I broke my neck and jaw 21 years ago, and I’ve been doing some of your exercises to deal with this horrendous rib pain I get in both the front and back of my rib cage. Last night after doing your exercises, I could finally breathe well enough to sleep thru the night. I was relaxed in a way that I’ve not felt since before the accident. Thank you so much.

Your videos are excellent. I’ve been watching other professionals on KZfaq but hasn’t helped as much as your video’s and exercises. I have chronic pain and I’ve been feeling relief in places I’ve been dealing with pain for many years and I’m still in my twenties. Some solutions are surprisingly simple yet complex by needing this knowledge from a professional who really knows what they’re talking about. You are very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Thank you for your content, it is life saving!!! 🙏

Thank you for another excellent presentation.

As soon as I get the job I am going to sign up with you Connor !

I'm collecting likes for Connor Harris to make a video on how to fix internal leg friction when walking

Thanks a lot 🙂 great Trevor, also 🙂!! Go Trevor go!!| 🙂 Bravo Conor 🙂 !

I have rather prominent forward head posture with significant upper back rounding and rolled shoulders. When flat on my back, my hands are easily able to touch the ground in external rotation (without any shoulder or rib pop up, I made sure), while I have limited movement in internal rotation. This is the opposite of how things should be for me according to your video. I'd love to understand why this is.

Great content. Thanks! One question: where do I find a pellow?

No more Quasimodo for me after watching this. Good informative video

Conor thank you for your content and to get viewers to do more root cause analysis. Based on what I have been seeing, the body seems to make adjustments to breathe better. Is it possible that tightness of the jaw (TMJ)/jaw placement can compromise breathing and indirectly force the body to get into poor posture?

Can you do a video on neck hump please !!

Team 2 👍 the pillow exercise sucked 😂 which means it's probably pretty good, also no wonder I feel more relaxed when I allow myself to sit with "poor" posture sometimes.

QUESTION to the professional: If you have posture problems, could it help to sleep on a large pillow on your back (like in this video) so that your chest is automatically higher when you sleep on your back? Or would that be nonsensical?

I have good external rotation on my right shoulder, poor internal rotation. On my left shoulder, this seems to be reversed. Should I do both versions of the exercise?

He's so charming can't stop watching his videos to get fit

hey conor, i need help. i am pretty sure i have left aic overactive like many people but my right shoulder is significantly higher than left. rest all is exactly the normal left aic right bc tmcc . what does this mean

I def have more external rotation, lots of rib flare.. but after trying the exercises at the end of the video my ribs hurt so much it felt like someone drop kicked me in the back of the rib cage :/

You are need amazing

11:45 As someone with more external rot., I just wanted to ask if the keeping the feet flat at a 90 degree angle also important while sitting throughout the day? Because I'm usually sitting on a chair that is relatively higher and a) either my feet aren't flat on the ground or b) my knees have more than a 90 degree angle (pointing down - are below my hip level). Does this also maybe lead to external rotation of the ribcage/hip?

Can't we simply open the backribs by using a myofascial release ball?

Is it possible I have anterior pelvic tilt as a result of poor internal rotation of the shoulder?

This summer I suffered from lumbar pain so severe I was unable to work my construction job for almost 2 months. I have narrowed the cause primarily to my faulty breathing patterns. The expansion of the back part of the ribcage described in this video is essential. The ribs truly must be able to expand in all directions as a balloon and putting limits to this will cause problems throughout the body. Sitting in a chair with a backrest(car seat, office chair, etc.) prevents this and is what I belive to be a leading cause of neck, thoracic- and lumbar pain. Sitting too close to your desk restricts your belly from expanding. I would like to put emphasis on the physiological sigh described in this video, tons of research show this to be a protocol that effectively reduces stress, tension and even ADHD symptoms(which I do have a clinical diagnosis of). The breath truly is the corner stone of health. Pay attention to how often you hold your breath/breathe shallow when in front of a screen. My #1 tip: Use a stool(or sit at the edge of your chair) for 1 week and you will be amazed how many pains and aches will diminish.

Hope this is of help to somebody else, thank you so much for putting out this content Mr. Harris, a gift to the world.

I've Apt Hunchback Forward head Rounded shoulder Aic right bc I also have rib flare What should I fix first?

What if you can’t pass neither tests

What is your career?

Take a shot every time he says pellow

Have you ever researched the Alexander technique. According to its teachings your "fixed" posture in the thumbnail is still not "good" posture. Surely a man as expertised as you has come across it, I am wondering what your opinions are?

I would like to see just 1 before and after proof that anyone's posture has been fixed by anyone anywhere. Not picking on you because I like some of your back pain stuff. But there's zero chance breathing exercises are going to change a lifetime of bad posture. Prove me wrong with a real before and after person.... please

This guy isn’t qualified to talk about any of this. He’s at best a personal trainer. Pretty disingenuous.
