My brain was ignoring my right eye since atleast 2017 and after chiropractic adjustments it briefly fixes it, doing exercises from optometrist or even physio pulled so many muscles which ultimately had chain reactions and threw out my right hip shoulder and pelvis tilt with rotation. I’ve seen an osteopath 3x now plus coincided with finding your vids.. I haven’t been using my left heel because I have a bone spur under it, I learned about it over 20 yrs ago and did take some homeopathic tissue salts whenever it became too sore, but realised I’ve been overcompensating my flex on left foot to outer heel to small digits rather than whole heel to big toe, which is mind blowing and May not have even noticed had I not found you on here. So I’ve consciously walked properly since, and it hurts lol but anyway now my brains ignoring my left eye and my glasses are seemingly useless now 🤷🏻‍♀️ but this concept is fascinating. I’ve been down so many expensive non fruitful paths with optometrists, ENT’s, Specialist Dentist, physiotherapists and chiropractors… no one has connected the dots to me until your videos and this new osteopath. Our whole medical system needs restructuring!

[@tyr389]

Yes me kinda same

[@Fillet_O_Chris]

Same here, and I’m seeing a PRI therapist an hour away from me and have been for months. I feel like if I lived in Neal’s area and was able to see him I would have gotten better by now, or at least stood a better chance. The PRI PT I’m seeing has not once tested (idk if she even knows how to) if dental, vision or feet is ruining my sensory input, because these PRI exercises are not really doing anything for me. Establishing left AFIR seems impossible.

[@uboobly]

They don't typically measure the orientation of the pelvis pri, they assume it is a "flat turn" clockwise which it always is at first in the left AIC pattern, but there's further compensations that can go beyond that I would go to Conor Harris comprehensive guide to lateral pelvic tilt and learn how to test yourself and see where your pelvis is in space. It might be pure L AIC, or beyond. I was not getting relief from PRI. At some point people cross into secondary and third-degree compensations Beyond L AIC, t and it's true there might be a sensory problem. But knowing your own pelvis orientation I would take into your own hands. I would evaluate the orientation of your pelvis for self and check out that page

[@martchella]

[@surajpandey4158]

Similar situation here. We have no pri trainer here so i think i'll have to live with this my whole life

[@brettschulte3845]

As a PT with continuing education in pri the biggest problem with pri is people thinking they understand it. It’s truly all neuro/sensory. That being said my own personal experience has been challenging even Dan houglam called me a unicorn based on special tests. Ultimately I will probably need your help. You rock Neil!

[@NealHallinan]

Ah, yes, the unicorn (but not in a good way). My neck cervical lateral flexion limitation is always to the left, rather than the right🤷‍♂️. Some of us “break the rules” and it’s hard to know exactly why. But “sensory” is surely the better explanation than biomechanics. I’m always hopeful that people who claim they are doing PRI inside some online coaching group are simply naive, rather than malicious individuals trying to make a buck. If you need some help in the future (or just some perspective), email me.

[@brettschulte3845]

Thanks Neal, will do! I’m certain it’s not malicious, I think it’s mostly short-sighted…”knowing just enough to be dangerous.”

Thank you Neal you are such a legend! I thought I'd share I've finished my expansion process and now working on shifting my teeth to the left. Right canine is so lonely 🤣 so just trying to awkwardly give it some action before it gets a chance to move down. I feel pretty good for the most part with my body but my left hip is typical. It will be amazing to see what happens when the teeth are all done. Thank you for being amazing and helping influence others like myself to go down this route. If more professionals would look at everything from a sensory perspective, I think so many problems would be solved quicker! 4 months into vision therapy for something similar to you, palate expansion and learning how sensory work is key, is a world of a difference! Keep up the great work 🙌🙏❤️

[@NealHallinan]

Oh, wow. Vision and oral cavity issues are often found together (certainly in my case they were). I did some expansion but I’m not sure whether I am going to try and straighten everything. Hope you stay feeling pretty good.

[@CelindaBelle]

@@NealHallinan Thanks for your response back and yes I'm aware that they are related and it is very interesting! It's hard for me to tell sometimes if I'm progressing with vision therapy or if it was because of the teeth realignment lol. I'm not doing this for the sake of keeping the teeth straight but just to get them to line up accordingly because they were not making the correct contact points. I'll never know the truth of the eyes are improving due to vision therapy or if it's the jaw lol but I don't regret doing the vision therapy because it's actually made me realize how to think about using my eyes in ways I never thought. Also, it makes me think that maybe I'll end up having good vision for longer as I age because I really understand how to use the eye muscles now lol. So at least there's some pros regarding that! 🤪

Hi Neal, this video is spot on for what I have been experiencing. I am one of those cases that puts pressure on the left canine, and it has caused me toothache for about 10 years. I learned about PRI about a year ago and have been doing online videos. I finally went to a PRI specialist, and they saw everything you described in this video. They recommended getting a orthodontic retainer to allow the pressure to be at the molars and balanced. Since I didn't hear you talk about that option in this video, I am curious about your opinion on such retainers. It would be much appreciated!!

[@NealHallinan]

They are probably referring to a mandibular splint, rather than a retainer. They work.

[@Trust-in-Balance]

Okay, I have watched a lot of your videos and I get that you say "You are not in the right AIC", but based on the information in this video-- I am. I have a hypermobility disorder and got my jaw dislocated when I was a kid causing my jaw to sit too far to the left. While sleeping, I have ground my right canine to nothing because of my jaw trying to get to the right. My left foot is supinated and my right is pronated. My left rib will not move at all--right side over inflates. I cannot sense most things on my right side--including moving facial muscles. Can you PLEASE do some videos for the people who do not fit the pattern? I know you don't think we exist, but we do.

[@Wellwhadayaknow]

I knew I couldn't be the only one. I had upper and lower jaw surgery when I was 21. Right side of my jaw still is too short and never developed properly. I am right handed but all senses are stronger on my left side. Left eye dominant, left leg dominate, I pronate on my right foot, breathe mainly through left nostril. Doesn't feel or sound like I'm in a left AIC pattern, sounds like the opposite? I'm just confused.

[@nickp9742]

I don't know the technicality of left AIC, but i would assume trauma can certainly induce right AIC-like positions? In this case, it would seem like the opposite movements would be beneficial? For instance I have a higher L iliac crest, greater IR on L side, greater ER on R, and noticed greater sensation on R molars. This seems exactly opposite to the left AIC. Ive had this asymmetry for 10-15 years so just now delving into some of the mechanics to see if this can change.

Keep up the great work, brother!

[@NealHallinan]

Thanks, Josh. I am not familiar with P DTR. In general, lots of things can help, but in my humble opinion the main stumbling block is the fact that other modalities simply don't recognize the "left hemisphere/right side dominance" pattern that is the foundation of human existence. Our right and left sides simply aren't the same and can't be treated the same way.

Hi I have the right torsion pattern Do you think I should be doing orthodontics to straighten my teeth first and then doing pri exercises?

[@dp2404]

I understand you say right ACI pattern rarely occurs. But what if on top of all the simptoms and visual body misalignments, also the cat scan confirms that my lower vertebras are twisted to the left? Can I conclude that I am that rare occurance of right AIC pattern?

[@NealHallinan]

Good question. When the spine is overall “oriented” to the right, there will be segments of the lumbar spine that are in a leftward rotational state. There are always rotations and counter rotations at various levels of the spine, otherwise we’d fall over. The left AIC pattern is really describing the fact that we have a bigger right diaphragm and a sensory system that “prefers” the right side. Some people have injuries/instabilities/scoliosis that put their lumbar spine to the left, but it’s considered “pathological”. the same underlying asymmetrical brain and respiratory system are still there, though, even though the spine seems to be “breaking the rules”. It’s not that common though.

[@dp2404]

@NealHallinan thanks for your answer! Yes, for sure. Mine is a pathological case and I have had chronic pain for 10+ years. I am shocked that your videos describe by problem and my pain so precisely.... only mine is mirrored. I am trying to do the exercises you propose but on the right side, just as a test. And I do get relief. I think it's not a bad idea to train my right leg to rotate inward and my right hip to move back. I will keep watching and learning, thanks 🙏

[@Hopelessscore]

I have right torsion but since I have a cant I feel better molar contact on the left because the right side of my teeth are higher. Would a splint fix this? I still can chew on my right side just not as good also my vision in my left eye is better.

[@HumanBodyMaintenance]

@nealhallinan is it normal for muscles in hips to be very sore after doing pelvic repositioning pri exercises?

[@NealHallinan]

It can happen. But too much soreness may indicates that those muscles are working way too hard due to resistance/tension coming from elsewhere in the body. But you need a therapist to identify where that restriction is coming from.

[@HumanBodyMaintenance]

@@NealHallinan your left adductor pullback exercise helped almost immediately. I was wondering is it the chicken or the egg. Are muscles tight because of poor bone positioning or are bones out of alignment because muscles are tight, knotted and scar tissued up?

@@HumanBodyMaintenance It is a “neurological” situation. The “patterns” are brain driven. The brain says “I want you in this position”…for some reason that we have to get to the bottom of.

I would highly suggest first ensuring 100% that you don’t have a physical leg length discrepancy before you go on the PRI journey. Scannograms, full-length standing X-rays, aid in measuring the leg length discrepancy as well as measuring spinal curvatures. Once it’s determined if you have a functional discrepancy or a physical one, only then It would make sense to go in depth with PRI and by that I mean extra devices like glasses and splints. But PRI is beneficial regardless I think for anyone who has torsion and pelvic instability.

Nevertheless, I'm still willing to try it out for a bit longer. I've tried everything but MRI's and surgery so far.

This channel wouldn’t exist, and the Institute wouldn’t exist, if it were hocus pocus. Not all PRI therapists have equal amounts of experience and people have different issues. For example, Someone w hypermobility (not saying that is you) or a history of trauma may take a long time to feel better. We are dealing with the brain and the brain’s ability to change or resist change. My tinnitus has decreased over the past four years bc of PRI, but will it ever go away completely? I doubt my brain will allow it.

​@Neal Hallinan what I mean to say is that I am cautiously optimistic. I have no idea what my root cause is, but I have 2 things going on. Constantly having left QL tension that can also make its way into my glute minimum and piriformis. Recently it has been giving me some IT band issues to. I found my Good Feet insoles that I started using again which seems to improve my arch and walk. I'm trying to correct my pronation and flat feet. I have the outside of my heel wearing down on my shoes. I also have some neck stuff that has been pretty bad. So much so that my nerves in my face get irritated, namely what I believe is the trigeminal nerves. My tongue would tingle and I'd have my jaw involuntarily shift to one side as if I have muscle spasms around the jaw. A doctor, a dentist and a physical therapist all ruled out TMJ. My SCM, scalenes, upper traps and suboccipital muscles are always in tension. I believe I found the issue there though , as I have been working on my lower trap activation (which I found I couldn't even really activate on my own without external stimuli at first, like my brain was telling them what to do but my muscles were on vacation). A few weeks later of working on those my neck is visibly longer, meaning my shoulders aren't hiked up into my ears as often. Nerve issues are reduced, but still have work to do. I think it also has to do with some C1 hypermobility because I can nearly go 90 degrees with neck when looking up. It all just sucks, but slowly improving.

computer use compounded this issue for me

Currently have a jaw dislocation

[@NealHallinan]

Unfortunately PRI can’t fix a jaw dislocation bc it can’t change a structural issue. That’s a true medical issue. PRI is good for resolving pain of unknown origins.

IMO these vids only explain why and not the how.

For non Americans: can you decipher AIC?

[@NealHallinan]

Anterior Interior Chain of muscles. It's a term used by the Postural Restoration Institute to describe a chain of muscles that become overactive due to our asymmetrically designed body.
