You're amazing, man. This has been one of my biggest struggles since I was a kid-texture issues as a child, swallowing issues as a teen, most likely sleep apnea, and posture issues for as long as I can remember. I took the test, and lo and behold, I have a tongue tie. Looking forward to getting your new program.
This guy is so good. I've been browsing the internet for a long time watching videos like these and he's really figured out stuff that others never did. Their advice were always very shallow old school fixes. He, the Kneesovertoesguy, Andy Galpin, Huberman, Jeff took my understanding to another level. Now I'm solving all my problems one by one.
Thank you for addressing and brining awareness to Tongue Ties. Not many people do even though it's SO important. I just recently found out I had a severe one and got the procedure to get rid of it and it has been LIFE CHANGING for me. The muscles in my neck and shoulders were so tight that it was impossible for me to bring my shoulders and neck back to stand straight and now I can do it so easily and there's no more tension (I even had tightness and tension all the way down to my calves). Exercises and stretches did nothing to help, no matter how long I did them. I HAD to get rid of the tongue tie since that was the cause of the tightness and tension. The only problem is that the muscles are weak and I have to build those muscles up to be able to maintain good posture (which I'm starting to work on which is how I found this video). I still have some tightness in my jaw to work on, but I'm still doing myofunctional therapy for it, and to strengthen my tongue so I can learn what I should have as a baby which is how to chew and swallow the right way and to hold my tongue to the roof of my mouth always. My sleep has improved significantly that I no longer have fatigue throughout the day and feel rested when I wake up in the morning. This alone made life, school, and work so difficult for me over the years. My tongue tie was the source of a lot of my problems and I have been surprised just how much of my body was affected by it and it frustrates me that it took so long for anyone to make me aware of it despite going to the dentist my whole life and having braces (and going to the doctors for some of the issues the tongue tie caused with no real help). I feel like I can be a normal person now. There are so many people suffering from a tongue tie and have no idea, despite it being so easily noticeable. It took a holistic dentist to make me aware of it and I worked with another holistic dentist for the procedure. They seemed to be the only ones really knowledgeable about the topic (in my case anyway). My mom said my pediatrician noticed it after she explained the difficulty I had breast-feeding but was told it was no big deal. Super frustrating. So thank you again for bringing it up.
❤You are the only one talking about these important things rather than just doing excersises for the muscles that hurt you. Atacking the symptoms wont fix anything, you have to atack the root causes. Thank you so much for what you do. YOU ARE AN ANGEL❤
I fixed my hunched back and forward head by heavy carries. Heavy backpack, weighted vest or heavy dumbells in each hand work great. They will teach you the optimal way to stand and move. Try carrying your bodyweight with hunched back with head forward, you will have a tough time doing that. Start slow, go for a walk with that extra weight and see how every detail starts to matter.
holy shit dude, as soon as you said the common problem is "leaning forward and centre of gravity is off" I adjusted how i was in relation to my centre of gravity and it made an instant difference on my back!!
Conor,your videos are gold , it's amazing the work and passion that you put on videos and the facts that they available for free and all over the world , greetings from Italy!!!!🎉🇮🇹🇮🇹
Thank you Conor for this. I have a very long neck and forward head posture was a problem for me for a long time. Your videos have helped me so much. I learned about keeping my tongue on the roof of my mouth about 10 years ago and it changed my life. I wear a head band at night so that my mouth stays closed and thus my tongue stays where it should and I breath through my nose. What a difference!
Wow this is in my opinion looks very helpful, nice, clearly explained information. Heartfelt thanks to you, infinitely. May this generosity returns back to you in even greater ways. I will try and see the effects. I am truly grateful to have come across this video. Sending my best.
My old chiropractor had me doing the forward and back things with my neck.. I stopped after a couple of weeks because it wasn't helping at all. And I started focusing more of keeping my pelvic forward while lifting my chest and it has helped my upper back tremendously. Thanks for the confirmation that me doing this correctly now.
After being in a sling for a while on the right side, I notice I have forward head posture, rounded shoulders, my ribs seem further out, got more of an anterior pelvic tilt and it’s harder to breathe when I draw the pelvis into a neutral position. Particularly on the left my lower traps have become weak, the muscles between the scapula and humerus have become tight, the scalene is very tight, and I can’t breathe so we’ll when turning my head to the left. I will definitely be trying these exercises to help correct my posture so I can return to effective training again.
This is crazy! When I was a kid I had breathing issues and later on braces for overbite, but before that they put in a device to keep my tongue DOWN. (Because apparently the tongue will push teeth foward & out) About 15 years later I got neck pain which NEVER went away. I'm sure this is all connected. It is so interesting to hear how everything is related. Its like all the pieces are finally coming together. THANK YOU so much for your holistic approach!!
Just linked my neck issue to the forward head posture of posterior tounge tie associated with neurodivergence, with the lifelong lordosis ive had. Thankyou.
Well explained! I am excited to try these exercises. I believe I am dealing with some sort of vagus nerve irritation from instability in my neck which can causes all sorts of symptoms, including breathing deregulation and anxiety!
You're very good at this stuff. But I think you should include a couple other exercises too. The PRI ones feel very redundant and probably difficult for some people.
wow I've never felt my shoulders come into alignment as naturally as they did in that second exercise, like they just rolled into place without me having to muscle them anywhere. i feel two inches taller!
Conor hello thank you very much for your videos. I have a question and I wanted to ask you about it both because of your narration and because you are reliable. How should our back be in a natural position while lying on the ground, should there be a gap between the ground and our back or should it be almost straight, and is it the same for back sports movements, and does this differ in men and women? If you have a video about it, I can watch it, I guess I just couldn't find it.
It is hard to stay aware of posture at a desk job. If you do not have your screen level with your eyes, it messes with your neck position, and if you are trying to see better, you may move your head forward, very complex.
I will see a professionell, I had to close my mouth significantly. I suspect that my diaphragm does not close off my stomach very well which causes acid to come up. It might even have an effect on my anxiety level since that always corresponds with my stomach and diaphragm.
I can't do a chin tuck. It pinches a nerve deep under the nape of my neck that impinges my shoulder. Something with spending 55 years at a piano may have something to do with that.
6:09 - I would never go to a "Qualified Malfunctional Therapist" with my issues. Leave the poor guys alone! They have their own shit to deal with. (put on CC if you don't get it...)
Hi Conor, This was an awesome video. I had a question about the tongue tie. My mouth closes slightly when I put the tip of my tongue up to my top front teeth. If 100% is wide open then it probably closes to about 75-80% Is that something I need to get looked at then?
What exactly does having the hips and knees flexed at 90 degrees do? I’ve seen this exercise done in a lot of videos but haven’t seen why or how it works
Going by your tests in the video, I believe I have a significant enough tongue tie as a causal factor for my forward head posture. Is it advisable to just go and get it cut by a doctor? Are there any issues or risks associated with just going and doing it?
Questions Is the tongue supposed to go up and down as i breathe? Dont know how else to exhale through mouth if my tongue is up there. Why do you divide it into sets? Do i need to rest in between? Do I need the towel if i can point my chin up without it?
Hello! Please explain to me. If I can't achieve neutrality in the pelvis, ADD (+) on both sides and chest. Is it too early to have a tongue frenulum plastic surgery?
Belly breathing restricts sternal movement. Your body, over time, will compensate through opening the upper airway aka jutting the head forward. Forward head people are all belly breathers, even if they don't know.
i started living in my car a few months ago posture has gotten fucked and tounge has sunken in my mouth i sing A LOt and with this shitty posture i realize i used to have this posture but it went away from just living life better happened without me actively thinking about trying to do it and my voice had more bass and my singing was different i could switch between note and cliff so easily i’m so curious how many ppl have ability’s they don’t know about bec of posture as well as AS A MAN ppl treat you so different when you’re in between these two things so strange
"Both the SCM and scalenes attach to the ribs"... proceeds to show picture of SCM not attaching to the ribs. SCM origin is the clavicle dude and it does not attach to any ribs
I think you're miss informative tbh, I've been doing chin tucks for over a month and they seem to be working for me, not drastic results but my neck does look less missalined than it did before and I was one of those people who had a terrible looking head forward posture.

Thats BS total BS i have done farmers walks for months. With dumbels everyday and it didnt fix my forward head posture.
Everyone is different @@Mrleverworst

@@conorharrisIs this normal to fill back side of tongue some but different like lifted up after this exercise
Sometime I fill discomfort from it like my tongue is stretched from back to near neck mainly during swallowing

Super helpful! Well explained and executed, thank you!
"because breathing is extremely important for survival" I say I must agree with you 😂
Breathing is a lie created by Earth to sell more oxygen
Thanks Connor, you're a sweetie
Hey conor, please make a short reel on lower trap activation for people with hyper active upper traps.
Is there an exercise we can do while sitting? Would love to be able to work on this while sitting at work.

Great tutorial!
THANK YOU im definitely trying this later will update!!
Am going to do this exercises daily for a week and see if if it works : )
I’ll do these exercise and update the progress. Thank you bro!
How's it going
@@AaronJones-vf8st Haven’t felt apparent change, but I found that being relaxed is helpful to my posture.
@@noobduck1926How is it now?
Doesn’t fixing the anterior pelvic tilt increase height? Or can I stand up straight instantly and then be taller or will it take time?
I can't do a chin tuck. It pinches a nerve deep under the nape of my neck that impinges my shoulder.
Something with spending 55 years at a piano may have something to do with that.

Hi Conor,
This was an awesome video.
I had a question about the tongue tie. My mouth closes slightly when I put the tip of my tongue up to my top front teeth. If 100% is wide open then it probably closes to about 75-80%
Is that something I need to get looked at then?
What exactly does having the hips and knees flexed at 90 degrees do? I’ve seen this exercise done in a lot of videos but haven’t seen why or how it works
Skin care reveal pls
great advice!
Do you think it makes sense to strength train the jaw / neck? Do you have recommendations on 5 or 10 minute routines that you like?
"because breathing is extremely important for survival"
*Me taking notes* uh-huh
What about strengthening the muscles on your back and neck?
Nice idea, but I also lost the rotation in my shoulder and have no chance of even reaching the position I wanted in the video. And now?😢
Going by your tests in the video, I believe I have a significant enough tongue tie as a causal factor for my forward head posture. Is it advisable to just go and get it cut by a doctor? Are there any issues or risks associated with just going and doing it?
O‘ the second exercise should we expand the lower part of the Chest or the lower ribs?
Questions
Is the tongue supposed to go up and down as i breathe? Dont know how else to exhale through mouth if my tongue is up there.
Why do you divide it into sets? Do i need to rest in between?
Do I need the towel if i can point my chin up without it?
thank you!
Wait, arent those ridges part of the hard palette
Hello! Please explain to me. If I can't achieve neutrality in the pelvis, ADD (+) on both sides and chest. Is it too early to have a tongue frenulum plastic surgery?
Can I still have results if I have a tongue tie?
How about diaphramatic breathing?
Wait do I touch the tip of my tongue to the front of my front teeth or back?
I've been mewing for some time now and still have those ridges in my mouth. Will they eventually vanish?
i knew it this was clickbait but i still clicked it LOL
I HAVE A TONGUE TIE AND IT EFFECT MY EVERYTHING THANK YOU!
Get it released! Find myo functional therapist and find local holistic dentist who’s up to date with tongue ties procedures.
hi man, how can i be in direct contact with you i have some question regarding to my scapular
goblet squats and bent over barbell rows help me
Doing chin tucks has caused my cervical vertebrae to kind of dislocate now. Wish I never did them

I have a deep bite will this still fix my forward headposture?
Hey Connor. Is this the same as the ‘Beginner Biomechanics Course’?
Good question - no! The Beginner BC is for practitioners and trainers. This course is for anyone :)
@@conorharris Thanks Connor. 👍🏼
Are we not supposed to be breathing from the belly rather than chest though (which inevitably causes my rib cage to rise)?
Belly breathing restricts sternal movement. Your body, over time, will compensate through opening the upper airway aka jutting the head forward. Forward head people are all belly breathers, even if they don't know.
