The is exactly the same protocol as developed by the late Burl Pettibon, DC decades ago. Glad someone is continuing with his work. He was a rather crude person, but had some great ideas and tools to help patients become pain free.
This was fascinating! My husband has displaced disc at C2-3. He went for months of PT but they never shared this info. He occasionally has neck pain now but he has that "jutted out neck" posture. I think I should get this for him! We have a treadmill at home and maybe he could wear it while walking at 3MPH and be is own case of one! You are so knowledgeable and share things easily for non-health care professionals to understand. Thank you!
There is another important part of it though! The way upper jaw connects to the lower jaw is what affects the neck and body posture. A few holistic dentists talk about it including Dr.Dwight in California and Dr.StevenLin from Sydney which is also not new as it was discovered a long time ago but never taught
Hi Dr. Yoni, I've been watching your videos for a long time and I love your simple and clear explanations. Unfortunately, every video I watched regarding neck issues end with the recommendation to purchase the device you've created that looks very effective. However, for those of us, who are unable to buy it, can you create a video with exercises? Thank you very much!
Thanks for all your support, Galit! I really appreciate it! There are quite a few videos on the channel demonstrating posture building exercises that require no equipment. Here are a few videos you might find useful: th-cam.com/video/AHsitDL0ZqM/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/VaIcT2vFgcU/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/FTfPAM8hXiE/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/NIxQdFeJRz4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much Dr Yoni! I have been watching some of your videos for a few days now and trying the exercises and have signed up to the Pain Fix Protocol. I am very interested in this traction unit. It started me thinking, how many ancient cultures do things like carrying heavy weights like wateer pots on their heads. Also things like wearing a crown. I have been experimenting this morning with holding a jug of water on my head, and I feel like even holding up the arms to balance it is a good exercise! it feels like it is working my abdominal area in a good way. I wonder if even wearing something like a garland, even with very little weight, could be beneficial to posture, in just the awareness that it calls for, to maintain balance in the head. Although perhaps if wrongly positioned it could make things worse, I'm not sure... anyway lots to think about and thank you for the very helpful insights and exercises. I like to understand how the exercises and devices work, and I am glad for the more detailed explanations here that are not always included in the PFP program. From Kylie in Australia (note the baby wallaby in my profile pic!).
You're most welcome, Kylie! I'm so glad these videos are providing food for thought. I think you might really enjoy some of the videos in the Posture Playlist where I talk a little more in-depth about head weighting - studio.th-cam.com/users/playlistPL1rO7vW04HUA-MztSrT-J3y7wf4Ye9xyL/videos
@@painfixprotocol Thank you! i have also subscribed to your channel and have been working my way through all the videos including others about the neck. I have lots of questions, but won't bug you with them until I've watched all posted videos, as I think at least some of my Qs will be answered there! Best, K
Yoni, thank you for your concise, easy-to-understand videos! After watching another of your videos I bought a vibration plate for my osteoporosis. Since I am already doing that 10 min per day, would it be safe to wear your active traction headband at the same time I am on the vibration plate?
Great question, Lori! It is possible to perform Active Traction (AT) in combination with whole body vibration (WBV). Be aware that this is a very intense stimulus and alterations in training time should be made to reflect the increase in intensity. For example, if a person had built up to 10 minutes of Active Traction on flat ground, we might reduce training time to somewhere between 3-5 minutes when making the switch to AT + WBV. This combination is not recommended for anyone with low fitness or a history of balance issues.
@@painfixprotocol think my lump is from a car accident injury, its painful and only on the left side. Do you have any videos about these injuries? What type of scan or X-ray will show my injury I want to know exactly what's up
Good question, Constance. The answer is - it depends. The age of your fractures would be important to consider and would the overall condition of your spinal tissues. Without knowing your medical history and examining you myself, it's difficult to say to if Active Traction is appropriate for your situation.
100% right, Cathie! But we can (and should) be taking steps to minimize the damage from that often necessary activity. And making a point to engage in certain practices to counteract the harmful effects.

Good point, Irina. There is a relationship between jaw position and head position.

Thanks a lot!
Hi Yoni. Thank you for your useful and great quality videos. Can you please make a video about anterior pelvic tilt and how to fix it?
Great suggestion, vonmodels! I'm adding that to my list for future videos.

so we have to walk around with forehead weights?
Active Traction can be performed standing or walking. There's more information about that in this video - th-cam.com/video/_AFMc8zwdYw/w-d-xo.html

this happened to me in a span of two weeks. I started feeling the pain and my head really heavy.
I strongly recommend you see a qualified practitioner in your area to determine the source of problem.
@@painfixprotocol Okay thank you!
Hi Dr Yoni Can I wear this active traction unit if I have 10 compression fractures?
Good question, Constance. The answer is - it depends. The age of your fractures would be important to consider and would the overall condition of your spinal tissues. Without knowing your medical history and examining you myself, it's difficult to say to if Active Traction is appropriate for your situation.
What happen if the neck form is like a rule. Someone told me about. Dr. Yonni explain (thank you!) something about the knees pain
Can you please rephrase your question?
Computer use sure doesn't help.😢
100% right, Cathie! But we can (and should) be taking steps to minimize the damage from that often necessary activity. And making a point to engage in certain practices to counteract the harmful effects.
