Podcast Episode 4 - The Most Important Mindset Shift for Managing Asymmetries

Welcome to another insightful episode of Chaplin Performance Podcast!
Whether you're watching on UA-cam or tuning in via audio, today's discussion dives deep into a crucial mindset shift that could transform how you approach managing asymmetries in your body.
In this episode, we unpack the number one belief that might be holding you back from effectively addressing asymmetries. Rather than viewing asymmetries as the problem themselves, we explore how they are often symptoms of underlying issues-specifically, a lack of movement skills and variability.

Your podcast videos always have extraordinary insights, thank you, Greg!

[@tishguerrero]

I’m so grateful to hear you speak about these topics & approaches. Especially regarding beliefs. I constantly remind myself to let go of my own narratives. I remind myself about to refocus on solutions goals. Most importantly keep up my workout “journal” log.
I hope to hear more future podcasts. Many thank you’s for your hard work✌🏽.

This is something I definitely struggle with. I’m currently fully focused on fixing my asymmetry, but I think I’m at a point where I can go back to weightlifting.
Really love the point about modifying exercises/rehab methods to fit different scenarios. Your videos about breathing are one the biggest factors for being able to get to this point, but I had to tweak the method to fit me. In my case, I had a really narrow rib cage and forward neck. I would breathe in and out like how you demonstrated, but I added relaxing my neck by having my chin touch my upper chest. Doing this changed so much for me.

Come across your channel the other day and resonated with the ideas straight off the bat. I’ve realised the way stress and improper breathing has brought symptoms on for me for a while now but there’s hardly any information online about this. A massage therapist opened my mind up to the notion of the nervous systems importance in muscle tightness etc. all of this had challenged my initial and contemporary ideas around strengthening and flexibility- as you mention.
Last year I had surgery for Thoracic outlet syndrome on my left side, first rib resection and anterior scaleneoctomy. The surgeons told me it’s worst on my right side and is offering me the surgery again.
I’ve been working on solving this for years and years now. My right shoulder still rolls forward and my scapular feels like it’s rubbing over my ribcage in certain positions like child’s pose. I get arterial impingement with my arm in certain positions. I also think the left side scalenoctomy has caused overcompensation on my right side in my neck causing further tightening, however that might just be a limiting belief.
Going to give some of your work a shot. I’m only 24 and having these surgery’s seems so dreamlike to me as someone whose strong and has been active my whole life. Love the approach and the notion of reframing the entire idea of healing. Thankyou.

Great podcast. Feels like solving posture issue is like many other problems in life, don't be too focused on the initial impressions, but at a high level----- let go a bit, and trust our instinct: and connect where we're at to the desired outcome

[@stoneman006]

working on skills totally makes sense, but the part about stimulus is really interesting. I had not considered that. I love these long form conversations.
