The Best Thing You Aren't Doing For Thoracic Mobility & Health

[@diwakarchinnu6459]

So many years I bean lazy now I'm realising mobility and breathing quality thank you sir...

[@dominikgolus9160]

Wow… I mean, I am completely wiped out. Literally, you saved my life. I had been struggling with hyper hyper kyphosis, scoliosis and hyper lordosis for years. However, you are the first one that I am seeing a huge progress with. I bend down to my knees. Thank you Connor.

[@conorharris]

That is incredible to read. This is why I do what I do

[@Stoffendous]

It is incredible to read.

[@andresrodrl]

How did you manage it? Im on the same position and cant seem to find the right exercises. Ton of pain

[@VittorioRanieri]

I would like to know too how you managed that :)

[@MickStephenson-g9l]

The absolute best fitness content on KZbin. Thank you again Conor for the indispensable knowledge.

[@monicaboudreault6454]

Conor I can't tell you enough how thankful I am for these videos, I have Venous Thoracic Outlet Syndrome which caused me to have a blood clot in my arm which could have been fatal. I am so thankful for all of your knowledge. Thank you

[@thomaskishmanii2675]

You have the best KZbin channel to help people breaking barriers. For years I’ve struggled with getting my knees over toes and your video on how it’s not just dorsiflexion but hip internal rotation is what few and far people talk about. My hip internal rotation is getting much better and balance also just from watching your videos. Thank You and God Bless T

[@conorharris]

Thank you for taking the time to give the supportive comment, Thomas! Means a lot to read that

[@joelvirolainen590]

Pri is the best, most effective stuff to heal pain and dysfunction in KZbin (I should know, I looked for years!). Also, now I know what is good posture, how my body should look, what muscles should be engaged and how I can train them to turn on. Glad to see you're doing more videos for general public. Not to say your runner's training/therapy wasn't effective, but this is more approachable. Thank you!

[@lauratimmins2177]

Your knowledge of body movement is brilliant. So detailed when the exercises are executed. I have been using squat wedges for a while and my new osteopath/athletic trainer likes that I use them to get into a better position. I've been watching all your videos and have learned more than any personal training course I've ever taken on movement patterns. Thx.

[@herliftdiary]

Very interesting. Thank you! I don't see a lot of coaches talking about the neutral thoracic spine

[@vimalverma8610]

you are the best man

[@nbkz8]

Great stuff as always Connor! Pri got me out of 2 years pain and disfunction. Thank you!

[@matthewbeumer3168]

Very interesting and very informative. Matt the pilates teacher.

[@ashleyfarias449]

Good stuff as always Conor!

[@felixicuss]

Mobility doesnt mean that you are in an extreme position, but that you could go into extreme positions, if needed. Good video, as always^^

[@ConstructiveMinds100]

Looking forward to trying it out.

[@CreationInEmotion]

Hi Conor , I’m a 45y.o. Female that recently ( well, in the past 5 years) realized that there’s something really funny going on with my musculoskeletal system. I’ve been looking for someone who is as surgical as you about their knowledge to help me figure out what’s the route of this cascade of adjustments that my body is doing ( where now it’s getting pretty serious health wise) . I’ve gotten flashes of answers from a number of pretty kick ass ppl around the world but it was far from enough for an actual change. Do you do personal help? ( pls say yes) Just few clues: internal rotation , pelvic tilt , (from what I see from some of your videos a “open flower” pelvis), almost no firing of core muscles ( thus 9 months pregnant look), front lifted rib cage, fwrd head posture, ( in last couple years : dropped hyoid bone, receding jaw, difficulty keeping breathing laringal space open especially when sleeping so my thong is in constant flex and now cramps - my whole face changed ) , cervical instability…..

[@jaymills1720]

Conor great channel! Are you aware of loss of lordosis in both cervical and thoracic affecting migraines, vision, and/or vestibular system? PTSD/stress I am on the phone sitting and in fight or flight tension and lost lordosis and have migraines light sensitivity nauseous and visual snow.

[@tiagobernardoxD]

Very good as always

[@thestarisalie]

Ive noticed that starting with small stretches and rotations and then going deeper works best. I cant go very far anyway but that seems to be a good tsctic.

[@Blackirish__]

Nice one thanks mine has been out and twisted for years it’s so painful seems to start at t6 and up from boxing, the X ray says it all

[@jebby16]

What's the xray show?

[@Blackirish__]

@@jebby16 about 10 degree lean

[@WooliteMammoth]

Could you go over how you would cue those mechanics for a barbell squat? Much easier to get that feeling of posteriorly pushing the ribs and stack with a goblet squat (or even a front squat) but Much trickier for a barbell back squat. Could be my shoulder mobility limitations, of course.

[@SalmanKhan-ep6tp]

Hey Conor. Please make a video on tailbone pain while setting. Thanks

[@trbeyond]

What about the lowest thoracic region or the upper lumbar? How does someone work to increase mobility there?

[@HealthandExercise-ht1zl]

5:08 did you miss removing a take there? ;)

[@jebby16]

At first I thought it was a glitch in the Matrix.

[@3pathfinder3]

Such a great video… Thank you!

[@sherylchilders6]

I don’t understand the difference between thoracic mobility and scapular stabilization - are these things dependent on one another? How do you know which one is the culprit with upper body posture problems?

[@consistentme22]

12:17 I've heard PTs mention to push the elbows forward during a goblet squat before and I believe now I know why they cue this. it's setting the rib cage in the same position as the first exercise when going down, right? I instantly feel the side of my ribs engaging when I hit about a 45 degree angle of elbow lift. thanks for the insight Doc 🙏🤙

[@LL-rk5lv]

I need him in my life

[@sawmanbigtreeslayer2360]

Where do you live?

[@jakkritphanomchit]

Does pushing the ribs back mean to say "protract the scapula"? Because I'm confused by your terminology

[@SoBayK80]

Protract is not used for anatomical description of movement, at least using anatomical terms.

[@elizabethdoherty7458]

Go Trevor @12:30! Droppin’ it like it’s hot🎱

[@davicpetrovski155]

I have pain in the uppger back, the point you talk about, it was after covid where we has to work from home. I had bad posture, now it hurts. I can bend the back. Any recommendations?

[@Hassounah82]

A 2nd question, if we haven’t seen yet restored neutrality in the pelvis, are we wasting our time trying to restore neutrality in any other joints (e.g ankles, thoracic) ?

[@Nature22]

No anything you are doing to your body heals, your body seeks nueatral it knows nothing but to heal and align its self trust the process!

[@felixicuss]

Everything is connected, so you should work on everything. Especially if its below your area of focus

[@faraztheawsum]

Youre the goat

[@pontussandberg9912]

Could this work for flat thorac spine/ hypokyphosis?

[@JoshuaKhosa]

What does push your ribs back mean?

[@squashduos1258]

Very few I would say are already in an extension position…

[@dienivaca2473]

is this good for flat thoracic spine? and posterior pelvis

[@tungphung8018]

thank you so much, this is what i needed hands up for your great work

[@juliediaz2620]

@conor harris can you give me any pointers with a 3finger width Diastasis recti

[@853rudedogs2]

Myth Buster be proud Top stuff Conor

[@conorharris]

👊🏻👊🏻

[@RanjitSingh-jf2kg]

cannot feel the first movement at all...im also trying to not sink in but hardly stretch felt across the mid-back

[@jonathansenkow3955]

Hey Conor thanks for all this useful information it's been helpful for my AIC BC pattern that I in. I do have a question about my left scap in relation to the pattern. Would it be good to incorporate the long tri head and low trap exercises for my left as well as the right?

[@mikeobrien1559]

Ah! Thanks.🙏🏻

[@tmarkovski]

You mention "a lot of people think this" in your video quite a bit. Is it possible that a lot of people are wrong about this? I mean, these aren't new problems. Just wondering.

[@zjeee]

His methods and approach is different from the traditional way of looking at it that is all. Doesnt mean the traditional way is wrong they arrive at the same conclusion although they have different ideas of what it takes to get there and what approach is more effective.

[@Hassounah82]

Why are we external rotating into the band ?

[@conorharris]

Opens up the back ribcage more, especially with the palms out

[@razif6916]

Awesome

[@MelikaShirazi-uh3js]

I have flat thoratic I dont know what to do

[@ASRmann]

Where you get the hoody man 😅
