How To Fix The Root Cause Of Thoracic Kyphosis & Upper Crossed Syndrome (Hunchback Posture)

[@JonnyKozoom]

Who is this guy and why, after watching dozens of posture videos, is he the only one mentioning the ribcage involvement?! It seems so incredibly important to our posture. I have chronic pain in my left hip since 8 years. After watching some of his videos, and doing his exercises, I felt the pain relief for the first time. You can tell he's incredibly knowledgeable and also very good at explaining. Somebody give this man a noble price please.

[@zacharyb2723]

Functional Patterns too, I see overlap with what this dude is doing. he's a bit easier to understand but I have done FP for years and they both make more sense than most.

@@cantseeshadow I discovered my issues were from a near death experience in my life that my body was stuck firing into my muscles to try and replay back to me.

Man these videos are giving me hope again that there may be a fix to my situation. For 6 years now i have been unable to get a satisfying breath specifically on my right side. My muscles in my neck have been overworked trying to help me breathe and they are aggravated! They are trying to do an ablation on nerves in my neck but i think the root issue is thoracic outlet adjacent. I need to find a physical therapist who can look at my issue and not dismiss it as I have been dismissed for 6 years. I straight up showed them your video. People take for granted the ability to not think about their breathing. Every breath i take I am aware of… still hoping one day the right set of eyes can determine my issue

Been following for some weeks now, thorax was completly stuck forward towards the left andpelvis forward towards the right. For over a decade.... Been practicing the 360 breathing for 5 weeks now.

If you have this posture please find out if you have Bertolotti syndrome. I have had this posture since I was a child. I have had severe back pain off and on since i was 10 years old. No one ever took my back pain seriously. Doctors wouldn't help and thought it was muscular. It wasn't. At 27, I had a fully ruptured L4-5 disc. It was horrendous pain and sciatic nerve damage. Fast forward 2 decades, I got a functional mri done for another reason, and the doctor told me I had Bartolotti syndrome! It explains everything. The childhood back pain, the ruptured disc, the swayback posture. Bertolotti's is congenital, meaning you're born with it. Please make sure you find a doctor who knows about this syndrome and get scanned for it if you have chronic back pain, swayback posture. I developed severe bacterial pneumonia 4 months ago and dant take full breaths. I thimk the pneumonia is related to not being able to breathe in fully.

I was always thinking of improving outer rotation! I will have to overthink this many times, do the exercises and come back to your video to get this out of my mind!😅

[@cmtwei9605]

The position of the pelvis should be considered as you said, in a kyphosis there's less room for the rib cage to expand and the diaphragm to contract but normally during breathing without exertion it's mostly gentle quiet diaphragmatic breathing. Accessory respiratory muscles are usually only recruited in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or severe kyphosis or other conditions with chest wall weakness. The lower ribs are genuinely pulled 'down' in people with emphysema.

Technically, you are very nearly correct. However, the propensity for one to reference their skull as oneself, and use as a midline reference the skull itself versus as you say, “the midline of the body.” So, at least two reference points: 1) I strive to keep my head “upright” versus, independent of my body, 2) I strive to keep my head upright and over my body. Ones body can be fairly straight or crooked but the head can also, the two are not necessarily aware. We all know people with slouched or injured posture who under or over compensate, deteriorate, and improve. Some cultures do not approve of the very open chested, uprighted head, straight ahead or uplifted gaze. So, “posture” itself has many cultural meanings and interpretations Personally, the movements of trained ballet dancers show what is a very open breathing mechanism.

[@sticky59]

Good general mobility program but the big dogs have proven that the only way to decrease a thoracic kyphosis is with fulcrum traction under load, over time. The change in kyphosis is the shrinking or tightening of the anterior longitudinal ligament primarily and the only thing that has been proven to change the length of a ligament is loaded traction ... as per the CBP protocols (Deed Harrison). Good luck with it ..... its all in Spine, European Spine Journal and Journal of Manipulation and Physiological Therapeutics. Enjoy.

Fantastic video! I have significant anterior pelvic tilt and upper crossed syndrome. My question is why would it be that my right shoulder is chronically internally rotated in comparisons to my left. Doesn’t matter how many lower trap, rhomboid or external shoulder rotator muscles exercises I do. My right pec always stays extremely knotted with my right shoulder forward and not my left so much. What would this indicated about potentially my hips or any other fundamental issue.

I am planning on going to see the source in Lincoln, NB, unless you are blessed to have someone like Connor or Neal in your area! So for me, thats what I plan on doing, but in addition to that, I’m realizing I might have to really figure this out for myself by learning as much as I can from the PRI institute and channels like this, if it weren’t for these videos I may have NEVER figured out what was wrong with me. Please go see a PRI specialist, or educate yourself or both! Blessings! D.C.

You won't read this but this is first time I've seen any reasonable mechanical explanation that didn't involve "you have weak x muscles you just need to exercise your back" so called experts are completely unable to think about this issue because they don't realistically care about it. Question: what are your thoughts on the trigger/ catalyst for this being a structural weakness in one or more of the vertebrae in childhood, causing the body to compensate in the different ways? I have noticed a point in my spine that appears to be able to bend more than the rest of the spine. And body attempts to use muscles elsewhere to stay upright, over time it fails to stay upright impacting other areas

I do get relief and breathe with my chest naturrally after doing the exercise, but this only lasts for a minute and afterwards go straight back to belly breathing.

And my skeleton itself is permanently changed. But it took a LOT of dedication. Required commitment every day, all day long. As well as while sleeping. First I had to loosen/lengthen all my muscles, tendons, and ligaments (from calves to my neck). Then I had to strengthen the muscles. Next I had to start fixing the posture itself. Followed by having to obsessively remember to maintain the posture. And then comes the hardest part; making your brain turn it into your permanent, default posture that's maintained subconsciously.

Hey Conor, you talk about turning your head towards the same side as the lat that is being stretched. My head massively wants to turn the other way (left) in almost all these activities. Even after I’m done w exercises and my torso more naturally rotates left, it’s difficult to turn my head right. Do you think this is a muscle issue or is this a more complicated cervical issue? Massive kyphosis on my right side, less on my left

[@G4RR3TTJ]

You most likely damaged something on your right side (vertebrae, knee, shoulder) and it put you into a state of right avoidance. The left side overcompensated for the movements thus the musculature is more developed. Suitcase carry in good posture should help. ❣️
