Most people need a lot of the same things to start 😁🧠

@@conorharrisThis might seem like a dumb question but since this anterior pelvic tilt and forward head posture is to breathe easier, couldn’t meditation in a sitting monk like position for maybe 20min a day get rid of this problem?

@@alb0zfinest It's not a dumb question. Thats basically what this is but with a specific posture to reinforce the good breathing. without These instructions odds are people might reinforce their already "bad" breathing.

ah shut up with your 2 cent wisdom bro.

i feel you. air gushed into new area this week. felt like chest was floating.

you still doing it and do you have a big notice in posture afterwards?

I've been sleeping on floor last 2 weeks. helps imo my back was adjusting, but one night i felt a pull from one side making me feel twisted. immediately shifted to the floor. has gotten better. start sleep by sleeping on back. not proud of this but I've realized weed helps guide you to your natural position.

I am the same, weakness and lack of activity during lockdown got me. I ended up on a CPAP because I was having issues breathing because of it. Still trying to fix it as we speak. I have spent thousands and sports med doctors never spotted anything. My guts just hand out, all my breath want to go into my stomach.

@@skip3662 then check pri out

He mentions 2-3 sets of 5-10 breath cycles for each exercise morning and night so you can add more it seems!

Been there as well, it really is hell, there’s a lot happening from a biomechanical standpoint. I wouldn’t force anything or keep pushing through this could make things even more tight. Simply said it’s aligning the pelvic floor with the diaphragm (ribcage, pelvis) the so called “stack” and distribute the air in the right manner to get the right expansion, In a way you will have to reshape your ribcage so that the sternum (pump handle) will function again. I like this one, but there are multiple ones, I would try all sorts of pri exercises, I got out of hell and so can you. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z5ypatKUlZzFd4E.html

@@ferranvandenbos4057 Thanks Ferran, I appreciate your words. Thanks for that link, I do like his work very much, I had a consultation with him a while ago and wish I lived closer to do a 1 on 1 in person. I'll keep at it, but you are correct that there are a lot of biomechanical elements at play here that all need to coordinate and work together in order to achieve what I used to have, what a journey. Once again thanks for the reply !

@@skip3662 Hi Brett, I hear you, I am from the Netherlands, there isn’t a single pri or good practitioner here as well. Luckily there are good KZfaq videos. Some details that helped me as well: I also noticed when being so compressed especially in the sternum area, I would avoid to many back lying exercises and instead do more side lying (like left adductor pullback, right glute max etc. Some rolling activities to compress the ribcage more on the sides so it can expand in different areas. Also important is to figure out which muscles are more lengthened (inactive) and which are more shortened (active), as there can be some laxity in some muscles, and tightness in the wrong places. Tongue posture(mewing), nose breathing is also crucial to address complete balance. Restoring the foot pressures that influence the pelvis in the right way, also some manual work, like releasing the pectoralis minor with a tennis ball to be able to move the ribs better, having the right cues to restore all relations of your body mechanics is also monumental. I also like Greg Chaplin, his cues are awesome. Happy to help, it’s indeed a journey, the knowledge you will gain is forever, the discomfort is temporary, keep going and you will get where you want to be.

@@ferranvandenbos4057 how long does it take? for kyphosis. I’ve been doing these anterior thorax expansion exercises for 2-3 weeks, it improved a lot in the first few days that i did the moves correctly but it’s been plateu since then. same for shoulder IR. also, you think we should focus on pushing the ground with elbows/hands or is that just said so that we get our ribcage back and retract?

Hi @@Foxyte it’s difficult to give it an estimate timeframe it really depends on the severity of your compensations, and understanding them, and if you get coaching or not, it took me two years doing it myself but if I knew how the body worked I guess I could have done it in probably 6 months or less, it’s practice and understanding where the compensations are so you can address them, and get aligned again. If you have the feeling of plateauing I would check other areas, like the hips, maybe your glutes are too tight, and then the pelvic floor won’t accept the guts as this is needed to get the right pressures, In retrospect it’s a pressure problem, you want the right pressures in the ribcage so you can achieve the right ranges. Also getting the center of gravity back and maintaining the stack is one of the most important fundamentals to get aligned again. It is really addressing everything, like the feet contacts, hand contacts, shinbones, ankles, femurs, hips, the whole system, as above so below, also I would check your tongue posture, it could make a huge difference. Practice makes perfect, I like his cues, to restore the sternum and ribcage dynamics kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qs-BerCYvpynfnU.html hope it helps💪🏻

How is it?

Does it work bro

Hi there, most importantly for addressing what you mentioned is to bring alignment in the pelvic floor and diaphragm, the so called “stack”. And the neck probably needs more extension instead of flexion, also keeping the shoulders away from the ears, some scapula retraining, the good news is, its a biomechanical problem and it can be fixed also important is to figure out which muscles are more lengthened and which are more shortened, as there can be some laxity in some muscles, and tightness in the wrong places. Tongue posture is also crucial to address this. I would avoid exercises on the back in the beginning, and instead do more side lying and rolling activities to compress the ribcage more on the sides so it can expand in different areas. There’s unfortunately no “one” exercise, since there are multiple things that need to be addressed, I would try all sorts of pri exercises, eventually you will be able to bring back the body into the right place. I like this one for addressing the flat t-spine, great flexion exercise, hope it helps: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nN9_hrCQ1-Cbk2g.html

@Christian Mac thank you, I really appreciate it man! 👍🏼

You need a new body bro

😅. That's was a good comment and question...I am still baffled

Low impact exercises possibly pool. Don't do push ups

Just walking does a world of difference. Get your body moving but safely. I try to tell myself that on my worst days. I have hip and knee issues so some days I completely skip lunges. Just doing something consistently is the goal.

U should see a PRI practictioner. If u have the midline shift, prism glasses can and will likely help. But as I said, u should search for a practictioner who can help you

But in general, vision is the last thing that gets adressed if everything else didn‘t help

@@zvonijeli8494 they only in us and germany and onlined are so expensive

@@Foxyte it‘s also expensive when it‘s in person. I know it‘s hard, but maybe try to safe some money and do at least one or two sessions online… I‘m in the same boat. I payed 300 Euros for one session and don‘t have the money at all. Took it from the money that my parents safed for me…

Simple doesn’t mean easy. Most of these exercises are simple, with few moving parts. However if possible, don’t fall into the idea of thinking they’re easy to do correctly 👌🏻
