Optimal Exercise Selection for Left AIC and Right BC Patterns

[@xmanjstevie8480]

Learning about left aic has been a game changer for me. I've got a right hip that literally snaps and clunks out of place, consistent knee discomfort especially when I sleep and pain when I put weight into my right big toe/foot arch. I think my posture is locked into a bad position but I always thought I needed to work on my right side and ignored the left. Realising I need to be shifting more to the left has finally made me feel like I'm on the path to improvement Credit to yourself and Neal Hallinan

[@TheeGT51]

I finally get the shin angle/phase of gait style training! That’s why dorsiflexion and pronation is typically so limited on the right- we’re early/mid biased. And the counter on the left- we need early phase. You do a great job explaining, I can’t believe it’s just now clicking.

[@conorharris]

That's awesome! Sometimes hearing things a slightly different way can make all the difference.

Man I just 72h ago discovered PRI and all your content makes so much more sense now Conor. PRI needs to go mainstream, like Huberman and Attia need to cover this and make it go viral. I'm trying to search out a local PRI trained practitioner to help my left AIC situation (mainly from tennis)

[@justmenonya932]

Thank you sooo much for this!!!!! So i did all the exercises you suggested in this video and i feel amazing!!!!!!!!!!! I have such imbalances and i could definitely tell the difference from side to side. Im putting this into my regular routine so i can assist with the imbalances. Thanks again youre very knowledgeable!!

I don’t know why there’s such limited info on left aic it’s so hard to find videos or info thank you so much you have no idea the mental and physical relief finding this video has given me.

[@jordanozerities4258]

Just wanted to say that I’ve noticed I have the deviatios in my structure accurate with AIC and I’ve been listening and applying the knowledge and it’s been life changing because what I was doing wasn’t fixing my alignment. I’ve only been on this a couple weeks and all the years of college football built muscle on this dysfunction frame so it’s taking time. I could never keep the left heel down or feel it. The staggered stance with heel elevation contralateral deadlift really allowed me to feel my heel and drive out of it for once. 👍🏼🙏🏼

[@dillan9494]

Hi Conor, thank you very much for this detailed and informative content. You've helped me out a lot already. Would you be willing to do a video on how we can combat left aic/ right bc pattern in common scenarios that we find ourselves in, such as: 1. When walking with and without shoes - e.g recommended footwear + insoles or lack thereof, and similar for without shoes indoors. 2. Techniques we can use when seated at desks/or on the sofa I'm always looking for little things I can do all day to help combat this compensatory pattern. Thank you.

[@Epic30secMaterial]

Are you supposed to do these exercises only on 1 side until you reach pelvis neutrality?

[@eduardovillanes]

I hsve been being very interested in the Postural Restoration Institute aproach during thepast 2 years. I found it a little bit complex to understand for me since I am not profesionally related to medicine and physical activity,, although I like to research all methods available to heal my bad posture. I find your explanations much more understandable than those from other PRI specialists I previously found in youtube. I will start to follow you.

[@al66635]

This video has left me confused on one thing. I just watched Zac Cupples' video about the differences between rear and front foot elevated split squats. Basically he concluded that front foot elevated split squats improve external rotation to a greater extend, while rear foot elevated squats provide more of a challenge for internal rotators. Yet, the advice in this video seems to suggest the opposite. Am I missing/misunderstanding something? Anyhow, thanks for the great info.

@@conorharris Hey Connor, Does your bulletproof training program incorporate a lot of these exercises? Or is this video more of getting back into the right Balance/function of the pelvis? I’ve been training for a long while with the left AIC Rt BC pattern and I do believe to optimize growth in training, i would certainly need to incorporate more unilateral specific exercises to help regain that natural pelvic/scapular position. I would rather commit to a organized and consistent program rather then just doing random exercises. Thank you :)

Hello Conor, i have Left aic Bc pattern. Being the left scapula far from the insertion to the humerus, is it posible that the subscapular tendon that form the rotator cuff is always tense, or more tense/stretched than normal? I have pain in front shoulder and have discarded other tendons by testing them. I avoid exercices that stretches subscapular tendom because they cause pain, like cable rows that stretches at the excentric, peck deck por chest, and Peck Deck for posterior delts. I am condidering doing partial reps at the begining of the motion only as the stretched position the tendom is weaker. I would appreciate any tip from you, aswell from anybody's opinion Thank you, AC

[@mleii1169]

I couldn't find any videos about this topic when I searched but I'd be interested on your take of frozen shoulder. As in how you think it starts and how to resolve/improve it. Had it starting around June last year, I've made a lot of progress, but found it rather odd that it even happened at all and odd as to where I feel the pain (guessing it's referred) when I'm trying to improve my shoulder mobility. Luckily for me it's not as bad as I've seen others and as mentioned I've made a lot of progress so I'm getting a lot closer to normal range of motion, though it can still cause some pain. Really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

I am loving all of your videos Conor! I have really been trying to follow and practice your videos. The only problem I have been having is I lean more on my left side (where I have lower back pain), so I think I am needing more external rotation on my left side and more internal rotation on my right side. I hope I am correct on this. All of the videos I have seen have been about left AIC and it has been kinda difficult for me to do the opposite side of the one you have been teaching. It will just take more practice. Do you have any tips on making sure I am correct about needing external rotation on my left and needing internal rotation on my right? Thank you for all of these videos Conor!

[@shakilhaque1822]

Hey connor, im wondering if these exercises train our neurosensory system. Assuming a person that suffered knee trauma which forced the body to be "stuck" in the pattern as a result of the fear of instability, would these exercises help the body to have faith in its left side stance?

Probably

Tread carefully with overhead motions if your symptoms are severe. I caused a blood clot in my right arm from working out too aggressively and made a real mess of things. Look up Paget-Schroetter syndrome, I think the internal rotation on the right side is the missing piece on it's cause.

[@Jnobes102]

Great explanations and examples for helping correct these discrepancies. When barbell squatting should I focus on pushing through back left heel and right medial arch pattern?

[@DogrusoezS]

is that a LAIC RBC pattern at 1:10 ? my right ilium looks exactly like that and the most shown exercises are making my symptoms worse. it would be great if you could explain how the two ilium and scapula behave towards each other. for example, what does it mean for the ipsilateral ilium if my left arm push is stronger. these are cues that everyone can understand and use immediately. although you explain it much better and in a more structured way than bill and zac.

[@zaynmalice7106]

If these make your symptoms worse, I would assume you have a secondary compensation pattern like a lateral or oblique pelvic orientation OR your execution is off. That's not really a great photo to base your assumptions off. I have a CAM impingement in my left hip, so some of my test results are not indicative of classic Left AIC and some femoral internal rotation biased exercises can aggravate it, you potentially have a similar issue.

[@lewiskhella2227]

Read the article still confused tho. For the preacher curl are we curling with the left or right arm?

[@emmaeIIe]

What are the symptoms? My left hip is internally rotated and my right is externally rotated. When I do some leg raises or high kicks to the side, I got some electric shocks in the quad of me left leg. And my right hip pops a lot. My right shoulder is tighter than the left.

So the right hip "sits higher" and is typical in most people presenting these patterns, but does the right hip physically sit lower when standing? (The foot has to reach the ground, the hip has to drop to get it there) or does a lower right hip when standing, actually mean, a lower right hip?

Hey Conor. Great stuff as always. You're videos are the best on the interwebs! Quick question... does elevating your back heel (left heel) on the split stance deadlift put your left pelvis in a more internally or externally rotated position? In the video you have linked to the article you wrote along with this (also awesome... thank you!) you say elevating the left heel puts the left pelvis in an externally rotated position. But aren't we trying to internally rotate the left pelvis? I've also seen vids recommending elevating the ball of the left foot. I... I'm confused... lol! Thanks Conor! Also, I bought your anterior pelvic tilt program. Not surprisingly... it's excellent. Have a good night! Zach
