Why Movement and Breathing Have to be Addressed Simultaneously
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 кві 2021
- Movement and breathing are intimately linked, though not coupled. This means that our movement occurs independently from our breathing, but they are still connected through our muscles and fascia.
The same muscles that are involved in compensatory, non-diaphragmatic breathing, are also involved in compensatory position of extension and compensatory movement. Non-compensatory breathing relies on non-compensatory postural stability and vice versa.
Therefore it is pointless to try and fix breathing mechanics without also fixing postural stability and movement. Likewise it's pointless to fix faulty movement without simultaneously addressing breathing mechanics.
Postural Restoration recognizes this truth of human physiology and that's why PRI techniques can not be done properly without position of the body, muscular timing, and respiration all being addressed at once.

Wow! Thank you! I feel like I just hit the jackpot! I’m 84 and have been trying to connect the dots for over 20 yrs. Lots of history but I’ll cut to the chase. One second I’m walking ‘normally’….at my usual gait…and suddenly, my hips tilted forward so that my back became a concave shape like a swayback. Instantly, my gait shortened. That was in 2000. New symptoms and more pain. In 2002, had first episode of (what we’re calling) myoclonus. The abs, diaphragm (and colon?) contracted and released at the rate of 2 times per second. Sounds like an exaggeration but isn’t. Very painful. Panted like a dog…would last for an hour until the ambulance got there. ER would give me an IV of Valium. It would stop immediately. I’d have a nap and go home. I started with Western method, neurologists, MRI’s and worked my way to the East…acupuncture, etc. Am currently with Feldenkrais and biofeedback. It’s helping somewhat but still need a walker to get around. The myoclonus starts to threaten and I take a small dose of Valium to ward it off. Anty exercises you can give an 84 yr old who can’t get onto the floor or bring her knee into her chest would be so appreciated! Thanks again.❤
It's amazing how interconnected everything is
🤣
You are the most helpful yt channel for pri, needed years to find that amd iam so thankful!
Good to see you and your new videos, Neal, thank you!
Please don't stop making these, super informative, especially for us people who don't live in the US and so don't have much of pri going on around us... I see people Walking around in patterns everywhere now once you know what to look for. Revolutionary and super important
Yes, once you "see it" you can't unsee it. PRI is gaining some traction in Europe at least.
For what it's worth, I've lived in the US my whole life and this channel is the only place I've heard of Postural Restoration
Hi Neal
I want to thank you for all the videos you post on UA-cam. I have immersed myself with them these past few weeks. From what I have learned so far, PRI is going to be life changing. It already has made an impact on me.
Your past medical history sounds somewhat close to mine with some deviations. Not quite the same visual disorder, but mine added fuel to the fire of my Left AIC pattern.
I don’t have any questions. Just wanted to reach out and thank you. Hope you are having a great May.
Thanks, Brad. Visual disorders can be strong drivers of the left AIC, right BC, right TMCC patterns. Good luck in your journey.
Two years later. How did it go ? Did you persist in your training? Has it been beneficial?
still learning. thank you for sharing!
Hey this is a really great video. Very good information.
Thank you so much neal !
Thank you so much!
amazing science really-
Pri is changing my life
still fighting but i can see real changes
i have forefoot or metatarsal varus
( i guess lateral pelvic tilt causes this )
a history of 3 years- plus of plantar fasciitis in my left foot
an eyeglasses issue as well - trying to solve this as well as i realized lately that my eyeglasses are pushing me to an instable stance while without them i can feel my arches
Hi Neil, I just ran across your videos and I'm really interested in this. 55's just slammed into me and I'd like to start using this information. My question is.. Where do I start? There are a lot of videos! And I did take anatomy (a long time ago) but this is new to me. Lastly, THANK YOU for documenting your progress. 😊💕
Do you have a simple step-by-step video how to achieve these results?
Explanation is great! Sounds very complicated how to perform these tasks without specific instruction to do so.
It’s awesome to watch your body change from video to video. For instance, your jaw is becoming more and more defined.
I noticed that as well. I have lots of "before" and "after" pictures. The jaw looks more defined because my entire cranium has re-aligned into a more "neutral" pattern. My nose won't budge, though!
Are you open to facial techniques/massage? That may or may not help.
Can you expand on how the neck muscles try to help you breathe? Or do you possibly have a video on the topic?
Hi there would you do a video about pandiculation/somatic work ?many thanks
Is there a way to work with you online? I am Olympic athlete. Thank you
Sir,i do barbel squat a lot and i have left aic pattern and i have a very tight left quad and a tight left psoas.now I’m facing problems with walking like I can’t shift to the left and my right lower back always remains active in everything and my hip doesn’t rotate to left .i also have right piriformis syndrome .should i stretch my left quad and hip flaxor beside pri exercises? A suggestion will be great for me
I have COPD and when I’m having trouble all of my muscles that go up into my neck hurt because of the stress on them and my psoas is a problem on my right side. L4andL5 scoliosis v
Curved . And C2 C3 deteriated disk plus all that that you just said lol😅
Neal I have very extended right side and hump on the right side. And my right scapula is winged. Can you explain it to me why is my right side extended instead of left?
Can you link an explanation with exercise?
Great Video! I do understand movement and breathing are coupled. Recently, I Just got this idea, breahing is giving movement a buffer range for normal movement occur. For instance, when I want a 180 degree shoulder flexion, I need anterior ribs ER, but if I stuck in extension pattern, which means I have already be in a state of anterior ribs ER, so I might not be able to get full shoulder flexion. Correct me if I'm wrong. A fan from China.
Hi Ian. Shoulder flexion is confusing and took me many years to understand from a PRI perspective. I'm going to make a video about it. In actuality we don't want to ER our ribs when we perform shoulder flexion. If we did, that would result in extension of the back. We need our ribcage to move opposite of the raising arm. So as the arm moves forward and up, our ribcage needs to move back and down, which is more of anterior rib IR. Thought of another way, the clavicle needs to rotate up while the ribs stabilize. If the ribs rotate up with the clavicle, you'll overuse your upper traps.
@@NealHallinan Thanks for your answering. Looking forward your video.
Hey Neal, I think am in a right torsion. Jaw slightly to the right, nose as well and right eye is lower. Less space for the tongue on the right. Right shoulder is higher. My right floating rib is protruding more than left. And I also have chicken legs perhaps because I have no hamstring, because both my legs are externally rotated and I might be mainly quad dominant. When I was working out (not now because I'm doing a PRI program) I could do 200-300kg on leg press but in conventional squat I'd struggle with 100kg.
My PRI therapist told me to do the Supine Hooklying Hamstring with IO/ TA and I've been doing it about twice a day since 9th of April. What do you think about supplementing with hamstring work like nordic curls? I tried to do a few doing like 1/3 of the movement before falling on my face lol and then on the next day felt more stable and had soreness on hamstrings (more on left ham) and lower abs (as I also performed them with proper form so that my butt is not sticking out etc.) And that was only 3 reps for one set, like.... not even having a proper workout and I think I felt a difference. What are your thoughts?
Personally I’d stick with just PRI techniques. You’re going to create too much tension with weight training. Right torsions need way LESS tension in their lives.
Does double jaw surgery mess with the vestibular system or does it help? I have an overbite and told by multiple surgeons to get double jaw surgery.
Ok hallin now liste,
Can you tell you some execerices for belly that comes out without the support of other musculature. Breathing and all have done ,, or are there any special exercises for pri friendly and whic works. Im of his tummy now please. Thanks
I need your help.
My pelvis in uneven.my right ilium is higher than the left.when i stand straight i feel a bit of stretch in my left leg.i fell tension in my Right neck , right side of my back.my right shoulder is little bit lower the left.i fell tension in right back if i sit for a long.i have an asymmetrical face.my right chekbone,eye area is expanded. I used to stand on my right lege a lot.i also cracked my right neck .i think my mid line is distorted.plzz help.what can i do?
@neal help me with breathing I tend to stop my breathe and then up and down unsteady , I have back pain ,pelvis pain and bit big belly too. I started tucking my tummy to hide the belly and now it is one of the reason for breathing difficulties as it’s been some year doing so . It may have taken pattern,,any help
My breathing stops when I do exercise.
I’m sure I am a left aic pattern however I can never feel any tightness in the left diaphragm, I always feel my right diaphragm as tight always ? my right psoas is always tight and not the left any thoughts ?
Most people won’t feel a tense left diaphragm and probably not the left hip flexor either. Feeling tightness on the right side is normal in both the hip flexor and right abdominals/intercostals.
So you have to work on breathing with your diafragma to not interfere the other muscles work?
Yes, but it's already built into every PRI technique if done properly.
What about a tightened chest.. will a change in the teeth alignment help with the breathing
If the teeth are not touching properly, or the jaw is mispositioned, then your breathing may be impacted negatively.
Say we have slight scoliosis, but it is twisting a rib on my left side cuz well they are connected. My chiro adjusts physical structure and I notice I breathe in lower diaphragm a bit better. But it doesn't stay. My hips shift overtime and whole process keeps repeating.... Muscle? Spinal mechanics?
Slight scoliosis may simply be the pattern. I have some interviews with PRI scoliosis experts. You should watch them all.

@@NealHallinan I will ty. It also may be result from car crash I was in.. I've had major improvements. And Believe I am transitioning in/out of ZOA, but it doesn't stick. I can tilt my pelvis,correct my tongue posture and breathe in and there it is, diaphragm expands correctly etc. But it never stays! I can't figure out root cause..
I believe I'm in a left aic pattern but my right side of the body looks alot like a anterior pelvic tilt.....I'm not sure what I have...how can I asses what I actually have ?
Possibly PEC from my research. Any progress? I just started and have been in anterior pelvic tilt my entire life. Skateboarder and drummer. Def Left aic but possibly PEC
@@kcmman9323 my advice is...forget about PRI and watch Bill hartman...everything will make sense i promise u....PRI...is just another name for old school idealogies...check out Bill hartman
@@mayazeppy6322 any specific ones? Or have to dig and watch lots? Thanks for the reply.
So how do you get stable
If you are new to the channel, it's devoted to Postural Restoration. That's the discipline that is devoted to fixing what I talk about in the video.
Sound quality poor on my phone.
Ur a genius
❤
This proves the prophet Muhammad (RIP) was RIGHT. As a boxer, Iwork both sides. This video was really usefull.
Amazing content"
Can you please take me as a client? I really need professional PRI help, I know you mentioned you won't do any more clients but if you can consider it'll be really good for me. :/
Hi Neal could you give me Matt's mail address, I'd like to ask him a few questions about his eustachian tube problem ?
it is absurd - every few minutes the video is cut for abvertisement! just unbelievable!
