How Your Vision Influences Your Posture and Movement: What No One Talks About.

You visual system is the biggest influence on your posture and movement. Your brain uses your vision to move you through space. Acuity in terms of 20/20 vision is not necessarily what we need. In fact, seeing better than 20/20 often restricts our movement because it makes us overfocus our eyes and drops off our peripheral vision processing. Peripheral vision is what our brain uses to position us, to posture us, in space.

My right eye was locked and stiffed and rotated internally for years. Probably from all the computer work. I didn’t how to relax it. The right side of my body was always rotated towards the midline, exactly where my right eye was pointing to. My pelvis rotated to the left and my right shoulder dropped forward and to the left. Then when I learned how to relax my right eye, all my posture issues immediately resolved itself. Also, my sports performance, athleticism, and coordination massively increased. I thought it was my right jaw tension causing my issues this whole time but it turned out it was actually my right eye. Amazing.

[@tonymew2064]

how did you learn to relax the right eye? new glasses?

[@acardinalconsideration824]

Thank you for all you do. I’m currently taking steps to resolve my misaligned jaw dysfunction after years of it having gradually caused my entire body to become asymmetrical and painful.

[@NealHallinan]

You’re welcome. One area of the brain, the superior colliculi, integrates visual, auditory and trigeminal nerve (oral cavity) input. So the jaw can influence vision and vice versa.

[@acardinalconsideration824]

@NealHallinan I remember coming across a video recently in which you described the correlation. The right side of my jaw has been back and inward while the left side has been loose and unstable(and the pattern has carried over to my shoulders and hips). My symptoms line up very well. I have a very asymmetrical face, my right eye is much wider/bigger than the left, a very deviated septum, lots of wax build up+bad hearing in right ear, etc. After finally putting some pieces together, I think my jaw issues were caused by a very bad concrete face-plant as a child (likely resulted in a jaw injury that was never properly addressed) followed up a couple years later by a few years of braces. I’m hoping that any visual issues I might have are gradually sorted as my jaw symmetry and functionality continues to improve. 🤞

[@Lareba]

You came to the right place! I just wish I would have found it sooner. It's such a relief to finally have answers. Neal is right about the importance of finding a practioner and not just trying to get it from the videos.

​@@acardinalconsideration824what are you doing to fix it?

[@actsunseen]

Yeah, when I patch my right eye it seems my jaw comes back into a more neutral alignment (instead of over to the right, using my right side of my bite to find the floor)

It's amazing how on my PRI journey as I reach a tricky point, Neal will make a video and cast light and guidance on my issue. Thanks Neal, this is so helpful.

[@Lareba]

Aha! Makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharing. This explains why I prefer to do activities with my eyes closed when it's safe to do so, like when exercising or even walking around my house. It also reminds me of getting my bite checked after a filling while inclined in the dentist chair, I tell them they need to check it while I'm sitting up, they don't agree. Probably having my bite checked while standing would be even better.

[@NealHallinan]

Yes, everything should be checked in both reclined, seated, and standing. Your bite can change depending on what position you are in. Sometimes drastically, sometimes quite minimally or not at all.

[@tanaminogarashi]

Yes I started closing my eyes while flossing and brushing my teeth, and realized how much I was craning my neck forward to see myself clearly in the mirror when I was wearing my glasses

[@thebobman69]

Hi neal, just wanted to express a huge thanks to you, and for making these videos accessable. I've been activey trying to fix myself for 3 years myself, orthough it goes back way further. And though trial and error, i made limited progress, but atleast got myself out of TOS and able to walk pain free. I chained watched your videos for maybe a month or more, oddly what really drew me to you was that in one video ( i forget which) you simple said you didn't know. Which to me says alot about your character and approach . I have been inplementing your advice, and i can honestly feel my body unraveling week by week, and different thing relaxing and turning on as the weeks go by. ( left lat, abs and groin/ right glute) And i attribute this mainly to you and your cues. I am still struggling with scapula control on my right, and occasional clicking, presummably it is actually trunk/rib control, but hey rome wasn't built in a day. Also you led me to the realisation i wasn't using my right eye. I got a eye test and orthough the prescription is the same in each eye, i really feel that i am now atleast using it. ( no idea how that works) eg i am typing this on the right side of my screen, where as i instinctively would have had it on the left or held my phone to my left eye. Anyway, i could type all day, but thanks again, and please keep the amazing work and discovery. edit: just to add one more brief annecdote, you speak about music alot, and i've notice that in the past few months, i've actually got into music (particularly funk), where as previously it would be resevred solely for the gym and been thinking about taken up bass guitar in my 30s.

Ive been dealing with tmj since I was a kid. Fell out of a hayloft on my chin and knocked myself unconcious. My body compensated and numerous random injuries later i ended up in extreme pain.

So it sounds like you found the right practitioners and incorporated all the key areas PRI focuses on…if you don’t mind me asking, how’s it going now and how long has it been?

[@rumenvichev2198]

I have noticed this myself today. I studied/played video games in my free time or watch something so I was overusing my vision. Last few weeks i have noticed that if I blur my vision drop my neck and upper back to the side I feel the tension in my back and hips released and can breathe like 4 times deeper and walk with almost no pain + also think better and feel better and have better sence of where everything in space is(Although my vision itself is blurry I feel much calmer because I am aware where I am in "space" ). I even feel my teeth get better when i breathe this way. It's amazing how much of your negative emotions and feeling come from daily forcing your body to do your bidding all the time when you should make some time up for your body to breathe the way it wants to. You kind of force your body in bad breathing positions to achieve certain goals but that only works short term cause your body gets worse and worse and you have less and less ability to keep it in a bad postion and you also recover slower from bad breathing as you age.

This!!! I’ve been saying this to my eye doctors (more than 5 different ones). I ser clearly in their room with my cylinders but when I go out it is different and the environment is making me dizzy. There is no one that believes me and I am now doing the job myself. Buying lenses and testing it on my own

[@jmoney8580]

This makes so much sense and solves the puzzle I’ve been trying to figure out for years. I have a condition called keratoconus and as a result I have to wear hard contacts to correct my vision I’ve only been wearing my right side lens for years as I thought it would suffice and I can see somewhat well out of the the one lends but as a result I’ve been subject to issues with the right side of my body pelvis leg arms etc and have been suffering from jaw issues that have been plaguing me for all these years. I’ve been to chiropractors and all sorts. To correct my issues shall I start wearing both my left and right lenses. I would greatly appreciate your input. Many thanks and GOD bless you

[@CrayFishHandMade]

Thanks you for this, this answers some unanswerable questions I have had my self lately, regards a overly stiff tight right jaw mandible static and right foot and foot arch, I have sever short sight according to my optician, and right being substantialy weaker(more in contraction) than left... and I can attain full relief in stretching and meditation. This sounds like there could be such a connection as you have just demonstrated here in your squats. Thank

[@MyoWorksABQ]

Yes! This makes so much sense to me. Every year when I go for eye exam they up my Rx even though my old glasses feel fine. I hate it, I think it's weakened my eyes, the Dr says no,no it doesn't work that way. Any tips on how to find a more functional holistic optometrist?

[@spontaneousbootay]

Maybe not related but when i meditate, eyes closed, i can relax back into a normal posture. Was in an extension pattern before

[@commentstealer4460]

Can you make more videos about ground sens ?? I lost my ground sens long ago and i think i have the same problems you have , my left eye sees well but right eye is blurry and weak , i have high arches and bad jaw alignment , so maybe yoked prisms can help?

[@22cobbie]

I had a light bulb moment while watching this video. Have you ever made a connection of our visual sense to chronic dizziness? I have PTSD and PPPD. I believe that the PTSD contributed to the chronic dizziness. You talk about our visual sense being sharpened especially when out side. I feel that my chronic dizziness is affected by my vision. It's like my vision is working overtime to keep me upright and safe. Your explanation of evolutionary reasons for this make sense that my vision would be overactive due to the PTSD and being hyper aware of my environment went outside, I was attacked by a dog and so I am hyper vigilant. Any thoughts about this? I thought it was a very interesting connection.

[@bolopho]

Interesting thoughts about vision. I do think it is important to stress that there is more than just power that effects eye sight and that undercorrected vision can also cause issues. Indoors will likely also be lower light levels than outside which would effect the power you likely require. Also small uncorrected astigmatisms cause a lot of issues in PRI programs. See recent Hruska Clinic video by Torin who talks about that even a small uncorrected astigmatism of .25 can cause lots of tension and throw out a PRI program.

[@Ab_A60]

Forget 0.25, even small changes of 0.05 astigmatism can make a huge difference. My visual system is this sensitive.

[@gharamg.h.5674]

Wow that's amazing.✨ But how about a blind person, what is really happening with their posture???

[@thebobman69]

I'd imagine for them, it would be similar to if one ear was bad, and they tilt there head to accommodate etc. But yeh, very few blind people are complete blind, and the ones that are often 'look' down

[@nightsky199]

So moral of the story, don’t get over prescribed on your contacts/lenses? When in doubt, always get the weaker, somewhat blurrier prescription if you can make it work?

[@Bernardo-mt8ho]

It just the eyes bro. We suffer from eye tension, they call it myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism but it is all about tension. William Bates in his book (Perfect Sight Without Glasses, Chapter IX) showed a clear evidence that eyeballs flatten or elongate as a mechanism of focus. I am telling this because I used to have a pop-out left side sternum, after days doing close-up reading fine print my jaw shift along my weaker eye. My weaker eye now is the same axis/level of my right eye. I felt a lot of pain throught out these process on my left pelvis, my shoulder, my neck, my knee and even in my left foot. My glutes are shrinked now, I am getting better genital function than before (erection and even a extra size of my genital). Now it's hard to close my teeth the way I used to, my left jaw is supporting my left eye properly. So the way I used to eat is also affected to. Just read Chapter IX of Perfetct Sight Without Glasses and practice, it serves even for hyperopia, Aldous Huxley did it and shift his face and body too.

[@uboobly]

Can you summarize again what you're saying and that book?

[@wonoh3427]

I truly appreciate for all the information that you are putting out on here, Neal. I have been seeing a PRI therapist in Maryland for 6 months and have seen life-changing results. THE biggest obstacle for me, still, to maintain neutrality and stabilize on my left side is the daily use of computers from my IT work. I have already been using prescribed computer glasses with prisms and it helps you be more focused on the screen. Recently, I noticed as I read content on the screen, my eyes moves from left to right and my airflow and my body, in turn, gets patterned to the right. I found that if I try to read the content from right to left, airflow goes the other way around and my tension decreases. In our opinion, do you think this can be improved by changing the prescription of reading glasses or this is something you just gotta accept as how writing systems are designed (left to right)?

[@NealHallinan]

IT work is a struggle. I talk about it all the time. I don’t have a good answer for you. I think there are backwards text generators that you can use to have some written material to read backwards which helps inhibit tension. Taking frequent breaks, walking Figure 8s and keeping aware of left periphery could help, too.

[@boater9]

@@NealHallinan Can you make a video discussing the benefits of figure 8 walking in the future? I've read that it helps integrate the left and right brain hemispheres. I stumbled on the infinity walk when trying research ways to help my son read better and with more focus. It does help him with doing close work and focus and very quickly too. Your insight on this method would be so appreciated, Neal!

Hi @NealHallinan 🙂 I am really inspired by your videos, we do read a lot of the same books - latest was the Soarnes book. Anyways, In this video you talk about the near/far sighted.. what about astigmatism . I have tried the squad test, inside and outside, and I can squad way more/easier, without my glasses outside, where inside its with less difference. Have you had any experience with astigmatism as the same as near/far sight glasses? - my strength in my near/far is (Right)- 0,25 and (left)-0,50 but my astigmatism is -1,25 on both eyes. When I got my glasses, i already had dizzyness , BUT i struggled like crazy to adapt to the glasses. It took me months... The problem is my sight is very blurry, when I dont wear my glasses now, and without them too long i get like "carsick"... Do you have any ideas? I'm waiting for behaviroal/neruo optimetrist, because the regular optimetrist is not worth a lot.. they as you say only check vision in a small room with forward head posture. Keep up the good work!

Good day Neal. Regarding vision: When you are not wearing your glasses or contacts, do you fall back in to faulty patterning? I am looking into prisms as I am noticing the positive effects of my PRI program are fleeting and full of ups and downs. Do prisms genuinely teach the brain how to process the two images, or does one fall back into a faulty patterning when the glasses come off? Thanks for your video.

[@JRESHOW]

No way. I had to get a new pair of glasses, and the place wouldn’t let me without a new prescription. I got my new prescription and it messed with me so bad. Went back got rechecked 2 more time, 2 more prescriptions and finally I was like screw it and kept wearing them. They’ve been messing with me for months and this is probably why.

[@loadedmango387]

i was born with a L “lazy” eye and did lots of therapy to have it strengthened out. no surgery. as an adult, with thankfully pretty good vision. i’ve been given two different prescription glasses over the years but i can’t wear them, my eyes start to ache, i get headaches and feel motion sick. (i’ve always had issues with car sickness since birth). i’m noticing my depth getting blurry lately and been thinking about seeing an eye doctor again but i am concerned i will feel sick and waste my money on something i’ll refuse to use. i also know i can’t just do this my whole life, i will eventually need glasses! i also get 2-3 bouts of neck pain at c6-t1 that spasms so badly i have to call off work a few days. i corrected my teeth two years ago hoping it would help fix my issues i’m a physical therapist assistant of 12 years so i do many corrective exercises for my neck but considering i always “relapse”, i feel like i’m missing something i’m busy environments or when i am in deep focus, people can call my name and i will not hear them at all, always been like that

[@NealHallinan]

Well, if you still have a true visual issue, it will undoubtedly cause your neck/head to move forward. All the corrective exercises in the world won't change that, because the forward head posture will be due to spatial awareness/processing. Perhaps you need to see more of a specialist, like a Behavioral Optometrist?

[@sunnyco6325]

Thank you thank you thank you! What about if you have astigmatism? The body being out of alignment has to be affecting the shape of the eyes?

[@NealHallinan]

That is possible, yes, and that was what I was thinking. Astigmatism can be thought of as “scoliosis of the eyeball” and that can be caused by compression forces in the cranium, which can be influenced by body position, and neck tension. Personally I have 1.25 astigmatism in my left eye, but I don’t correct it. It makes my head tilt if it’s corrected. If the astigmatism is high, over 1.5, that may make clarity more of an issue, so that has to be discussed with an optometrist.

[@sunnyco6325]

I had lasik correction in 2001. It corrected my vision and astigmatism till just recently. My reading vision has been bad for quite some time but the astigmatism has returned although only slightly. Hopefully with a conscious effort in body alignment, thanks to your help, it can be minimized from where I was originally before my surgery.

[@ArticulateArena]

I got my furthest back upper left tooth removed because a molar grew in and kept breaking it, getting it infected. ever since my left eye has never been the same and it looks droopy. the molar now fills that gap completely and my teeth all have gaps now. is there any way to fix this? i also have forward head and other issues that I never had before this. my neck used to be long and upright, with all the muscles and everything you'd want your neck to look like ( used to be a model ). Now I just dont' even like going in public because people literally ask me about my neck and posture... there has to be a fix, right? I also have kind of like blurred vision because my eyes won't focus properly anymore. I still have decent vision but it feels like my left eye is either too strained or numb at times... it's hard to describe :/

I developed vision snow 4 months ago, i have noticed my head is very forward , now im trying to figure out how to get it corrected

[@johnny5.56]

My left is practically blind and glasses can't help. It's frustrating how it affects my body

[@tanaminogarashi]

Also depending on the size of your frames/lenses and how your glasses sit on your face, not to mention the refraction created by lenses and their distortion of the peripheral vision the stronger the prescription - how you perceive “space” and objects around you can be totally different than if you were to be experiencing reality with the naked eye. For example, I was wiping down a pan yesterday on the stovetop and was realizing I was bending my neck to be able to see what I was doing clearly. Then I took off my glasses and realized that that was quite unnatural, and instead tried to “feel” the ergonomically correct posture, which was totally different. I could do it standing upright, and look down at the pan with a small curl of my head downwards instead of lurching forward with my body to see clearly

[@tanaminogarashi]

To expand on this, I’ve worn glasses since the age of 4. I imagine that, perhaps the way my body has grown could have adapted to how I experienced the world through glasses. For example I have small jaws and had to get extractions that causes bone loss. I wonder, if I had had more ergonomic and spatial awareness as a kid as how my glasses were affecting my posture and how I related to space, if my body would have developed differently, if my jaws might have even developed differently

Neal, does this mean that increased sensory input via increased acuity results in compromised movement patterns? Am I in the correct line of thought?

Yes, that is what I am saying can *potentially* occur, and have seen with plenty of clients. As you focus in the distance, past 20/20, you won’t process peripheral vision as much. Peripheral vision, and the sense of optic-peripheral “flow” (the environment moving past us as we move through it) is what our brain uses to locate us in space.

I have noticed the exact same thing and then the one that measures your eyes and sells glasses tells you your eyes have to get accustomed to the glasses. I strongly disagree.

But such a discussion is a lost battle as I don't know the reasoning behind it that you share here.

[@NealHallinan]

Yes, people in an FHP are in fight or flight to one degree or another.

[@PabloB888]

What you're saying only applies to those people who need to wear glasses to see perfectly. The thing is, when people wear prescription lenses, their eye muscles tense and begin to pull on the suboccipitals (neck muscles). When the neck muscles are pulled and getting shorter, then every muscle in the back is also pulled, resulting in restricted movement of entire body. However, normal people don't need a prescription to see perfectly (20/15), and without strained eye muscle their body movement remains unrestricted.

[@jmoney8580]

@@NealHallinan I dont know if you believe in mediumship, but the closer I have been to releasing my pattern I start to sense this surge of magnetic energy going to my body and trying to go to my throat . A super crazy feeling and am like , what if it was this all along. Cause for me my pain came out of nowhere

[@jackiek4159]

Neal, do you know of any PRI dentists or professionals here in Melbourne, Australia? I am currently looking for one as a chiropractor has put my whole body and jaw out of alignment. Any help would be appreciated! 🙏🏻💕✨

[@lorrainegatanianhits8331]

I no joke think that the slight asymmetry of my cranium has to do with how my long hair tended to get into the way of my eyes on one side and not on the other, bcs of my assymetric hair parting. My hair would obstruct some of my vision on only one side, so it helped if I slightly tilted my head. I'm not saying my hair caused this, maybe it's just something that reinforced a tendecy I had before getting longer hair. Tomorrow I'm looking at old pictures of me to see when my cranial asymmetry started.

Hi Neal, do you work with Ehlers Danlos patients at all? My ability to hold myself upright just keeps getting worse. I havent had much luck with physical therapy and I feel like its because I cant seem to figure out where neutral alignment is, I cant activate my core, and it seems my diaphragm is completely turned off. I feel like i will never get anywhere with physical therapy if I cant figure out these basics first. I have also been diagnosed wiith craniocervical instability and have completely lost my cervical curve. Would PRI be appropriate for someone with Ehlers Danlos? And could it also help correct the cervical curve?

Hey Neal. I am 17 years old and I have a lazy right eye. In my last eye check up, the doctor after examination found that the nervous connections in my right eye hadn't even properly formed. Moreover, my right side albeit dominant is less flexible and has less sensitivity. The teeth on my right side jaw are also crooked and its difficult for me to gain muscle on the right side even though it is the dominant side. My vody also puts more pressure on my left foot and hips due to asymmetry and so my left foot is pronated and right is supinated. Is there anything I could do to fix this? Pls reply

[@ate317]

Thoughts on curve correction therapy for restoration of lordosis in cervical spine?

[@NealHallinan]

Loss of the cervical lordosis is usually driven by pelvic instability and the resulting neck breathing (most normal scenario that Postural Restoration addresses). Or it can be driven by the sensory system: vision/teeth/jaw/hearing. Trying to correct the curve without addressing what is driving it won't do much and may cause more problems.

[@ate317]

@@NealHallinan interesting. There is a type of practice called chiropractic biophysics which uses traction and postural exercises to bring the spine in alignment and they show before and after images of the spine improving its curvature with what appears to be significant improvements.

[@StarHarvestOfficial]

Could this be why there is a correlation between neck issue and Visual Snow Syndrome?

[@NealHallinan]

It's certainly possible. If visual snow is an autonomic nervous system issue, and necks are autonomic "appendages".

[@mindfulmomentswithColm]

interesting, very interesting. I've thought about that how our brain may have developed sensory input searching nature/forest for fruit (bright colours). tony wright has some insight into how the left brain is overly dominant today.

my vision improved after one and half month of collection berries in accord system (moving fast for money) not sure if because of: - so long focus on these berries starting differentiating new colour shades through constant exposure and under stress/mental mobilisation - or because of moving body, running from bush to bush, for hours training posture with a bit bent knees, balancing in all directions - or because of my exercise during lunch break of laying down with a bit elevated legs, breathing regularly, slowly with diafragm to point of total relaxation and body getting all comfortably numb, activating vagus nerve im slightly colourblind, failing this test of numbers in colourful dots, piecing puzzles has the same result but only when done in good day lightning and regularly or intensely enough i refuse to use glasses and will never use them, I want to regain healthy eyesight and protesis is blocking it making body comfortable in unnatural unbalanced state, im stubborn what makes things harder but staying curiosity pays back with strong new good habits like watching everything here and using it

[@Yuna_5067]

What are you saying? Collecting berries? Huh?

[@mizgermizger4922]

And what happened to your astigmatism? Do you have a correction? (I can't stand cylinder glasses for some reason.)

[@NealHallinan]

I don’t correct the astigmatism anymore. It was creating tension. It’s low enough to not make a difference for me.

buongiorno, mi chiamo Natale, vivo in Italia, soffro di problemi posturali, malocclusioni e oculari, uso plantari propriocettivi e mi sono sottoposto a terapia per sistemare l'occlusione senza ottenere risultati evidenti, vorrei provare a cambiare gli occhiali, a chi posso rivolgermi?

Non human animals; meaning animals right. Eliminate the woke b.s. please.

[@tsurutom]

No, he means non-human animals. It's very important, especially in this context, to often remind ourselves of our animal-ness. Broaden your horizon, friend.

[@radfaraf]

Facts are woke everyone make sure you don't learn anything!

[@NealHallinan]

I quoted a book that I didn’t write. Your anger is misplaced.

[@gharamg.h.5674]

Wow that's amazing.✨ But how about a blind person, what is really happening with their posture???

[@NealHallinan]

I don’t know what happens with people that are blind. They probably use other senses to help their brain locate themselves.
