  • Powerful posture starts with pelvic stability, and pelvic stability requires proximal hamstring control. Without it, diaphragmatic breathing and non-compensatory movement is impossible.

    Hey thanks so much! Wanted to share with you about a guy I met today at the supermarket- could hardly walk so me and security assisted him. I asked him what music he liked - he replied Eagles - so I put Eagles on my phone and his gait moved forward and eased up and he began walking easier.

    I've seen quite a few videos on PRI and especially about the importance of the hamstrings but this is the first video where it made sense. I was thinking hamstring as leg flexion and not as pull of the hip to neutral. Really informative, super helpful.

    • @NealHallinan
      @NealHallinan  8 месяцев назад +7

      It certainly does both, but pulling the pelvis back to neutral is by the far most important. It sets the stage for proper knee flexion.

    Thank you so much Neal!
    What you describe in this video explains explains what I've been with my entire life, perfectly.
    The poorly developed face and and very crooked teeth I developed are because of my posture. My anxiety, depression and low energy I've dealt with my whole life is because I'm not grounded and my diaphragm is frozen. My locked up jaw post braces is cause my head is stuck forward with an adjusted bite.
    All the dots have now been connected and I've got work to do developing muscles I've barely ever activated my whole life. But knowing I have the answer has me very excited for the first time in a while. You have no idea what this means.
    Thank you for sharing this Neal 🙏

    This corresponds 100% to everything I feel during/after my posture exercises, a.o. leg curls. PT’s remarks that the position of my pelvis is incorrect but the leg curls pull them there. Therefore, the only way to avoid that is a rounded back. Going back to the gym, using their rounded support. Thank you so much !

Im 19 and I have all the hip problems, knee joint pain, ringing ears etc. ive been able to activate my left proximal hamstring but my right is still incredibly stubborn, i have to twist and pop it to get access to those muscles and they are very weak and painful. Still struggle with upper back and tons of neck pain due to compensation but im getting there! Thanks a million

Omega fun to dance at the party, quite different from learning experience :) I dance mostly Salsa Cubana (in Bachata I only know "main step"). Life is so much different nowadays since I got my PRI orthotics from United States, but most changed after I got to my cranium unlocked by great orthodontic treatment here in Poland (it will be 2 years in march). It completely gave me new life, new breath.. Gained all range of motion in my ribcage tests with ease. Spectacular.

    I am a massage therapist and love your videos. I see the patterns you describe all the time. I was wondering what you would recommend a massage therapist could do to best help the general population that is ungrounded and cannot diaphragmatically breathe. Answering here would be great or a quick video would be absolutely amazing and i'm sure would help many other therapists. Thanks Neal!!!

    • @NealHallinan
      @NealHallinan  8 месяцев назад +7

      Hmm....good question. I'd recommend taking the PRI Postural Respiration course, where there are many manual techniques that could be used by massage therapists to get people neutral. Helping expand and "pump the ribcage" (alternation) is the goal with manual work. But cranial-sacral could help too, especially if you know how to mobilize temporal bones and de-compress the cranial base. I'll give it more thought and make a video at some point.

    @sitapatel7299 8 месяцев назад +2

    OMG this video has just come at the perfect time. I’ve only discovered your channel about a month ago and recently realised I can’t feel my hamstrings much at all! Question is do I need to strengthen them as well as the pri techniques? I’m quad dominant due to lots of running before all of my chronic pain issues started about a year ago. I now think I’ve lost my left ZOA and have a PEC pattern too from watching some of your videos. My left bottom rib is definitely flared if not both sides and I can’t engage my core or breathe without using my neck and chest. I actually walk with my chest out front and bum out back….never realised this is bad until I discovered you! I wish I’d found you months ago, shame we don’t have any PRI specialists in the UK, so any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated 😊

    • @sitapatel7299
      @sitapatel7299 8 месяцев назад

      I’ve also been told I’m hyper mobile by a chiropractor a few years ago. My left leg also falls outwards, when I walk I can feel it moving out and in as I stride, so internal rotation is poor on the left 😢

    • @NealHallinan
      @NealHallinan  8 месяцев назад +2

      Restoring "posture" in the sense that I'm talking about in this video doesn't require anything beyond PRI techniques. It's "neuromuscular strength" that we are looking for, which is simply getting your brain back in touch with your body. More somatic than physical training. But as I talk about, figuring out why someone can't feel their proximal hamstrings is what the science of PRI is all about (usually instability and neck tension is playing a role). You may want to try the standing technique I reference in this video, which is more fully explained in the actual video.

    • @sitapatel7299
      @sitapatel7299 8 месяцев назад

    This is finally the aha moment I needed. I now really understand the 90/90 exercise now and where I should feel the hamstrings. I feel them closer to the middle, so now I have a better understanding of what I need to feel. Just through breathing I have been able to shut my left hip flexor off at night to get better sleep than I have been lately. What are your thoughts on exercises like single leg deadlifts? Or is really doing the tug of war you mention? Also which video is it with the one where you do the breathing exercise. Can you add it to your description pls.

    • @NealHallinan
      @NealHallinan  8 месяцев назад +1

      There is a card at around the 6 minute mark that links to the video. If you are neutral and stay on your heel it’ll work the hamstring just fine. There is a world of difference between people who can couple abdominal control with hip muscle control. They won’t overuse their lower back bc they don’t need to.

  • @acardinalconsideration824
    @acardinalconsideration824 8 месяцев назад +5

    It looks like I’m going to finally be getting my permanent retainer removed from my lower row of teeth tomorrow! The permanent retainer that had kept fixed in place my artificially created cross-bite & contributed in keeping my jaw trapped in a dysfunctional state for the past decade. They’re likely going to have me wear a dental deprogrammer for a little while. From there, I’ll likely either buy a stabilization splint or get Invisalign. I know it’s difficult to say without seeing me in person, but I’m curious, what are your thoughts? Do you think you will eventually get braces or stick with your stabilization splint? As always, thank you!

    • @NealHallinan
      @NealHallinan  8 месяцев назад +3

      Are you in the US? If so, are you working with a PRI therapist? The neck lateral flexion test that I show in this video is hugely important in order to know whether your neck is neutral or not. The position of the neck influences jaw position and thus occlusion.

    • @acardinalconsideration824
      @acardinalconsideration824 8 месяцев назад +1

      @@NealHallinan​ Thank you for the reply. I’m not currently working with a PRI therapist, I’ve tried to get in touch with a couple of them near me but haven’t had much luck. But after watching your videos, I was able to discover just how misaligned my jaw has been as a consequence of my severe cross bite. Lots of cranial torsion that has effected my entire body. I just had my ears cleaned out for the first time in years, the right side was incredibly impacted and the left was clear.
      I’ve been wearing a custom molded mouth guard while doing exercises and it has helped tremendously. I’m hoping that the stabilization splint that I’m getting in two weeks will help function as a great long-term treatment. Im going to try and get my body as neutral as possible before my dentist makes the proper adjustments to it. Do you continue to use your splint as a necessary tool in maintaining neutrality?

    you continue to blow my mind, sir. I feel like you'd have a great practice alongside an "attachment style" therapist. The connection being the way the mind is involved in holding trauma in the body form. And maybe a dentist and an ENT as well... all in the same office. The four of you together advocating for patients would be a huge plug in our leaky healthcare system. They are so connected and yet kept so far apart by our current paradigm.

  • @johnstiner6360
    @johnstiner6360 8 месяцев назад

    🛑 @ 9090 you will not feel the hamstring at the bum; you’ll for sure feel it at the knee. You will never get the proper hamstring activation using the 9090 position. The legs need to be completely straight and extended to access the proximal hamstrings at the pelvis. Those that feeling their hamstrings at the posterior knee are correct. Neal you got this wrong; look at the joint angle.. you’ll get it I’m sure.

  • @zeev
    @zeev 8 месяцев назад

    the weight machine for hamstrings is good but you wanna focus on the range of motion should be limited to the squeeze of the proximal part. going through the whole motion may make your mid hamstrings strong...which is the problem!

    Kettlebell goblet squat works great too because it helps keep a vertical torso and prevents leaning forward. Visualize hinging from the knees. You need to recruit your hamstrings glutes, and pelvic floor to keep from falling backwards and ascend to standing from that position. Its a 90/90 with the feet in the floor

  • @SketchedbySte

    Amazing video Neal. I've been seeing PRI therapists for over 10 years so a lot of this is very familiar to me now. But no one has ever explained any of it in this much detail to me. I constantly get asked where I feel it, but when it's my left hamstring it's usually the lower portion where it gets me, never near the butt. When I have asked if this is okay I usually get told ' we will take it ' so I always assumed it was fine. Wish someone had explained it this well to me years ago. I also have the overly built lower back muscles which I have always thought looked odd :(. Still trying to improve myself but I have never had any look at all as I think it'd dental I need (apparently). I'm curious which dental devices you use over there. I have a deep bite and am trying to test out a 'tanner' currently, someone suggested it will give some height / decompression. Have you heard of that one? Very interesting stuff as always. Thanks for sharing

    • @NealHallinan
      @NealHallinan  8 месяцев назад

      It took me 8 years before I got a glimpse of proximal hamstrings on either side, yet I still made dramatic improvement. As a "cranial" patient, I know that cranial issues make true pelvic stability (without the TFL/hip flexors trying to kick in) difficult to achieve. As my cranium has become more symmetrical, my ability to stabilize without TFL interference has increased dramatically. I only used a normal mandibular splint that PRI uses to give occlusal "reference" and thus relax the neck. I haven't heard of a tanner.

      Yes, it is much more exaggerated version of right BC. Btw. Is the left rib flare of the ribcage a sign that, just like pelvis and cranium, it is also turned towards the right? If so, playing the violin def keeps the player in a right BC pattern permanently. The only solution is to switch sides. I will demonstrate it one day. Thank you so much, Neal!

    the hip flexors get demoniZed too much
    its often the deep hip external rotators that actually are the problem
    proximal hamstrings are internal rotators the distal hamstring is more of an external rotator and can be part of the problem in these PEC types
    extended posture is usually too much external rotation

  • @JS-iu3ni
    @JS-iu3ni 8 месяцев назад

    You could improve this technique by adding Buteyko style breathing instead of mouth breathing as it achieves best diaphragmatic breathing but builds STRENGTH in the diaphragm by emphasing nasal breathing with specific los slow soft breathing techniques. I have use Patrick McKeown’s Buteyko / oxygen advantage and it massively improved all my physio and Pilates progress and made all my breathing muscles and spine SO MUSCH STRONGER! Just from the Buteyko alone. When I paired this with your exercises it was like a revolutionary breakthrough. Noses are for breathing. Mouths are for eating! Don’t breath out through your nose! There are many important functions of nose breathing! Also, nose breathing changes our airway, and thus our posture as well!!! Proven by evidence

    • @NealHallinan
      @NealHallinan  8 месяцев назад

      Exhaling through the mouth helps people bring their ribcage into internal rotation, which is necessary. They are hyperinflated. Exhaling through the mouth is standard for PRI techniques only.

    I thik this explains "manspreading" :). I find it tiring while sitting to keep my knees close together, the hip flexor muscle gets tired.. what do you suggest? btw, you changed my life, 10yrs of the tight hip, psoas i couldn't keep my knees together and pull it to my chest without spreading it as the pain was unbearable. just standing on my left heal and taking a breathe got my hip in the position to do it. thank you! I'm trying all your exercises, but would love to know which is the most effective to reduce the tired feeling i'm getting in the front hip inner groin when sitting ?

    Great video! I was curious about what your opinion is regarding prolotherapy for laxity especially for those who are patho PEC? I saw a doctor perform a prolotheprapy session for the upper cervial spine. so, would a treatment healing the unstability of the upper cervical instability contribute somehow to better grouning?

    Hi Neal, thanks for another great video, I have a question, when doing the 90-90 hip shift, if it was done properly, does feeling the left proximal hamstring include both of the medial and biceps femoris in a proximal part? Or should u just feel the proximal medial hamstring (annihilating the bicep femoris)? Asking this because in left AIC the left bicep femoris was mentioned to be overactive

    Hi Neal, could losing the correct proximal hamstring positions, directly or indirectly, cause piriformis syndrome and sciatica?

    • @NealHallinan
      @NealHallinan  8 месяцев назад

      Oh, definitely. Once you lose pelvis position/stability, the right and left piriformins can becomes overactive/overused for leg movement, though for different reasons on each side.

    Neal, question for you. I am dealing with the same occlusion and vision issues that you experienced and am seeing a PRI trained DPT. I have a dentist working on a bite splint that will be ready in a couple of weeks, but curious for your thoughts on when I should engage the PRI vision D.O. into the process? Should I spend an amount time with PRI with the bite splint before engaging the PRI Vision DO, or should I reach out ASAP? I’ve heard you say the jaw affects the vision, so my thinking is that it’s better to wait a bit to hopefully get the jaw and neck muscles to relax some before seeking vision guidance?

    If one felt the hamstrings near the knees, and they were terribly weak, how would they approach strength training via leg curls? Should we train daily with low volume and intensity, space it out during the week, do a high volume training session one a week or something else?

    Neal, any tips on costochondritis? Chest/rib pain? Can left AIC right BC pattern cause chest pain on the right side due to overactive scalene muscles pulling the rib cage up during inhalation? Would love to hear back from you, t thanks for the video!

    • @NealHallinan
      @NealHallinan  8 месяцев назад

      It's certainly possible. If one or more areas of the ribcage spend too long in a non-expanded state, ribs get tight. You can feel how some people's ribs are unbelievably rigid while others are completely supple.

  • @jake_with_the_BIG_snake
    @jake_with_the_BIG_snake 7 месяцев назад

    wouldn't the psoas be under active if your pelvis is forward? i don't get that the opposite would be true if you look at the muscle fibers. also couldn't you test if this was the case with a "thomas" test? from what i have gathered it is both the psoas and the hamstrings that together pull the pelvis in the correct position from each side.
    i mean the excercise with the ball and feet towards the wall is great that you show! i have benefited greatly from it. but i can't understand how the psoas is not firing when you actually squeeze a ball between your legs. sure it is stimulating the muscle in a neuromuscular way

    • @NealHallinan
      @NealHallinan  7 месяцев назад +1

      It’s involved in external rotation of the left leg and lumbar spine rotation to the opposite side, which is what is happening in the left AIC pattern. Inhibition in this context simply means reducing its inappropriate activity.

    • @jake_with_the_BIG_snake
      @jake_with_the_BIG_snake 7 месяцев назад

      @NealHallinan aha so if I understand you correctly, inhibition of psoas in this sense of a left AIC individual actually means inhibiting the left psoas and activating the right psoas(with ball between legs)
      Also that would then mean activating left adductor and inhibiting right adductor
      In the context of the 90/90 feet on wall and hip lift, also to activate left hamstring and inhibition of right hamstring. In order to pull pelvis straight!
      All these muscle groups then work In balance together to keep pelvis neutral and both feet straight 👌
