Lateral Pelvic Tilt and the Right Adductor

[@user-fe6hb7hu3l]

I just can't describe how important what you do is. This should be seen by millions of people, all who are older than 30-35 suffer from pain in one way or another. Thank you so much, Neal!

[@beactivelifestyle]

im 17 and have a bit of pain,and i know people younger than me having pain

[@masterfrank007]

I've been wondering for years, probably a decade or more, on how to fix my lower right back/hip and tight right glute. I've recently learned about lateral pelvic tilt last week and been watching more videos. All the symptoms mentioned are exactly the ones I feel. This video helped provide some mega relief immediately. OMG! I can't believe it! thanks so much!

[@vaseabunc3589]

Have you found something that helped ?Having the same problem

[@thomas2081]

This is probably one of the most important notions of PRI. Muscles get tight for a reason- unnatural positioning of you pelvis, ribcage, etc. Thank you Neal. Out of all approaches l have tried, PRI is the best by far. I am still searching for that 'deep' connection with facia though.....

[@salvadorgarcia8823]

For years I've been trying to figure out why I have certain aches and pains. And why despite my best efforts, I couldn't seem to perfect my form at the gym. I figured they were all connected somehow. So I came to wonder if it was a hip problem and then I stumbled upon your videos. I can't believe something as simple as a paper towel under my arch could make all the difference. Thank you soo much!

[@ryanwolfeluveralways]

THIS LITERALLY JUST HELPED ME!! I felt it release!

[@TeoFurlong]

I did this once and it now i can feel my right arch ! Did the pr exercises afterwards and felt better than ever Thank you !!

[@csdiesel]

Thank you Neal, im really grateful for your content. Its very intuitive and has helped me with my body.

[@NealHallinan]

You're quite welcome. Thanks for the comment! Comments always make videos look more "important" to KZbin so more people end up seeing it.

[@india6039]

One of your best segments. Best explanation.

[@cmruiz21]

I have a tight right abductor; however, my left foot is the one supinated and my right pronated. a lot of the things you say resonate with my postural issues, but others contradict it. I am sure that not all problems are straight forward.

[@alxcross1850]

Holy Smoke, this is possibly the most brilliant video on this topic. Thank you Neal! I also think that using the gas pedal constantly with our right foot also plays a role in the tightness of the right adductor

[@NealHallinan]

It could contribute yes. My guess is that the main issues is the position of the pelvis itself (left AIC pattern). Once a pelvis is neutral and stable, the right leg no longer has to "live" in a compensatory position that causes the right adductor to be overused.

[@prienfrancais437]

If you drive an automatic transmission and do a lot of city-driving with a lot of stop/start driving, you might consider trying a manual gear-shift. Left pedal for de-clutching. Most European cars are like this. Could even things out a bit? Just a thought.

[@Anvita444]

This helped me get back onto my left side. Got stuck on right side after spending 3-4 hrs/day for 4 days at golf course.

[@primet2830]

I'm not a fan fo self diagnosing myself but I've watched a couple of videos and I'm convinced I have a right AIC pattern. My left QL and adductor are chronically tight. It's also my left hamstring that ends up cramping on single leg exercises. My right piriformis is also the one that's extremely tight and I feel a bit more duck footed on that leg as well.

[@NealHallinan]

If you think you are a right AIC pattern, then nothing I say can help you. There is an entire institute (PRI) that is built on the fact that you are a left AIC and not a right AIC. Everything you say is normal in the left AIC pattern. It just depends on how your brain chooses to compensate for the pattern.

[@kittenheels1958]

You are very very helpful.

[@NealHallinan]

Thanks, Catalina.

[@TenzarkProductions]

I'm so grateful to have found you & your content. This is exactly what I needed. About the arch stimulation, my left leg is the one that feels stiff and heavier than my right leg. The tfl is also much larger than my right. My right leg feels like it's more in front than my left leg. Which foot needs the arch stimulation?

[@ASRmann]

Invaluable information. Thank you !

You're welcome.

[@markwisniewski8141]

I wear my right shoe on the outside. Does this have relation or now? When I squat all the way down I feel impingement on that side and that right side is “hiked” up. Gluteus medius exercises have significantly helped with right QL and SI joint pain. But I haven’t been able to clear it. Great info! No one out there explaining it like you. Thx.

[@Mereship]

How are you doing now? I’ve been working on my right Glute Med and max a lot. I’m slightly better with some of these pri exercises too.

[@thearchitekt5299]

Watched all of your videos in the past few days and it’s all great information! What started as just QL tightness on my right side and some hip/adductor discomfort has turned into quite a bit of upper back tightness and neck pain as well for me. My right hip is higher than the left and I just feel “off” when walking or doing certain movements right now. I’ve tried the 90/90 hip lift and the paper towel under right arch to try to get my pelvis to shift and right side to turn off but I can’t seem to get it to budge.. any suggestions on what else to do to get it to shift? Thanks Neal, and great info as always!

[@NealHallinan]

Hi Drew. It's hard to know what the issue can be without working directly with you. There is also potentially a strong upper body (ribcage, neck/head) influence upon all this. Have you tried the other exercises on this page: pritrainer.com/pri-left-aic-right-bc-beginner-example-program/ I also offer on-line consultations. You can e-mail me at [e-mail] if interested.

hello 👋 thank you for posting your experience its really amazing how the brain works. i have a chronic injury in my right foot and obliged to wear custom made orthotics with arch supports and metatarsal pads. whenever i wear them , i feel ok for a month than problems with my left foot starts to happen , tight hamstrings, tight calves and lots of pain in the bottom. especially when i do single leg exercise or try to do some stationary biking. i have not seen all your videos yet but i m starting to connect the dots . i think i will start the 4 exercises soon, i have seen many doctors 🥼 and paid a fortune on. orthotics in vain i hope 🤞 they will help i m in terrible pain . thank you 🙏 again for sharing i appreciate your reply on my case

[@NealHallinan]

Orthotics by themselves won't do much if they aren't integrated with total body movement and stability/breathing. So PRI would be a good option. My beginner program is just a starting point.

[@simplementelena3726]

Hi! I'm 20. My scoliosis appeared when i was 15. I sprained kneecap. I wore a leg brace and the thigh four leg muscle disappeared. I was afraid to rest the weight on one leg, I did not maintain posture and sat down askew. I regained my health when I started going to the gym during physical education lessons. A year later the orthopedist embraces my scoliosis and said that I can't do anything about it because I don't grow. Unfortunately, I think he was wrong because since then I have grown and my pelvis has widened considerably. I have twisted, rotated to the right pelvic and ribs. It is possible to improve their location?

[@patty2049]

Thanks so much. So you put it flat under your right foot or wad up in the arch?

[@Kyptonite]

Hi Neal, your videos have been a godsend. I have one question. My left quad (rectus femoris) got really tight after months of walking around stuck in the left AIC pattern, so I'm walking around essentially limping with that left knee locked. I'm now doing the 90/90 hip shifts, and finally getting the hang of doing them properly, so I'm wondering if I need to stretch/release that rectus femoris manually, or if the pelvis returning to the neutral position will initiate that on its own. Thanks!

[@NealHallinan]

Great question. Generally you don't have to stretch or manually release the rectus femoris. It *should* relax because the position of the pelvis changes. But some people do benefit from some stretching of the left quad. As you do the exercise, make sure your left foot is flat on the wall but your attention is focused on "sensing" your left heel.

[@dianagallagher9434]

So my left pelvis is rotated more forward and my right side is back but seems overactive. It’s the left adductor that is incredibly tight!! So would I put the paper towel under my left foot then? Or my right foot since my right glute is more overactive and tighter?

[@ilbomba530]

thanks Neal. I have a problem with my left piriformis when I´m stuck. he really hurts. is it because the left glutei are underactive and the left piriformis tries to stabilize me?

[@NealHallinan]

That is one possible scenario. It could also be overactive as an external rotator of the left leg. When a pelvis is oriented to the right, the left leg usually externally rotates so we can walk straight. The piriformis is put into a shortened position and becomes overactive to maintain that external rotation. While stretching doesn't usually help most things, stretching a left piriformis is often necessary.

Hello Neal question I been suffering from left side QL and oblique problems for a few years but before that I used to have right adductor tightness so I’m confused

[@NealHallinan]

The right adductor holds your pelvis to the right and it stresses out the left QL and obliques.

[@paul-ie]

Doesn't doing left adductor pullback turn off the right adductor?

[@schminke89]

If your right adductor doesn't let go you have no chance of accessing the left adductor in the pullback and propably compensate through the tfl/Back etc.

Hi Neal, Sorry I know I’ve been posting a lot of questions. Would it be okay to just buy like a shoe insert for my medial arch? Or maybe can you make a video on how exactly I should put the paper towel? Should it folded a certain way or something?

[@NealHallinan]

No worries, I welcome the comments and questions. You really don't need a shoe arch. It really is as simple as folding up a paper towel and placing it under your arch. I always thought it must be done is some complex or special way, but it's only there for your brain to "sense" it, to "feel" it. You could literally use a piece of tissue. It doesn't matter, your brain just has to notice it. Our nervous system/feet are exquisitely sensitive. It's like when a small piece of food is caught between your teeth, or some sand in your shoe.....you know it's there!

[@Izzyrodriguez2011]

Neal Hallinan ohh ok! Thank you! And should it be placed more towards the medial part of my foot where the arch or in the middle between the arch and lateral part of my foot?

[@NealHallinan]

The medial arch. Where the open space is. Just like where the arch of the insole of your sneaker would touch your arch Like in this picture .instagram.com/p/Bwnp-wSnXw6/?

[@user3657]

I just take a paper towel and fold it some so it's thick. It's about one inch wide and I make it 3or 4 inches long to cover the arch. I put right where the high arch starts. It really works. After a day of work I came home and kicked off my shoes and my right foot was pronating more then my left! It's amazing.

[@Randude14]

Hi Neal. I seem to have the opposite situation. My pelvis is being shifted to the left due to my right side being weak for months because of a disc bulge. The bulge has been gone for a while but I'm still having trouble trying to fix my pelvic tilt. I notice my left adductors are tighter than my right which is causing my left gluteus medius to over activate and the left side of my back to try to stabilize my pelvis. This has been causing some nasty low back pain. Should I try to stabilize my hip by strengthening my hip adductors on the right side?

[@Johndoe-yr3ne]

How did you fix the bulging disc?

[@yashpaul7665]

If someone predominantly stands on their left leg, what are the effects on the right side? In my case, my right QL is overactive and so much stronger, tighter. Right pec, shoulder and neck pulled forward. Right adductor , tfl, glute muscles really tight. Right foot rotated outwards and flat. Thoughts?

[@mogbob7336]

Hâve you tried to find a PRI trainer to work with? Do it if you can. I wish I had one in my country. It’s somewhat confusing, but it is possible to be standing on your left foot but not actually to be in left stance. This is the left AIC pattern. It’s unbelievably common This can happen when our body is using other muscles in compensation. There are many potential underlying causes for why our bodies may begin to use compensatory measures. I recommend you take a look at Neal’s website. Read and re-read everything. And binge-watch his you-tube channel. It’s a lot to get one’s head around, but it’s not an exaggeration to say that you’ll be learning the ultimate life skill. I can walk properly upright, straight and pain-free for the first time in years. It’s all thanks to Ron Hruska, the PRI and to Neal’s website which I came across 7 weeks ago. Good luck.

[@marisavalentini5804]

I have really tight left adductor..pain left lumbar side and left knee....?

[@NealHallinan]

My guess is that the adductor is stressed because you are never fully getting your bodyweight to the left. It keeps trying to pull your pelvis over to the left but the Left AIC pattern prevents it from occurring.

[@Baldilokz]

Hi Neal. My pelvis is orientated to the left. Tightness in right piriformis/glute. Maybe slight right hip extension. My foot seems to collapse more on my right side, but do you think that is because my right leg is externally rotated in relation to my pelvis. In this case would you reccomend putting the paper towel/insert into my left shoe?.

[@NealHallinan]

I'd recommend watching this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn2XpJaim7qpjas I would not recommend putting paper towel under the left arch, but it's too complicated to explain. It took me years to understand why. My guess is that you are probably PEC-ish.

[@laurenbeall5819]

Is it possible that a weak right adductor could create a super tight psoas on the same side?

[@NealHallinan]

Yes, that can be possible. But the right glute will be very weak also. And, if the right adductor is weak, so will be the adductor on the left side (and left hamstring, anterior glute medius).

[@Athan.M]

I went to a chiropractor because my right adductor is always tight and tells me that i have functional leg length discrepancy and my right leg is longer. He had me manipulation on my legs hips back and neck. Now the legs is ok but im my right adductor doesnt change anything. What do you think?

[@NealHallinan]

Right adductors are tight when the body never shifts to the left appropriately (left AIC pattern). Your brain needs to sense pronation of the right foot (I have lots of videos about that) which activates the right glute, and you need to learn how to rotate your body to the left and stabilize on the left side. Basically my entire channel is dedicated to that scenario. I'd suggest finding a PRI provider to help.

I struggle to comprehend the thing with the right arch. My right foot is my pronated one, does that mean I cant sense my arch? I don't get it... Does a normal arch sense the ground? I thought it was not suppose to.

[@NealHallinan]

Not everyone needs this. It's more for when people sense their bodyweight on the outside of their right foot. If you are already pronated, it's probably not for you. But yes, arches have to sense the ground otherwise the brain doesn't know how to organize muscle function appropriately.

@@NealHallinan wait so that’s what you meant in one of your videos when you mentioned that no one is always going to be neutral

I have this "shifted to the right" feeling since many years...but you mention the right adductors etc .. i wonder why my LEFT adductor is really tight...even my left sternocm , quadratus L, left gluteus medius, left shoulder...a d the feeling of a collapsed left foot Cant find a way out of my misery as all i hear is the opposite of what i have. Please is there any advice u can share?😣 btw..my twinsister suffers from the same pain

[@NealHallinan]

Pain and tension can be on either side. The right side is usually painful due to "compression" while the left side is usually painful due to "tension". Where do you live?

@@NealHallinan hi and thanks a lot!! ! Iam from Austria/Vienna ....no one seem to do postural restoration over here😣 iam a massagetherapist myself...and for many years i cant seem to find someone to help me. So iam tryin to find out on my own....its so frustrating as iam workin 7days/week on my movement pattern. I must say that i was into Bodybuilding for about 18years and every day on the bicycle(25years) After all i changed my training routine to mobility and Handstands 4months ago , because after all this years i started havin serious cramps and 24/7 pain +the shift got out of control. Iam in agony from left toe aaall the way up to my left neck .

[@ericsalinas1839]

I have it on the left side where my left foot supinates.

[@NealHallinan]

That's not the normal position that you find, which simply means that there are extra layers of compensation going on. My left foot was actually more supinated than my right. It happens frequently enough, but like I wrote, it indicates a higher level of compensation going on (in my opinion and experience).

[@ericsalinas1839]

@@NealHallinan I agree, spent the last couple of months trying to figure it out and my chiro doesn't have a clue.

[@quintessential5145]

So your advice is to just place a paper towel under the medial arch so a to give the brain sensory information that its there?..

[@NealHallinan]

Yes. But this is for the specific scenario of someone who is feeling their weight to the outside of their right foot. Doesn't apply to everyone

[@quintessential5145]

@@NealHallinan ever since I visited a PRI therapist in London, he put my weight on my heels. Before my weight was on my mid arch level.

[@NealHallinan]

@@quintessential5145 if you are neutral, then the heels are good , particularly the left heel. This is for people who aren't neutral at their pelvis.

Hello Neal,i am not in usa so i can't come to PRI,i am having an issue for a long time which affects my life, when i walk i use my right leg mostly,glute and hamstring is tight aswell on the right side same as ql,left leg going out and glute on left side is barely used,only if i hold my left leg straight,this started 2 months ago and i dont know what to do,i feel like left leg is shorter.

Watch my playlist "Introduction to Postural Restoration: the Patterns" and then you can try the exercises on this page:pritrainer.com/pri-left-aic-right-bc-beginner-example-program/

[@dovlarino3109]

@@NealHallinan does it sound like lateral pelvic tilt? When i walk i feel like left like shorter and kinda doesnt 'fit' as right one i noticed i mostly use my right leg where buttock is tight and inner thigh.

[@NealHallinan]

@@dovlarino3109 yes. You're describing the Left AIC pattern which is what causes the lateral pelvic tilt.

[@dovlarino3109]

@@NealHallinan i read somewhere that its harder if you have neck pain while breathing and thats harder to fix this issue.. I am sorry for disturbing you or annoying but is there anything i can do..

[@NealHallinan]

@@dovlarino3109 All I can suggest is you watch all my videos and try the exercises I linked to earlier.

[@aliali-bd7yg]

Wait so how do I know if I have a pelvic tilt on the right or left?

[@NealHallinan]

It doesn't matter. I suggest you watch all the lateral pelvic tilt videos.

[@johnsmith-yv7rp]

Wait, you put a paper wedge in your shoe? Or you just simply put paper under your barefoot for like 10 mins type thing? I'm confused - thanks

[@NealHallinan]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYqtmKeMrreDidU It's short term, to show people they need a shoe with an arch (if they need one).

Hi dr neal. left hip height and left shoulder height =does this make sense? When i walk my right knee moves inward (inside)! I think i have a high left side with right pelvis rotation (the left side interior pelvis tilt ) What sould i do?

[@NealHallinan]

I don't understand what you mean by "left hip height and left shoulder height =" I would recommend watching as many videos as you can, especially about the Left AIC pattern, the right BC pattern. Then you can try the exercises on this page. Without examining you I can't know exactly what you should do. pritrainer.com/pri-left-aic-right-bc-beginner-example-program/

@@NealHallinan i have a lateral pelvis tilt ,my left hip is higher than right and left shoulder is higher than right
