Right Torsions: Teeth, Bodily Pain, and Why I Needed an Acrylic Splint

- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- The patterned positions of the head and neck, and how it can cause chronic pain, are by far the most difficult aspect of Postural Restoration to understand.
The simple fact is this: a number of chronic back pain issues, particularly in the SI joints and mid-back, are due to what's occurring at the neck and head. Some of it is due to malocclusion, meaning a bad "bite".
Compromised movement of the head on the neck will compromise movement of the entire spine all the way down to the sacrum.
It will also compromise the ability to breathe without your diaphragms and promotes accessory breathing patterns.

Seems like Philosophy, Psychology, and Physiotherapy has found their new Giant. Appreciate the time and work man.Thank you.
Thanks Neal , you’re pure gold
You're welcome, Sergio.
I’ve been trying to figure out my issues for years. Always felt like my body was weirdly torqued, and I struggled to use my left leg and right shoulder. Nothing helped, then started doing PRI exercises for a couple months and it’s helped, but still felt tight and struggled to feel the exercises correctly. Yesterday I was chewing gum and decided to try to only chew with my left side of jaw. My whole body finally relaxed. Now I’m looking into my jaw position and getting the lower jaw to slide to the left.
have a similar experience, how’s everything going so far, have you progressed?
imma just do this thank you
look up his 'effects of occlusion' video.
Thank you, Neal.
My jaw just clicked into place as I tried to slide it left upon reading your comment
This makes so much sense..thank you..
Your videos are GOLD, THANKS for sharing!
I love your level of detail. So helpful!
Great content!
Love you! This is awesome!
I'm glad you found it helpful.
Excellent lecture❤🎉
Wow! This is so crazy…thank you so much! Your making me look so forward to starting my sessions later this month! I feel like listening to you that he is going to be able to help me! After 6 years of all this pain…it’s making sense to me now why! I’m just hoping this practitioner knows all the things you know about this process to be able to help me!
This sounds just like me!! Thanks for the video!!
Every time I watch your videos I’m just like wow. This is me. I can’t wait to see you Monday and start working with you
Thanks for your help I have a cross bite bracing mechanism that I’ve never noticed until your videos. I’m always struggled getting onto my right side from a previous ACL injury but it makes sense now
WOW! Seems like you've been on a very similar pain journey as me! SI joint issues, LBP, and neck/trap issues with chronic pain - for me, going on for over a decade. This is truly a Eureka moment for me! Thank you!!!!
You're welcome. Hope you can find someone who can help!
I've just finished the Myokinematic Restoration course, thank you for explaining the other courses so well and how we can implement everything! I will do them ASAP. So grateful
Great! I actually started the channel for people like you: taking courses and trying to figure things out.
thank you!
The Kois deprogrammer is really helpful with that mandible misalignment to let jaw be in more natural position.
Thank you Neal, Thank you God I fnally have answers to what is happeningto my body!!
Thank you most informative
Wow. Brilliant as usual. I'm going to PR recommend dentist next week. ❤️
Absolutely brilliant!!
This describes perfectly why I've been clenching my teeth and the neck strain I experience while seeing my clients for massage therapy. I've recently had an occlusal splint made and it helped a lot. This explains so much. I truly appreciate all of your videos. Thanks again Neil!!
How much did this cost you?
@@Patrick-rr2qw the occlusal splint is usually around $350-400 they are very durable and last a very long time. Compared to cracked teeth that will require crowns, it's cost effective for me.
@@cynthiamaniscalco6972 thanks for letting me know and glad it’s helped you! :)
Hi Neal, I need to echo so many other comments. Wow, between this , the R brachial Chain, and a couple other videos of yours a whole new understanding of all my issues kind of 'integrated' for me. Yes, I have the Right Torsion Pattern (actually it seems all your videos have applied to my body at one time or another, everything all connected).
And it's so true, almost impossible to understand without experiencing.
"You cant feel your body because you are not grounded" "compression of the cranial nerve...thats where life happens)", these are not exaggerated statements. I have been experiencing 'dissociative disorder' for decades as well as debilitating pain. Through relentless pursuit of feeling the 'felt sense' of being alive again I have discovered that my 'mental' recovery is in the body, ..7 years sports PT, yoga, pranyama, psychologist.
Why did your channel pop up in my feed? I recently integrated the understanding of fascial planes and had purchased Tom Meyers 'Anatomy Trains'. Please, let us praise the algorithm Gods. The internet brings what one seeks out 😊
I am so grateful for your style of teaching this very complex yet somehow simple school.
I can assure you, if you truly have a cranial strain pattern, the vast majority of my videos will pertain to you. The cranium, and whatever is "torquing" it, is the key to unlocking the rest of the body. My lower body, where all the pain was, was not the issue. It was all jaw/teeth and vision. Hopefully you can find a PRI therapist to help.
Makes me think of what we waste or time teaching kids these days. Pri should be in every public health class!
Please please please do something on scoliosis.
great!
Our bodies struggle to find the path of least resistance. And that is what it will take and that often leads to dysfunction and imbalance. It's all about getting as many of our systems online and running together instead of them fighting each other.
Very interesting. Have you come across people with these issues who had gone through orthodontic treatment and saw improvement in their postural issues?
Gréât vid thank you
I had to look up dysautonomia, not heard of it before. There’s an excellent set of 24 short vids on it at thedysautonomiaproject.org/introduction-to-autonomic-medicine-course/ if anyone else is interested. I didn’t understand it all - got a bit heavy in the middle - but worth watching the lot. Happy trails.
❤thank u!
Thanks again Neal. Same 3 of my least favorite pains as well. Years of tearing feet, SI battles & that tricky train wreck of spasms triggered in that 1 lil spot behind the scapula & becoming whiplash for a few days.
Perfectly explained neck compensations matching my experience & I hope the road less traveled for others. I think noticed my recent cervical twists in tandem with jaw dislocation (rt SCM et al) rt vision narrowing (12-4 o'clock), eyes casting down, unfavorable sympathetic-ns switching (rt psoas?/gb meridian? dominance) loss of "connection" through sacrum & pelvic floor, left side numbness/disconnect, then pelvic collapse & all joints popping loose to protect essential functions. Maybe shouldn't have tried to "release" so much 🤦♂️ Pre-PRI Epiphany trial & error process i suppose. Really was just shooting for bottom of exhale to reset breathing. Hopefully i & others know better now. Appreciate you Neal🙏
Your feet pain and whiplash in shoulder blade seems so familiar to me. Your symptoms including jaw and trying to pop every joint because of instability. How was your journey if any? I saw you posted 8 months ago
You sound like me, now my vision, it’s getting scary. Have you had any improvements?
@L W @Kcm Man93
Yes, improvements! 🙏
A year ago I reached max compensation & my body reset, leaving me to relearn everything. Frankly, PRI has it nailed.
After last post, I began w/ a PRI Trainer who filled in blanks to correct my ... everything, along w/ these channels & the PRI site.
The Scary, Weird, Agonizing, Painful experiences all became simple & are moving towards balance.
Re: Eyes, they need to rotate, blink & see ground with minimal strain.
PRI's breathing techniques cover most of it.
I feel Aternate Nostril Breathing is critical.
Personally helpful for ANB:
-Toungue tip flat (like "N" of No") between incisors w/ sides curled upward is ideal. Tip to L incisor may be helpful.
-Hahhh exhale through back of throat then back of ribcage.
-Grrradually allow eyes to rotate downward seeing nostril-blocking finger. Gently blink relaxing face. As Left/Right pressure is balanced, eyes see nose more evenly ( blending the brain's L/R picture ) 30 seconds is helpful, 3 minutes is perfect!
*** www.posturalrestoration.com/pri-resources/pri-living/breathing ***
Also personally helpful are yogic eye movement practices. Random bits:
Rotating eyes up, down, L, R, & around a clock in both directions & allowing them to relax.
Peripheral vision practice is a huge relaxer, following finger, w/ Eyes only.
1 eye closed seeing nose then up.
Closing/opening from each corner.
Eyes left w/ toungue tip right, reverse.
Toungue feeling all teeth, etc...
We mentioned the spinal train wreck that gets whiplashy. I see as mostly from vertebral wedging & diaphragm impingement, like L4, T12 & ⬆️. Cross-lateral compensations make it seem unsolvable.
Breath is my game-changer, by establishing ZOA & creating respiratory pressure the back unwinds & strengthens, allowing a stable center to relearn movements.
Seldom mentioned Pre-Practice bits:
-Rub hands, Big Exhales, Standing Walking, Reverse Moonwalking (not really a "thing").
Rub & feel each finger, move & feel each toe.
Exhale long & slow several times attempting to reach a resting pause, then allowing natural breath to resume.
- Awareness: Hear, See, Touch Slowly, Feel, Taste
Sensory activity calms everything.
- Note Allowing. Opposite of Resisting.
Now begin....
@@jasonrutledge4102 what did you do to help your feet after tearing them with ankles? Any exercises?
@@kcmman9323 The most active years seem to have been in custom foot orthotics. Waited to do exercises for a while before getting new orthotics. I'll have them soon & see if they hurt or help this time.
Feet, ankles, shins, knees etc all realign with pattern changes. My feet are only as good as the inhale & exhale.
There's a good bit that helps directly affect both. These videos may be helpful:
Hey Neal, I just saw your videos and wanted to thank you for your hard work. I for myself am a medical student from germany who has muscle tensions around the head and neck area for about 13 years now (I am 28 now) leading to extreme exhaustion.
My issues are that I have pain in my upper left premolar (25) which hurts when I bite in a certain position. It is extremely painful yet dentists dont see any damage at the tooth. I had braces which moved my jaw forward when I was a teenager and also a root canal surgery where the dentist didnt really restore the tooth so I didnt have contact on my lower right first molar (46) for several years. the tooth was restored 10 years later but my occlusion is absolutely uncomfotable. I feel like my bite is not habitual anymore and I have to tension muscles to make it acceptable. Now I suffer from muscle tensions all the time and I am exhausted. Dentists cant help me as they say things are fine. I got a nightguard against clenching (but I am sure clenching isnt my problem), yet nothing helps. Yet I just dont know what the source of my problems is. It could be the head and neck area that lead to tooth pain and a wrong occlusion. Or my teeth are the problem. I am considering to extract that hurting tooth for myself and see what happens as I dont see any help anymore.
Your best bet it to see a PRI specialist that will help you and most likely they know dentist that work with them. So they can fix you up. I'm actually working on it I've seen a specialist in new York and he told me that my body is in a patho pattern. And it's all coming from my bite. I wish you the best of luck
Neal, how do you usually find a dentist that understands this / could help with this? Finding one has halted my progress for about 5 years and I'm really at a loss. Thank you so much for explaining and sharing these videos. Keep it up!
You could try e-mail Postural Restoration Institute. Perhaps they keep a list of dentists from around the country who have taken a PRI seminar. Otherwise, find a PRI certified PT. Many will have a dentist that they collaborate with.
How would you find this?
@@mindyhardy5426 Hi Mindy, Google PRI certified dentist and enter near me, hope helps ☺️ Have a bless day🕊️
This is me to a T. Now having an eye issue amongst everything else. Everything I’m experiencing is on the left. I am right dominant. That side is depressed. Vicious cycle.
hello Neal, how well would a Diy splint work from amazon??
Thanks for the great information Neal!
So what does the dentist need to adress? Basically full contact without a cross bite and a wifht positioned mandible?
Thank you for this very informative video.. so what can cause the shift of lower jaw to one side at the first place?
Funny, what you describe is what I am feeling since years my neck and head is always under tension and so the rest of my body. I do have a splint but I think it is to short cause it does not Cover my teeth back in jaw.
Hi Neal! I’m located in NJ and have been dealing with very similar issue that you have described. I have been working with an Atlas Orthogonal, TMJ Dentist, and Osteopath. I seem to be stuck in this never ending cycle of SVT, breathing issues, neck cracking sounds, along with other issues. I would to get more info on your therapy’s and if there is a dentist you recommend? My TMJ joint seems to be ok from MRI but my bite was hanging on my one tooth on the right. I also was diagnosed with C1 instability. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Stay away from Atlas! I did this and it made things so much worse. The top down approach is completely flawed! PRI is the ultimate solution! I am travelling to Nebraska to Hruska Clinic for prime program. I tried nearly every discipline including Atlas Orthogonal! What a scam!
I am a recently retired dentist that practiced for over 45 years. I have taken numerous courses on TMD diagnosis and treatment. I am curious if you have followed Robert Walker DC and his program "Chirodontics". I have taken numerous courses from him and tried to incorporate many of his protocols into my practice. I have had great successes and failures and but I could not readily predict what the outcome would be even though the presentation were very similar. The starting formula in a simplistic sense includes leveling the plane of the maxilla with an orthotic and then creating a mandibular splint
From a PRI perspective, it comes down to whether a cranium/neck are "neutral" or not. If the temporal bones/sphenoid/occiput are in a "patterned" state (Right TMCC pattern has an internally rotated temporal bone while the left is externally rotated), that will influence the position of the TMJ and thus influence the position and function of all the anterior neck musculature.
My thought would be that if you are using orthotics and splints on individuals who are still patterned, it may not have the desired outcome because the temporal bones are still slightly deviated and the neck would likely not be in a neutral position either.
This issue of "neutrality", while not unique to PRI, is used differently in PRI because it's recognized as a total body issue, not just a local TMJ issue. The Left AIC and right BC patterns will eventually influence the position of the neck, cranium, and TMJs because of the respiratory influences of dysfunctional neck breathing (in particular the SCMs influence on the temporal bones).
@@NealHallinan Thanks for the quick reply. I am going to take that course you suggested and maybe go back to a part time gig lol.
@@NealHallinan What is your take and PRIs take on why we have to go through all these protocols and exercises and inhibitions and orthotic feet and dental interventions and SI stabilizations and hip replacements and shoulder replacements, and chiropractic adjustments. I think we have devolved and we are finding ways to minimize the negative impact of structural degradation. So basically, what do you suppose creates all this need for therapy?
Hi! Great video++
I have tight neck muscles in the left side, straight neck, exagerated lower back lordisis.
My jaw shifts to the left side when opening the mouth and clench in the left side too (at night)
Why the jaw shifts to the left please ?
In a torsion Is it a malocclusion causing scm/forward head posture and subsequent pressure on cervical nerve roots that causes the reffered periscapular pain and general stiffness that some people with torsions talk about?
Hey mate love your videos. I had an injury when I was a kid. Short story I fell down and put my teeth through my lower lip and not until now I realised I must have injured my jaw in the process. It’s my left side of my jaw that’s the problem not my right. I can’t touch my teeth on my right side but I can on my left. I’ve been losing balance with my feel waking etc. I walk with my outside of my heels and when you look at my work boots it’s clear that I’m hiring the ground outside of my foot. Could I have left side issues effected my body and could acrylic help even though it’s on my left side not my right? Also who do I see just a dentist or a specialised dentist?
Hi Neal,thank you for posting this.[excuse my english ]
I have difficulty achieving neutrality …
I’m progressing ,everyday i feel something new (a muscle, conscience of a pattern…)
I found that i had moderate astigmatism on both eyes,when i wore glasses it made a huge difference!
Today i discover that i cannot have a good bite on my left teeth!
When i put something (a piece of paper ) between my upper and lower left molar(there is a gap between them) i feel like its better!
Could it work ?
Could Malocclusion can develop left aic right bc pattren? Or it is always accompanied by pelvis?
Is body can adopt this pattern from teeth?
Hi Neal, is the splint the same as an orthotic? Did you need to adjust after doing PRI sessions?
I have a michigan splint, however my neck is still locked in because I feel I may have over-expanded my palate
right later pelvic tilt (higher right side) right si pain. Right side Scapular dyskinesia bad right cervical spine and scm pain. I’m confused what is happening I hate this
Dear Neal
Based on your experiences, do you think you could've left your pattern if you got the splint but didn't get the insoles and prism glasses?
*This pretty much describes me to a T. I am in constant fight and flight and pain all over...*
I need help 😫
Base have skull has shifted...
Unstable and therefore compromise...
(Teeth, feet and eyes).
Hi Neal. Several years ago my dog knocked my jaw, I wasn’t prepared for it and my jaw was loose and it messed up my bite and had cause pain and some joint damage. The pain has generally gone away. Some crackling when I yawn and eat. Now and then some pain if I eat something too chewy. Anyway. I’m thinking back to when my pattern started and it might be around this time. I did get a splint last year but it’s made to fit the top teeth. Seems like the same concept though. Do you think a top splint can help if worn during exercises (I wear it to sleep)? And do you think this injury could have caused my patterning?
I really can't speculate, but any injury can contribute to the patterns. If you're not in pain, that's a good thing.
Hi Neal, what are your thoughts on fillings for teeth? Does getting fillings done create more neurosensory tension in the body and hence create more extension posture as well as Left AIC pattern?
From what i‘ve understood, fillings are being done to align the jaw even more perfectly after wearing the acrylic splint. So it should be a good thing. Also, u can get them removed if the jaw shifts in a perfect position by itself.
Neal i have a question. Do you have changed your bite after your splint therapy. I mean have you done prothetic work on your old teeth to save the new postion?
I have not done anything to my teeth.
How did you unlock your pelvis? And can that be done with an si fusion?
Do you know of any specific place you would go to if you wanted a splint? Am planning on going to get one and I know you probably know of someone you would trust thats good at doing it
i have both the splints upper and lower jaw, I have tight muscle on my right , and asymetrical face or head place. can I use both the splints?
What if I have I just finished Invisalign? Does it mean I do not need it?
Could you fix the cross bite to stabilize?
Correct me if I’m wrong but from my understanding, you use a splint to prevent your body going back to old habit of stabilisation once you have stabilised correctly using PRI techniques. But once your body is correctly stabilised, your bite may change and therefore you might need to change the size of the splint to accommodate the change in bite?
Yes. Or maybe you won't need it long term, just as you go through the process of re-stabilization.
@@NealHallinan If I have a bad open bite with uneven two front teeth and canines don’t touch, would it be better to go get Invisalign (use to have braces)
Where do you get acrylics splints from???
Hi. I live in Alabama. I have had all of these problems since having teeth pulled. I now have dentures. Is it possible for mine to be fixed
Hi Neal, out of interest roughly what percentage of people who go to you have a right torsion pattern? Great video by the way 👍
Not that many, to be honest. Some do have dental or visual issues that keep them patterned, but they aren't actually torsioned.
Neal, the cranio-sacral techniques you did for right torsion, were they done bilaterally or unilaterally, seeing as PRI is usually about assymetry?
I did a PRI technique to get out of the torsion. But I do practice self cranial sacral, I just feel for where I'm experiencing restriction. It can often be found at the intersection of the sphenoid/temporal/parietal bones.
@@NealHallinan The Standing alternating reciprocal cranial expansion, right?
I am still working on the cranial sutures. Did you also feel massive relaxation with releasing the right occiput suture/structure but equally feel enormous tension when barely touching the squamous suture?
I’m in Benzodiazepine Withdrawal. Was on Benzos for muscle tightness in whole upper body after back at base of ribs ‘cluncked’ and made whole upper back rigid following S1/L5 laminectomy to help very severe sciatica and dis that got into spinal canal.
Since 2001 the tightness in mid and upper back and shoulders and neck never left but in withdrawal it is unbearable. No position is bearable. Now all meds paradoxical.
My bit has been out for years but now lower teeth are forward in front of upper teeth and jaw off to side. Back teeth are touching all the time. Front teeth further apart. All from neck being pushed into worse forward head posture from muscles tightening - T1/2 have fused in a hump, T10/11 fused pushing ribs forward and up - bad flare.
In the past when the mid part at base of ribs (feels like on right side) has cluncked again whole upper back has released and lower right lumbar muscles gone flaccid but legs work better.
Now even buttocks so rigid can’t even lie down with legs up on pillows.
Can PRI help if you have joints that have fused in wrong position and have possible failed back surgery?
Would a splint be a good place to start if the back teeth are now forced into each other like jaw joint has collapsed down and back?
My jaw is so tight if I try to open mouthit snaps shut and pulls on temporalis.
I am in U.K. and largely housebound. Do you do online video consults so I can ask you more questions?
Whole body is rigid and twisted.
Honestly, I don't think I'd be able to help. There is a PRI practitioner in the UK, Martin Higgins. Maybe you could consult with him.
Thanks! Yes, I have called him and waiting to hear back but unable to travel to where he is.
I have all.of these, I got my thing for the mouth, but what kind of exercises can I do
God, every single video, every single thing you say I’m shaking my head ‘yes’ & I don’t know whether to be happy or more depressed. I have a pattern that is similar to yours or worse. Pain every, single, day.. all day. Head feels twisted, left neck muscles giant and flexed 24/7. Pelvic tilt. All my weight, all 207lbs feels like it’s on my right heel. Front of right thigh in a constant dull burn from the hip down. Inflammation EVERYWHERE, mostly right side of body. Jaw feels totally unaligned, feel all my right teeth come down on top of each other and left side feels like a V, if you can imagine it. It is so fucking miserable and has been since I was about 13yo. I’m 28yo now & have basically been a slave to this my entire life. I can’t even think & have zero energy because I guess my body just exhausts itself trying to just breathe everyday. Mental capacity is overridden by the thought of ‘correcting’ myself every 3 minutes.
Please help me. Can you tell me what you think I should start doing right away? I work 60hr weeks and I’m not sure I have time to see a specialist right now, perhaps some at home remedies? I’ve done weight shifting and breathing exercises & they help so much but my jaw & neck muscles are just stuck. There’s nothing I can do about it.
Is an acrylic mouth guard like a mandibular occlusal orthotic
Yes, probably.
if i have a deep overjet will i require something to address this to get out of left aic
Perhaps. Sometimes malocclusion can cause major problems. You never really know until you work with a professional who knows what they are doing.
How often should the person wear the dental splint to solve the body pain? Do you still wear the splint?
I'm still not sure where to start it feels like I'm having all this gold info thrown at me and don't know where to go with it
just find a PRI doc and meet with them physically
@@therealjahovasthickness kinda impossible in the UK when the only one is in London lmao
Hi! I’ve been going to PRI with a great therapist for a about a year now. In my first session we found i needed a new eye prescription. Since then we keep making some progress and then everything falls apart & I’ve actually start to get more pain locations… she had another therapist look at me and they determined I have an occlusion, TMCC pattern, & need to get a mouth piece. Is this common that the TMCC pattern can prevent progress from other locations? (My pelvis and back)? Is it still a long process after I get the mouth piece or will it be relatively quick compared the the year I’ve spent in PRI. Also, I can’t get the mouth piece for over a month… will I get benefit during that month at sessions or should I just wait until I have the mouth piece?
Any time occlusion is involved, things can get very tricky. The jaw and neck muscles influence everything underneath. It's always about keeping the neck relaxed. You can feel like you are making progress and then everything can go backwards. It's frustrating, I know. I really can't comment on your personal situation because I know nothing about your situation. You'll just have to follow the recommendations of your therapist.
Question, how did you unlock your pelvis when you were still dealing with your crossbite? I’m currently dealing with a crossbite on top of crowded teeth on my lower jaw and my posture is constantly brining me pain. I have cervical and lumbar spine scoliosis effecting my arms and legs. I’m currently on orthodontic treatment to correct my crossbite, but not sure what to do in the meantime because it’s hard to do practically anything with so much discomfort 😅
Pls reply me sir
Is this dental thing available in india pls sir ..
My second left incisor is misaligned. Is it the cause of my pattern? or I had a car accident few years back, is that the cause of pattern. My neck is over active . I’m in pretty horrible state sir.
Incisors don’t have that much of an effect. Prob the car accident
In general, do people get instant relief once they get their acrylic mouth piece?
Some do, but not necessarily.
Neal can starting Invisalign "lock you up" especially in the beginning phase where the aligners are super tight and causing headache? Can Invisalign make you neutral cuz it will correct a cross bite or malclusion (overcrowding) ?
Im wondering the same. My bites has been bad forever but whiplash and extraction made it worse. Im in invisalign now. Have you made any positive progress?
Any opinions on mewing?
Extracted right lower molar tooth 25 years ago without any implant since. Could that be causing neck stiffness, right SI pain, L45 disc herneation, left hamstring tightness, bilateral tinnitus? Tinnitus can get louder, modulated, with tounge protrusion. Thanks for your videos.
Any maloclussion can be problematic, especially if the jaw is not positioned properly as a result.
@@NealHallinan Is there any association between Tinnitus and Posture that can be corrected?
Super useful, Neal! I've got the foot orthotics, glasses and the splint...what were the best exercises to get you out of the right torsion? I've just started the standing alternate cranial expansion this week but looking for whatever else I can. Secondly, did you wear your splint while doing the exercises and while sleeping? Thanks!
The Standing Alternating Reciprocal Expansion is the standard exercise to de-torsion. From there it is up to the therapist to tell you what to do. People have different challenges. However, a previously torsioned person will benefit from pretty much any PRI technique because all techniques teach your body how to re-stabilize and move in your newly de-torsioned body.
and yes, I wore it during exercises and sleeping.
rinarage what is the standing alternate cranial expansion? Link?
@@saadimadina1337 ua-cam.com/video/kH0a2eb4uyk/v-deo.html
My understanding is it is good for torsion patterns/ facial compression... Specifically on the right side
Did you found any exercises to fix that? Im doing the standing alternate cranial...
hey neal - so i've been doing the basic 4 excercises from your website and i've been feeling improvement in the left AIC. i also had known for years that my jaw was awry but i was never able to understand why. i'm in korea so i can't get access to a PRI practioner here unfortunately.. anyways i was wondering if i continued with the PRI movements would i see improvements in my awry jaw even without the mouth guard?
It's possible, but it depends on the actual situation. I can't really say for sure without examining someone directly.
hello Jaewoo, fellow Korean here. I've also been aware of my tilted jaw, thinking that teeth misalignment/jaw problems was the underlying cause for bad posture, but I now strongly believe it's simply another byproduct of bad posture. By incorporating mewing concepts, it would make sense that changes in jaw structure would occur as a compensatory effect where the upper body tries to remain neutral on an unstable lower body. This would create tension all over including the neck and most likely unequal force in jaw structure, like the mandible and tongue pressure on the palate. I think being in this prolonged state would most likely cause crooked teeth and tmd. I think it is possible to improve
@@JayLim-pw2zx how do you improve it
재우님 혹시 번역 가능할까요...?ㅜㅜ
What type of doctor made the mouth piece? Thx!!
hey neal, thanks again for this video. I have an uneven jaw and bite, i'm wondering on the specifics of how the teeth orient your body. basically, if i wear a partial mouthguard on the left, would that help keep me in a LEFT BC + RIGHT AIC pattern; like it does being on the left heal and right arch?
There is research in regards to occlusion and postural stability/sway. You won't find anything about it like the way PRI talks about it, though. Ron (the founder) just read the research and realized it was all part of the overall patterns.
Patterned people will likely feel too much right molars, and often left canines.
So we generally need to re-sense left molars (left heel) and right canines (right arch). Without an even bite, it may not happen. That's why I got Invisalign. My right canines were displaced.
@@NealHallinan Thank you for replying. yeah my teeth are almost the same, i also sleep ONLY on my left side and do EVERYTHING with my right. been stuck in an RIGHT BC + LEFT AIC pattern for a decade or so. trying to stay in a LEFT BC + RIGHT AIC pattern for most of the day, because even if i'm in the LEFT BC + RIGHT AIC pattern, my body always instinctually reverts to the RIGHT BC + LEFT AIC pattern when i'm anxious or around people. (only just realized i had the AIC patterns back to front).
@@NealHallinan Ive been doing exercises for a month now and my neck and back tension went away, but even before starting pri i always felt my left molars more, while i have a slight posterior crossbite on the right side, is that strange for someone with left aic/right bc/right tmcc?
Neal, did you get invisalign before or after you got the splint? If the splint helps achieve neutral wouldn't it be best to have it after making sure the bite is even, i.e. not all edge to edge incisors and no contact of premolars ?
Hello, I have the exact same patterning. can we connect@@kyrylo31 ? What have you found that has helped you? I am seeing a PRI specialist early next month. Next steps I am thinking about Invisalign but will wait until after I see a specialist. Thanks
I have tight right neck SCM having tight right back trap inside soldier . Lose left SCM and total left side body is very lose as compare to right and have also left neck pain left daltoid pain sometimes and having radiating sensation on left arm and hand. My MRI report of spine is okie no disc problem everything is ok. Only straight neck or straight lumbosacral spine and I am working on it doing flatback exercises since 6 months have been passed also using neck and lumbar wedge. But the left side neck pain gone worse day by day causing rotation problem to left side. What do you think what posture problem I am suffering from and please suggest me some exercise. Thankyou
You are describing your issue exactly: tight right side of the body and loose left side of the body. If you are in the US then you'll need to find a PRI credentialed therapist.You'll need help.
@@NealHallinan but the problem is that I am in India . Here i doesn't find any PRI trainer. 😔
At 17:15 you mention the right SCM shifting the jaw forward creating occlusion. Wouldn't this create occlusion on the left side? I don't see how it could be shifted forward but blocking the neurovasclular bundle in the TMJ. If the right SCM pushes the right side of the jaw forward, wouldn't this rotation create more space in the right TMJ and an occlusion in the right? Thanks!
It creates a gap on the left side at the molars but it may create excessive contact of the left canines.
@@NealHallinan Mine must be reversed. X rays showed 3.5mm spacing on right and .6mm on left TMJ
Can you recommend anybody with your training in British Columbia, Canada?
I have made progress using your methods but I still get stuck , my spine is still rigid
I currently have an acrylic mouthguard that i wear on my upper teeth, but I don’t feel like it’s doing much, so I’ll probably need to have another one made to wear on my lower teeth.
What about crowns or tooth implants?
I have lost my wisdom tooth and molar on my right side and its fucked me over so bad.
I can’t do anything.
Is using a night guard for both top and bottom teeth a bad idea? Where do you get that acrylic guard you presented in the video?
I would also love to know about this.
Can I buy a mouth guard online?
please tell me what is your take on PROLOTHERAPY, I’ve got a lot of your symptoms and have been diagnosed with moderate to severe neck instability, left and right shoulder instability and my jugular vein at times is 0 blood flow causing massive headaches and eye pain, I also have EHLERS DANLOS SYNDROME making everything worse. CAN PRI HELP ME. I am afraid to exercise because of ligaments issues
I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome as well, along with cranio-cervical instability. I am wondering if you have had any luck with PRI since posting this a year ago? I'm considering giving it a try, but I too, am nervous about the ligament issues that come with EDS. Have you gone forward with prolotherapy? I have been looking into that as well as stem cell therapy.
I was in dentist today and she didnt want to give me splint, she said me to just chew with left side of my jaw.
It’s look like my situation (
I have this issue. Please, tell me where can I find help??? I'm living in Europe, Lithuania. It seems that there's no PRI experts at all.. I feel terrible
I just felt the weight off my head on my right side for the first time
do you have to wear the splint your whole life?
Thank you for everything Neal!
This thing is just stealing my life, ever since I had extraction-retracton orthodontics my whole left side of the neck is turned on 24/7, and I can't feel my left shoulder. Over years I have developed all sorts of postural issues including the right BC patern you are oftenly mentioning. Point is, both of my sides are shit, I'm stuck and no exercises are helping.
Can you PLEASE, tell me where can I get this sort of help in combination, I do not know where to find a suitable dentist that works with a team to get me out of this thing. I need my life back.
If for some reason you cannot promote people here or whatever other reason may be, please email me on filip.kindl@gmail.com
@@Fika666 do you do PRI???
Can we just use dental splint or dental intervention is necessary?
It depends on the situation. If someone can't stay neutral, they may need dental work.
@@NealHallinan Thank you Sir.
Feldencrais help me..because it’s sensory ..I’m a very sensory type person..all my senses are particular strong..
Can you be a right torsion if you are not a PEC? I.e you are still just Left AIC/ Right BC (which I am verified by testing from many PRI practiconers including those from the PRIME program in Lincoln). I have glasses and MOOO splint from them thay get me neutral on a table but my face looks like a right torsion with a midline shifted right. Still can't seem to figure out my leg length issues even with my glasses and splint. Curious because from my understanding really on PEC people are right torsions? Is it possible to be right torsion and not be PEC?
I guess to better phrase my question, can the jaw shift to the right and not be torsion? Like can the jaw happen to go right from the pattern and not be a full on right torsion?
Do you know any professionals that have studied what you study in Southern California? Please help me - I would greatly appreciate it 🙏
Hello Mister Hallinan, can tight left posterior mediastinum prevent to get left AF/IR?
Yes, definitely.
@@NealHallinan Thank You
Mister Hallinan i have mega tight left posterior mediastinum, but i cant expend it, what can prevent it? Maybe Tight Right BC muscles?
What type of sneakers do you wear?
I do exercises, without sneakers
Just described my entire pattern. My question is does the splint have to be progressively replaced many times to fit bite changes as the treatment progresses?
