    This fixes forward head posture. This type of physical therapy is hard to find. I had an old school therapist in Northern Idaho and all he did was concentrate on my core,diaphragm exercises, breathing and getting my ribs to collapse instead of being in a hyper extended position. Great job😊

      I’ve seen logical explanations that part of foreword head posture can be due to poor jaw development and/or extract orthodontics. I also have rib flare on primarily one side and asymmetrical pelvis issues. If I find success with this exercise and getting more expansion in the upper ribs I’ll try to remember to report back.

    I trained as a singer years ago, and eventually gave up. I just couldn't seem to get the breathing right. I became hyper focused on breathing in; taking in sufficient air and 'opening the throat' in order to be ready to sing. In the process I got 'stuck' as described in this video. This not only ruined my singing, but led to pelvic pain and headaches (both ends of the breathing process). What finally did it for me was when a physio noticed what I was (or wasn't) doing on the out breath and physically pulled my ribs in with her hands and told me to blow like I was blowing out a candle as I was sucking my lower ribcage inwards. The problem with any video is that you cannot describe in words or images what it feels like when you experience something for the first time. In an instant, my centre of gravity was lower. I was no longer living 'in my chest'. When I took an in breath, my upper chest didn't puff out like a peacock anymore. My upper ribs no longer felt like they were jammed into my armpits.

I had very very tight lats that contributed to my lack of overhead mobility. I would stretch out my lats on gymnastics rings hanging for minutes at a time. Strengthen the posterior chain overall.

    Great Conor! I was struggling with getting my posture better. After this exercise i felt less pain on the right side of my ribcage and my right foot, muscles in my back tingeling which i never felt and my body immediately more balanced afterwards. This really gives me hope again the pain might get less.
    Thank you so much! You should do a start here or overview video and link to it in every video you make :)
    Keep it up!

  • @luuhax
    @luuhax Рік тому +7

    Thanks for the great videos as always Conor. One thing that's on my mind is the difficulty of pinpointing what issues to target. I can comfortably say that i clearly exhibit over half of the postural and systemic dysfunctions that your videos address. I realize this is where help from a practitioner might be helpful, but it feels hard to find someone who won't just give me the run of the mill exercises.
    The difficulty lies in that for a lot of issues, everything works. Many are so stationary and sedentary that any movement will display improvement. Would that then be your suggestion? As long as nothing is painful or problematic enough, general strength and conditioning with a little awareness is enough? But it feels like the compounding weight of my issues makes me very prone to overuse and injury, as has been proven to me.
    I feel ready to really dedicate time and energy to improving my body. But what do i focus on, when I can't do everything? I tried fixing my flat feet and got my arch back, but foot is still overpronated. Tibia is stuck in external rotation, do i target that? But femur is internally rotated so that also has to give. But unlocking the hip is impossible while stuck in anterior pelvic tilt, need to train glutes and now breathing aswell? My teeth apparently play a role aswell. Should i get custom insoles to cue correct mechanics through my superficial arch?
    Is this dilemma something you can comment on? Not my exact situation, but this struggle of finding "the piece". Is there even A piece? Or have you already thought of this when making your programs?

      Start slow and work your way up to the full exercise. Stop and stay in the position just before you feel pain. And slowly advance over a couple of days.
