend to feel really relaxed. Just blowing up a balloon can down regulate the over stimulated nervous system. Go to the PRI playlist on this channel and begin the exercises in order. 3 exercises for a week at a time
You are the first person that explained the symptoms this detailed and i've watched tons of videos. Now i can confidently say that i suffer from PEC pattern. I've difficulties to lift things while keeping straight back, i have muscle spasms exactly where you showed and also in my rib area when i'm standing/sitting or walking. I also have pain in upper parts of my calves and in my sole and my hamstrings are extremely tight and streching does nothing long term. I often cannot breathe my lungs to their fullest, because my back and rip area are so tight. I have physical job where i lift things and walk over 20 000 steps on hard concrete floor with safety shoes which makes everything 100 X worse. Doctors don't know anything and normal physiotherapists are also clueless, at least in Finland :) Couple years ago i had many dreams in my life, but now there's only one and it is that i can overcome these issues and start living the life that i earlier did, including sports and weightlifting. I started doing some PRI techniques hoping that they ease my pain. Thank you for the great video!
Been suffering for 9 years with this please help. I understand the dynamics but what exercises should I implement? not much info out there on correcting it. I know the 90/90 sitting on floor with legs on wall. Also strengthening obliques doing more internal rotation breathing. I do the ball between the legs with squatting and breathing out the back. Anything else you can recommend? Would be greatly appreciated.
Hi VALO, Sorry to hear you have been suffering from PEC problems for a long time. Many people are from my experience. Including myself. Yes there isn’t much info out there yet about The PEC pattern or how to correct it. The research and rationale behind is about twenty year ahead of where rehab is at currently in my opinion. Start going through the playlist on this channel from the beginning in the order shown. Start with the first four exercises. They are all reversing PEC pattern exercises. Do them twice a day for a month. Then do the next four. All the best. Find a PRI practitioner near where you live. If there are any.
How are you sir? I feel pretty confident that I am dealing with being stuck in either a left aic or pec pattern but my problem is I don't know which one I'm in and so don't know which exercises to start with. Another pri specialist on youtube Neal Hallinan says it's pretty much impossible to self-assess yourself so how would I be able to figure this out on my own? Any telltale signs to indicate which pattern I'm stuck in? You mention in this video people with pec pattern often have a lot of neck tension and that is definitely me (probably the most annoying symptom I'm dealing with). But would people in the left aic pattern not also have neck tension? You also mention back spasms or something like this? I also have this symptom where certain parts of my back, particularly right side of my back is very "sensitive" and "spasms" when direct pressure is applied. The 90/90 double IR hemibridge exercise you show, my right foot feels very supinated compared to my left foot and so dragging my heel down and feeling my hamstring engage is much easier to achieve on my left foot as opposed to the right foot, could this be an indicator that I'm not in the pec pattern? Also, I have noticed that my upper body is shifted towards the left. When looking down I can sometimes see my belly button is pointed more towards the left as well as my torso it seems, and just in general my upper body always feels shifted towards the left with my right shoulder feeling and even looking more "foward" and werid compared to my left shoulder, This is indicative of a right bc pattern. Regardless of all this you and other pri specialists seem to have the experiance that most people that come to see you are in the PEC pattern so would it be my best bet to just start with PEC pattern exercises? Anyways I sincerely apologize for this loaded to the gills question, but I've just been dealing with this damn problem for so long that I'm a bit desperate right now. Thank you so much for these videos.
Usually is mate. Needs to be assessed by someone trained in PRI to be sure. Brachial chain patterns will show more heavily though. Front of chest needs expansion.
I’ve tried pri exercises from another channel. They just made me worse, tinnitus etc so I’ll probably leave it but it’s still a great video. informative.👍👍. Good luck with the channel.
@@robbym8573 sorry to hear this pattern has caused you a lot of grief mate. For the exercises to cause more tinnitus, this means two things: 1. Neck tension is a big contributor to the ringing, so any good hands on therapist can release it. 2. You will need to find a PRI or Connor Harris trained practitioner to assess you properly and take you through the exercises. Most likely teeth contact, visual system or feet are the drivers of your problem. Definitely find a good Bowen therapy and or onsen muscle energy techniques practitioner to help relieve the compression of this pattern. It also can bring the body back to neutral temporarily too.

All the best mate. Go through PRI playlist on this channel. 2-4 exercises at a time. Spend 3weeks doing them. Then change to next 2-4
👍👍
You’re a legend mate. God bless you and thank you for providing this info for free for those of us suffering and chronically anxious/stressed.
I honestly wonder if my chronic stress put me into a pec pattern causing my pelvic floor dysfunction or cpps .

Well done mate. Self education is the powerful asset for understanding the body and life. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤜🤛🏻

great video! I am in that pattern for sure. I now have a PRI trainer and he made me do some of the exercises you show in your videos as well.
That is awesome! All the best to you
Brilliant video! Thank you sir!
Thanks mate. All the best with reversing PEC pattern.
what if we have hyper kyphosis and not flat upper back, is it still PEC pattern?
Usually is mate. Needs to be assessed by someone trained in PRI to be sure. Brachial chain patterns will show more heavily though. Front of chest needs expansion.
Fantastic video.
Thank you mate. All the best with your study of PEC patterning.
