Thank you very much for your channel, your time, your effort, and your passion. We don't have PRI specialists in Australia, so I have to invest my time into studying everything you teach on your channel, even though it seems very complicated. My 11 y.o. had a very pronounced anterior pelvic tilt, and we started your exercises from your other video on APT, and now, a couple of weeks later, his posture is already visibly better. The exercises that a local PT gave to him, didn't make any difference. Anyway, he has an APT, and I have a lateral PT, but there is hope now for us both. Many thanks.
Connor, I've been working on your self paced biomechanics course and seeing a PRI instructor in my state for about 6 months. PRI training has been by far the most successful and productive pain rehab/posture restoration approach so far. My physique is way more flexible, and lean again for the first time in years. Also learning a lot from the course so far. Still have some work to do but the results have been amazing until this point. I'm glad I stumbled upon your content!
Why is it that you have to work with a PRI instructor on top of doing Connor’s Beginner Body Restoration program? Seems like it’s double the work. Is the program difficult to do on your own? Trying to understand in case I decide to get the program.
Sounds a little like Gary Ward’s presentation in his Flow Motion Model. But the exercises are too based on muscular relationships rather than integrating joint relationships. As Gary says, “Joints act, muscles react.” I am always interested in diverse creative approaches. But I’ve found Gary’s work in combination with the Alexander technique (I’m a teacher) to be the clearest, most intuitive and easy to apply and practice. Best to everybody
Feel like this dude kind of overwhelms you with these excersizes. Idk I feel like every chiro and physio on yt has a different take; chin tucks, glute bridges, shoulder rolls, spinal mobilisation, rows, stretching the throat and chest, sleeping on your back, planks, rotator cuff strengthening, spinal decompression, wall angels. Like seriously who the hell is right? It's too much opinions all claiming to see amazing results. I just get overwhelmed and end up doing nothing really since everyone contradicts eachother as to the solution. I think alot of people feel the same
That’s part of the journey. Nobody is 100% right about everything. Through trial and error, figure out what works and what doesn’t. There is no one size fits all fix to bad posture. Everyone is different. Generally speaking, PRI/breathing exercises are a great place to start because they get to the root of the problem. However, strengthening exercises are still likely needed. Zac Cupples and Neal Hallinan are good sources as well.
Damn bro I’m glad I’m not the only one. I do like his content but man idk his just seems kinda hard, like it’s mainly being in weird positions and just breathing. How is that better than the strengthening exercises other recommend?
Have you ever actually been assessed by a professional? Things can seem contradictory and confusing if you're trying to learn on your own and self diagnose, but any good practitioner will only prescribe exercises and techniques based on test results. Things are much more clear when you actually have data If you can, see a professional in person
A veces no entiendo a Connor pero va de la linea con Alexander Priologist gracia... Solo puedo decir que cuando eres latino y no encuentras a una persona especializada en esto toca ver cada minimo detalle del video y repetirlo uunas cuantas veces
Hi connor, been following you for a long time and ultimately bought the ebook on APT on your site the other day. Just a niggling doubt- say my body developed another compensatory pattern on top of a highly pronounced left AIC, would you directly treat the left AIC or the secondary compensation? For eg. : plantar fasciitis on right foot due to left aic and then another compensation to avoid the right foot when running.
connor, everytime I watch one of your videos I feel understood, like my exact issues are being described. but everytime I try one of your excercises, i just dont "get" it. You mention side abs turning on, mine never do. you mention some release in the upper back rib cage, i get nothing of the sort. i get no perceived effect from any of the things i try. so on and so forth. if you had to choose one beginner exercise, what would it be? i have swayback with externally rotated legs
If you have foot misalignment, pelvic and shoulder misalignment how do you progress to weights to strenghten the mid and upper back without getting headaches? Would a foam mat help
I'm confused. So stretching will not help, and trying to stand and sit straight won't help, but what will? Not in terms of specific exercises but in general what would address the real issue?
I'm curious if you've done a video on what might cause a hip to make a "clunk" like sound when moving it down. So if I lift my left knee up, then move my leg down it makes a clunking sort of noise, often two of them. Right leg does not do this. But if I do that same movement but am either stepping up on something with that leg or use a band to give it some resistance it doesn't make this noise. I can feel it as well. What causes this and what might I do to fix this? Guessing this is related to all the stuff you talk about but not sure. Thank you for all the great videos, they're an eye opener for sure. :)
@@behindthebuild8016 Internal didn't seem to change anything. I tried pointing my foot outward instead, seemed to lessen but not sure that was it, so instead I moved my knee to my left side about 10+ degrees the clunk either lessens or goes away. Interesting. No idea what that means but I'll have to see if I can figure it out. LOL
@@robk9330 very well could be. I think I need to see someone locally to better understand and fix what's going on. Likely the cause of my low back issues when running longer distances and even ache while at my standing desk for too long. Can't recall how long I've had it but sitting at a desk for work for MANY years probably didn't help. LOL
@@mleii1169I’m in the same boat. Lots of sitting at a desk. Often cross legged on my chair. Same back clunking as you describe. I think it’s what’s referred to as “snapping hip” syndrome. Definitely more of a clunk though… Have found this helpful ua-cam.com/video/C3ay8ZVdWGw/v-deo.htmlsi=72HG1utTiM8u48eo
3:40 out of all of those, i think we should take genetics out. No one has genes that make them asymetrical or have a bad posture. Youll never see an animal with such traits. At most genetics plus enviorment might cause an issue that results in bad posture. But i feel all medical professionals chuck genetics into every list of possible causes just to say ''when i dont know the cause then its genetics''
Very interesting theory, but I don't see how this fits with this common posture: (Collapsed arches and x legs) Slightly bent knees Anterior pelvic tilt Slouched back and rounded shoulders. Nerdneck.

this is great. especially because many people say to engage glutes to adjust pelvic tilt. i will avoid using glutes to tilt l from now on
Late in life, I’m trying to address a number of misalignments. I’m taking a slow, holistic approach of building all my muscles and mobility
Youre my Harris, Conor.
thanks connor!!
💯 Appreciate what you do ❤️💪👍
Perhaps it may seem overwhelming, but the real question is what works...his techniques really work!!!
doing exercise only works if the cause is underdeveloped muscle but i feel like that glute bridges are pretty good for APT.
This is so incredibly helpful. Thank you. Are you in Denver?

If you dont feel your abs. Do ab exercises until you feel them.
Yeah bud per the other comment, I had the same issue, do a set of oblique exercises, then once activated try these drills.
Where can I see a professional to get personalized diagnosis/therapy ?
If you have foot misalignment, pelvic and shoulder misalignment how do you progress to weights to strenghten the mid and upper back without getting headaches? Would a foam mat help
Hi there , i have exactly the same issue for three years, it is my left side and which exercises should I do to improve my posture?
I wish you lived near me. I would be booking myself in...
Do you have any videos to help fix straight back syndrome because there’s not much information on that topic
Where can i find the first picture of pilates collective denver, 2019
Anyone knows a good therapist for these kind of issues in the Netherlands/ Europe?
Heyyy... I can't understand which videos are useful for me ?I found out I have front head & hunchback & dropped shoulders & a bit of rip flare.
My knee pops when I jump or run fast.. pls tell me some mobility exercise to overcome the issue
En México donde puedo encontrar un entrenador de pri?

Not being cranked on your phone I guess just live like some good posture person
I think you need specific exercises. That's the point of the video
excercises he gave in the video strengthen muscles that help adjust the pelvic tilt
Can anybody tell me how to contact Connor Harris,where is his physiotherapy studio?
No idea but as far as I know he doesn't do consults. If this was the case, I would be flying tomorrow from Switzerland ! :(((
@@kilianred9890yeah no consults bud. There is a generic email.
Where can i find a pri couch in Germany??
In Berlin search for KAZUFUMI NISHIMURA
Any shoes you recommend to use with orthotics? A lot of shoes don't have extra room for them
Wide foot shoes. It has to mimic what our feet naturally look like.
How about coffee?

Try internally rotating your foot when doing the motion then see if the clunk disappears

@@jamiebowen7315 Ah, yes, I'd seen that video before. I need to go back and watch it again and put a bit more thought into what it's telling me.
There is no way my PSIS bones are touching the mat or wall! By spine rounds a lot at the point and I have APT so it seems to be impossible for me.

Or "stress". Astrologers do better than that.
Very interesting theory, but I don't see how this fits with this common posture:
(Collapsed arches and x legs)
Slightly bent knees
Anterior pelvic tilt
Slouched back and rounded shoulders.
Nerdneck.
More exercises that don't require lying on the ground would be great.
in one video you say to tense the glutes, in this one you tell us to not do it...
