I’ve struggled with fibro pains for the last 10 years and your videos are helping a lot

[@ChaplinPerformance]

So happy to hear this!! Keep going!!

@@ChaplinPerformance Brother I'm honestly really in debt to you. I am going through the worst period of my life struggling with immense chronic pain at 25 years old. Just lost a 7 year relationship due to issues stemming from this pain. I'm sad that I found your videos so late but I'm happy I stumbled across them. The diaphragm videos were also amazing. Please continue making such informative innovative content. It's desperately needed within this terrible fitness and wellness industry.

Great info... Need to do that breathing technique, sounds a good one. Here's the exercise I'd just been doing before this video popped into my feed; I'm sitting on the floor with my back against the front of the couch with the soles of my feet pressing against each other to form an open clam shape with my legs and the feet resting on cushions. I noticed my hip flexors were awakened by the position, so I gently raised both knees, bringing them up and inwards. The weight is quite challenging and a good little workout for 1 minute or so.

That’ll get it all working!!!

Hi. I'm a dentist and I can barely sit in a chair anymore. Lower back is insanely rounded. If I extend my lumbar spine I go into an insane anterior pelvic tilt. Everything feels 100% locked up/rigid in the lower back muscles and glutes just below the waist line. Front of the thighs also crazy tight. Calves frozen. Can't really even manipulate my feet...they are locked up pretty much too. Shoulder/neck/jaw....it's a mess. Sometimes I can get everything to unwind and I feel like I won the lottery, but it's short lived. Been told I have a right cranial torsion.....total insanity.....any experience with this? My entire body is twisted up like towel ...head to toe....sometimes it magically untwists, but it's impossible to pinpoint the origin. Right scapula is usually winged, but then sometimes the left is winged. One day I'm 6 2, the next im 6 ft tall. 1 day I have a short neck, the next day I have long next. 1 day the mid back is straight, the next its rounded. 1 day my femurs are externally rotated, the next they are internally rotated. Seems to be a something consistently going on between the bottom of the left anterior rib cage and the top of the left anterior pelvic bone....if I twist my rib cage to down and to the left (like I'm trying to look over my left shoulder) I can feel something trying to connect between those 2 points. My waist size can change 2-3 sizes from 1 day to the next. thanks

i am hurt he never answered your thorough question!

[@Anvita444]

@@cinmac3 I think that a muscle imbalance on the left hip/leg has rotated my lumbar spine to the right. Right scapula winged. Then right side of neck got stuck down/back and towards the left hip diagonally across my back. Then left side of rib cage rotated right to compensate. Right hip stuck in external rotation. Right femur stuck in external rotation. Left femur stuck internally rotated. Lower legs and feet followed suit. Final domino was right cranial torsion and partial insanity. This is my working hypothesis...corrections/tips to correct extremely encouraged. Also got a nice upper cross syndrome with mega pissed scalenes as a bonus feature. winning

[@Anvita444]

what I mean is that this is the general pattern I have observed....the order/chain of events I don't really understand fully. Also the left hip way low and internally rotated a ton. Left calf muscle and left foot is pretty much stuck/immobile......Tibia is rotated internally. Left knee frozen. Left foot pronated? I think? The pattern is so bad I developed a sliding hiatal herna loss of bladder control ect.... my right eye area of my face and right cheek even got pulled back and down towards the right upper trap as the fascia eventually got pulled and twisted under my skin like warped plastic cling wrap. There was a lot of emotional trauma and weight loss that preceded all this.....I went from 240 to 170, now I'm at 205. I bring my own baggage to the party......

[@Anvita444]

The aforementioned is, I believe the predominate pattern. If I twist my way out of it and get my spine lined up and straight then I slip into severe thoracic kyphosis, stretched out traps, wide shoulder, and a shortened neck and compressed abdomen. From there I usually slip in a lumbar lordosis/anterior pelvic tilt, then my neck goes into lordosis and lengthens and front of my body gets pulled down to the ground like gravity got turned up to 10k, and I can't breath or think.......and then I'm back to where I started as initially described, and the cycle repeats. ftw

@@Anvita444 i do too, similar , i think , in somatics . do you have a you tube of the movements you do, Cory.
