How To Fix Uneven Shoulders - Lower Left vs Lower Right Side Differences

[@tomspencer8950]

Glad I recently found your channel, I have a dropped shoulder and I couldn’t work out what was wrong for so long. When I run I get hip pain and you’ve made me realise I have a high right hip too. Gonna get to fixing it hopefully. Thanks for your content mate

[@guyplay]

I literally just came back from the doctor. I have the same thing.

[@chakhla5614]

So mate whats the update? Are you seeing any improvements?

[@sans-san1097]

This is greater than gold. Will be up all night looking over the rest of your content, but this video was very helpful.

[@sunriseeternity300]

Not scientific, and might not help everyone.... A little something i started doing that has been a bonus to these types of exercises and hip exercises is. I started eating (holding the spoon) with my left hand and started brushing my teeth with my left hand, while consciously keeping my right shoulder in a good posture position (keep the scapula back and dont overly rotate right side trunk).. This practice has helped me gain muscle mind connection and more posture correct movements with my left arm.. Good luck... Health is a great habit.

[@conorharris]

[@mileschristus8861]

​@@conorharrisHi Conor, i totally idnetify in your description of the problem, only fear of mine however, is that: throughout the years ive noticed that my right collarbone, is like 4/5th of an inch shorter than the left one (2cm), it is more compressed, it seems thicker aswell, it's angle is more aggressive, whereas the left one seems longer and straighter. Is there a fix for this (after i ofcourse manage to fix the scoliosis, that i have, together with all the muscle imbalances), or is this set in stone now? (Im 22 btw) Cuz on top of the aesthetical factor, and ofcourse the balance factor, it also gives me pain, quite a lot of it, i truly hate it. Best regards from Italy, thanks for your work.

[@tf8615]

My right shoulder is higher than the left. All my chest muscles are tight and my neck, like permanently 😢

[@dionnedettmer]

Love your content! A video on wrist tendinitis would be great! Keep up the awesome work 🙏

[@Aatell764]

Oh man this is a God send thank you for your work! It all makes a lot of sense. I noticed my left top ab appears to be popped out a little more. And I thought well it seems like my shoulder problem is a problem with my whole body rotated or something. My right hip gives me trouble aswell. I started thinking I had scoliosis or some other disorder but my spine is perfectly vertical no weird bending or anything. Then I thought it was my right collarbone that broke when I was just 3 years old and I can still feel the "heal line" or whatever you call the growth of bone around where bones are rejoined.

[@krizz4309]

THANKSSS youre video helped so much, tomorrow ill buy a resistance band ill start working this out to help my shoulder imbalance

[@jmanzo2009]

In terms of the scaline and top rib tension, I just noticed today that shifting my jaw toward that side helps.

[@irenechoo1289]

You sound very positive but these treatment s are for which side of the shoulder?

[@quartier13]

My guy PLEASE make on for the left side.

[@BrysonPrice]

I feel like I can identify with many of the postures you state in the beginning, but there's some differences. Like instead of L upper trap pain, I have it on the Right. And instead of the Right Hip being higher it's my left hip. But the L shoulder is higher and R shoulder is lower, L shoulder external rotation more limited and R shoulder internal rotation more Limited + typical AIC patterns like weak L adductor and L hamstring. Can these exercises still be applied to people who aren't 'textbook cases'?

[@Wumbology10]

Dude this sounds almost exactly like what I'm dealing with.

[@BrysonPrice]

@@Wumbology10 that’s crazy! I’ve been learning a lot about PRI the last couple months I think if Connor were to respond to my question, he’d say that these are just general guidelines and for people like us, with more complex issues, we’d have to be evaluated by someone 1 on 1 : )

[@Wumbology10]

@@BrysonPriceLikewise & yeah I'm probably going to see a physical therapist again. I know that for me, having 2 knee surgeries a few years ago didn't help & to add on once my knee mobility was getting good. I then got into a rear-end accident at work, which gave me disc herniations throughout my spine. Been a long journey, but we got this 💪🏽

[@BrysonPrice]

@@Wumbology10 oh I see, yep, just work on 1 segment at a time :D You can't go wrong starting with the hips since usually that's where knee and back pain tend to come from. But having a car accident can add in some additional complications for sure. I had a massive ankle injury in college which I never addressed so that allowed my body to form all sorts of compensations.

[@Wumbology10]

@@BrysonPrice Spot on man! I believe I have a lateral pelvic tilt, due to my body right lower body having to compensate for my left weaker side from my knee surgeries. So that's the first thing I'm going to try address, which should help alleviate some of my lumbar spine pain.

[@coachoctavian6160]

Hey Conor. My right hip is more forward than my left and I started training my left oblique, my left shoulder is also higher than the right, barely had any trunk rotation to the left, woodchoppers fixed my neck spasm, am I gonna fix this with landmine twists woodchoppers and training left oblique?

[@HappilyAnonymousGirl]

I just realized I have a severely dropped right shoulder right now… I never noticed it while looking at my front side, but I was looking at my back and it’s… extremely obvious…..

[@WayneTWparkour]

This might be a stupid question but how can I tell if it's my right shoulder that's low and not my left shoulder that's high? I tore my left rotator cuff years ago and have less mobility on that side, but the right side is my dominant side and looks to be the side that's dropped. But I'm confused because I can't tell if the rotator cuff injury that happened is causing my left shoulder to be higher or if its my more dominant side on the right that's actually lower. Also, my right foot is externally rotated as well and and my right hip is quite a bit tighter and less mobile than the left side where there is no external rotation. I did parkour for 10 years also, and any running jump or anything that required using only one foot I'd use my right foot to take off because it's my dominant side. So I was wondering if a tight right hip is causing my right shoulder to drop.

Hello Connor, great work. I watched this video and another you have on being a-symmetrical. Quick question. My right hip and shoulder are both lower than the left. Could these videos still apply to me or if not do you have one addressing that?

[@xxcrysad3000xx]

This is so informative. My right shoulder is lower than my left and my right scap wings quite a bit when I raise my arms. For a long time I had attributed this to having broken my right collar bone and one of my left ribs about 7 years ago, and muscular imbalances related to that injury. Now here I come to find out this is perhaps not so unusual and that might explain why mere working out to correct the muscular imbalance has been so ineffective (the scap winging does cause some pain occasionally so it's not just a cosmetic issue). Thank you for making these videos.

[@LambentIchor]

I've been doing callisthenics and weights for about 10 years and this almost exactly fits my situation. I started to get pain in my left heel that connects to the back of my right pelvis and becomes worse when I walk long distances. Working out makes everything better for a while; I do a lot of hanging, both active passive shoulder work. I've never some across anyone put it all together like this. Usually they focus has been on scapular winging etc. with exercises to just deal with that.

Hiiiii Connor, based on chiropractic gonstead theory both innominate have four kinds of displacement, PIIN PIEX ASIN ASEX. As I found out based on the PRI, in AIC pattern left pelvis has ASIN and the right one has PIEX and maybe people would have only this pattern if they have a pattern . The abduction and adduction tests also prove the left AIC pattern. to be honest I am a little confused because in the pelvic x-rays while the situation is explained by the chiropractor I have seen a lot left PIEX or PIIN...

[@abujunayed]

I've had uneven shoulders for a while (left shoulder higher) , somehow I put it down to always carrying my bag on my right shoulder when I was younger. Recently I've noticed I'm able to contract my erector muscles better on the right side then on the left, which makes perfect sense as to why after watching your video. Never would've thought the hips could effect the shoulders like that.
