I'm really loving how you're piecing all the puzzle pieces together. This is the future of health.
This should have been health today, but "some people" have interest in selling you pills or products for every issue you have
”there’s a lot of research out there that suggests if you don’t breathe, you die”
There he goes again shilling for Big Oxygen 😅
😂😂😂😂😂
This was one of the best jokes I have ever heard! Conor your brilliant! 😂🔥
😂
😂😂
What people don't realize is none of those studies were controlled double-blind studies, so can you really believe them?
This HAS to be connected to a major cause of sleep apean on non overweight individuals
Yeah it causes an undergrown jaw and skull
I agree! What if sleep apnea could be treated like this?!
I cured my sleep apnea by fixing my sleep posture. I used to sleep half on my belly, and I would place pillows so it was harder to roll over, stretch before bed, and I just didn't get into those positions anymore. I did a sleep study recently and passed... I used to wake up in shock all the time....
@@andrewconnor4429 how do u sleep now?
@@andrewconnor4429 How do you sleep now, on your back? Do you use a pillow?
Everytime i watch a video like this one talking about how we should breath i cant help but think on how little we are taught about our bodies growing up. We don't even know how to breath properly! Thank you for helping making up for this shortcoming Great video
In fairness, animals (humans included) shouldn't have to learn how to breathe properly. We breathe that way naturally. The problem is that the modern world and our modern habits, tendencies, and lifestyles are so unnatural, it creates a lot of new functional and structural problems that humans didn't have to deal with for 99.9% of our evolutionary history. The connection between this unnatural lifestyle and the health and structural problems it is creating is something that is only recently starting to be researched and understood.
@@scottk1525 yes thats a very fair observation, also i imagine that human body evolved and transformed relativly quickly in respect to other animals since we started using tools
@@TrainYourBrain621 Yeah the evolution of humans is ridiculously fast compared to all other species. Some would even say suspiciously fast.
@@scottk1525 *puts on tinfoil hat* do you know about the stoned ape theory?
@@TrainYourBrain621 Yeah that's a fun one.
Forward head posture (FHP) is a typical case study used in the third year of osteopathy to make these somatic connections to solve similar problems. Gj on the video
So glad i found this channel, finally someone who is not focus on symptoms
I think you'll have a hard time finding posture correction videos that are only worried about "symptoms." Everybody is trying to fix the root cause; it's just that everybody disagrees on what the root cause actually is. Some people think it's muscular, others think it's habitual, others still like Conor here think it's more about breathing. And frankly I don't see any strong evidence one way or the other that any given one of them is the true and only root cause. I think it's more likely that there are multiple factors that need to be addressed.
Unfathomably based. Thank you for spreading the facts, I've learned so much from your videos!
I have the worst of both worlds and am so glad you came out with this video because it is very overlooked
I have restricted access to one side of my diaphragm due to lateral pelvic tilt and result in compensatory neck breathing and forward head posture, not to mention the mouthbreathing very narrow palate, tongue tie and TMJ as well as blocked/small airways
Your videos in collaboration with the AIA are absolutely amazing Conor, please keep doing more!
You’re just a body mechanics genius and I’m here for it! Thank you 🙌🏻
I just wanted to tell you, Thank you! You're the first person that's actually been able to help the situation that I'm in. I'm 57 years young and this is the first time my body is not acting the way it should. Therefore causing me to lose my fun times. It's very difficult to walk and your stretch exercises are extremely helpful
Growing more muscle around my pelvis and around my stomach helped improve my forward head posture immensely! The problem had nothing to do with my neck. Thank u for your videos, they changed my life!!❤
YAY!!! I’m so glad to see you covering this topic!
I’m going through myofunctiinal therapy and getting ready for a tongue tie release soon! I’ve been trying to spread the word about this ever since I found out about it several months ago!
You have no idea how much I needed this!! Thank you!!
Damn! That works good 👍🏻
I don't know how much it improved my head forward position except incrementally. I immediately noticed that it gave my neck such relief in its straighter position! I so appreciate this whole body approach.
Im just now learning how significant the respiratory system is. It can cause significant dysfunction, more than anything I’ve come across on my journey
Best video on this topic by far!!
May God bless you Conor and keep you strong
This is me, I had 4 teeth extracted when I was younger to create room, which has led to a narrow jaw and now forward head posture. I have experienced lots of tension in my SCM, upper chest and traps much of my adult life and headaches are a daily occurance. I never seen someone capture it like you did in this video. I will certai ly be trying these excercises.
I never crawled which impacted all of the above I think. Another super fine video, thank you!
Wow that's my situation with the teeth being removed etc 😮 thank you for this detailed explanation!
If I would’ve discovered this a decade ago my life would be very different today. Better late than never though! This video sums the root cause of my physical issues perfectly. My ALF was just delivered yesterday and I already feel a gigantic difference in virtually all of my symptoms throughout my body. Absolutely insane
Wow! I had teeth removed as a kid and never thought it could have affected my posture 🤯
Bless you Conor. Perfect timing.
You are competent and informative. Thank you
Hmmm, this could explain a lot about my own situation. Thank you!
My tongue is way too big for my teeth man lol. they indeed did yank teeth as you describe. I keep hitting a wall with my posture and I forgot you'd taught me about this already, I think it's even more important than I thought. I believe this is why it's hardest to stay stacked when running! By body is trying to prioritize air, I will give this a solid effort as much as possible and track my progress thanks
Thank you so much for this video.
And all this time, I thought everyone’s head was in the wrong position because of looking down at their mobile phone
oh my god i felt the immediate difference. thanks Conor
how often do you rekon we do this
I have needed you for at least 60 years. What a revelation. Would this explain a tendency to awaken with the elbows up? I am a back sleeper.
I love your philosophy connor! I have a story you might find interesting.
I have pretty noticeable forward head posture, and have tried a lot of exercises you recommend (breathing to expend the back rib cage, stretching the lats), with little success really.
However, I also have bilateral condylar resorption, which sets the lower jaw significantly behind the front teeth. My docs have told me that its likely this restricts my airway significantly, as the lower jaw is pushed up against the trachea.
I have a joint replacement operation tomorrow that should hopefully fix all that! I’m going to keep watch throughout recovery to see if my head posture changes, and revisit your exercises if i have to.
Your videos got me into PT which I’m super thankful for. Keep killing it 💪
Curious to how the surgery went?
@@kalincachia8379Surgery went perfectly! Was a 9 hr operation, they did a lot. Im about two weeks out now and starting to feel better, still a week before i can do any chewing. Been living on refried beans and protein shakes! I appreciate the concern!
Yeah let us know please. I have the same problem. I can feel the difference in breathing when the jaw is relaxed vs when it's pushed forward nearer the upper front teeth 😊
that crab walk exercise is killer!!
I sure hope this isnt yet another case of ''your bones are just fucked''
;-; im cooked
Im in pt school and happy to see that im not crazy
Love the video! How would you assess for scoliosis curvature?
Thank you Conor, will give this a try. I have destroyed my singing voice by practicing in the car for over a year or so which eventually (unbeknownst to me until it was too late) led to unfathomable neck tension and postural issues that I am struggling to get on top of.
Plz can you elaborate your situation bc I do a lot of singing and I could be doing damage according to your post. I do have incredible neck tension also.
Great video!
Amazing video!
Mewing bu Dr. John Mew 🙂
This is gold!
This issue occurs for me because I have a tied tongue, after so many years I've finally found a good physio that understands this & their explanation to me made perfect sense
I'm starting rehab now to prepare to have my tied tongue lasered to remove the tie, which then will require more rehab
Because my tongue hasn't been able to move properly, I have never swallowed properly & thus muscles that support all these actions are being pulled all the time in ways that they don't for people without tied tongues
Just another thing to put out there for people, if you have a tied tongue, try find someone that is aware of the issues it causes that can help you
I thought as an adult you couldn’t treat tongue tie, is that laser procedure successful for all patients
Thank you! This would explain a lot. Is this exercise beneficial for those whose issue is due to a tongue tie?
Thank you!
Amazing!!…Thanks
Great work! hey wheres that round table video? 😇
I've suffered with asthma my entire life ... whilst I thought it was well managed for a long time, I think it was actually stressing me more than I realised because I wasn't using my preventer inhaler and maybe this explains my forward head posture.
I find that there is a big relationship between tense neck/throat muscles and my nose being really congested. I'd appreciate a video on the relationship between neck muscles and your nose if that's something you would be interested in .
This is extremely informative, as I, all of a sudden, started waking up with head and neck tremors, practically out of nowhere, leading to TMJ issues, and a host of other issues. The crazy thing? When I'd wake up, I'd have the urge to pull my shoulders down, cracking my collarbone/sternum, and I'm wondering if much or all of it is tied to this. Will give these exercises a go!
Hey, I have pretty much the same thing going on. Will try these exercises too, can you update us on what improvements you get?
@@nntebi1422 Absolutely.
Updates? @@NJShadow
@@Hogojub I went HEAVY on the exercises for about a week, and while I may have gone a bit TOO hard, to the point where I had some soreness and headaches, when the muscles healed, I had a very good week following. I took a little over a week off from doing it, and noticing some symptoms creeping back, so I'm gonna' try for another week and see where I am then. I hope to keep up with doing this every day.
I've got cervical kyphosis. I'm working with a chiropractor, using a deneroll daily, and soon will be seeing a physical therapist my pcp just refered me too.
Also, do you recommend cervical pillows for correcting posture?
Should someone be considering jaw/maxillofacial surgery to correct tongue posture and underdeveloped jaw/palate?
Hey, can you talk about Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction in your next video? What to do not to do and what can relieve the pain?
I swear I manifested this video. Been thinking about doing beginners body restoration again, learned about tongue position, and have been working on forward head posture in just the past week.
Are there more exercises like the crab walk. That helped me alot.
So after acquiring range of motion should we strengthen the muscles ,if so can you recommend some exercises
I am a mouth breather at night, so is my son. We both have a narrow pallet. And we both have necks that go forward. My other two kids are nose breathers and they have a normal pallet. Meaning I think the lack of air going into your nose causes this strain on breath and neck to go forward.
Any research papers on the "ribcage compression" and subsequent use of neck muscles for breathing? This is the key assumption of all the corrective exercises.
Hey I have a question, if I have all of these problems forward head tilt, flaring rib cage, anterior pelvic tilt and a duck walk. Is there a set of exercises I could do like a routine each day to help me get my self back together?
I see a lot of exercises and I would like to do them but is there one I should prioritize over the other or how would you go about this?
Conor I’m no expert, but I’ve found with my better breathing and more relaxed tongue, my tongue tie is actually diminishing. Not that the tongue tie tissue is gone. I can still see it, but as my tongue relaxes and develops more pressure against my palate naturally upwards, I’m not pushing my tongue forward with me head (which you explained). And I swear this is slowly allowing my tongue tie to go back to normal relaxed facial tissue. I’ve been to a tongue tie clinic and have evidence of where I started a couple years ago. If you’d like, I can get the results, take current measurements, and if there’s any real progress, feel free to use me as an example. I love how you’re giving all this valuable info away
And the process has been way more complicated than just mewing. I’ve had to develop a real feel to find the tension in my tongue muscles, all the way through my diaphragm to my pelvic floor
Last edit: activities like bouldering and skating have allowed me to find those mobility limitations due to my poor breathing. I’ve found that doing relaxing breaths to activate the sympathetic nervous system allows me to retrain bad movement patterns. If I go slow enough and breath well, any physical activity has been allowing to reset facial restrictions, but very slowly
Absolutely 💯 Percent true. I had teeth extracted when I was younger. Then as a adult we reopened those spaces and put implants back in. I feel like myself again... Please contact me. I am the only one that I know that has done this. I can answer many questions
How can I get in contact with you
Do you have email
had this issue for my whole life and I have halitosis as well, I am thinking that it is a lot related to forward head posture and the underlying conditions causing them
Wow. Yes I had 4 teeth removed as braces were put on. Healthy kid teeth they didn't want to deal with. My teeth are straight but very crowded
Thank u
Hi conor! Are there any pri practitioners in quebec?
ty
I'm 30 and I have a tongue tie. I have been dealing with Neck and Back pain for years now which has also led to excess inflammation and TMJ problems. @conor Harris, Do you recommend getting Tongue Tie released as an adult?
Can you please do a video about pectus excavatum?
YT brought me here and I must say Im shocked. This whole theory sounds so logical it must be true.
I have 1 question- if one have such breathing problem could cold shower help for a short time (like several minutes of easy breathing after taking a cold shower)? If yes why is that? I ask because that what I experience and thats what I discovered but have no idea how it works.
Is the crab walk useful for adults too? Or is its efficacy limited to kids?
Why do none of my biology textbooks mention the side abs!?
What would U suggest for a disabled senior who can not get down on the floor to do the 90% angle exercise??
Could a broken clavicle create this ribcage compression and descompensations ?
Is there any way to flatten the palate? By any divice or exercise
Is there an exercise that can be done seated? I can't lay on my back
are there any procedures in which the narrowing of your mouth from having your teeth pulled be reversed? I remember a guy appearing in the Joe Rogan Show where he was expanding his mouth through the use of his braces well above bone maturity stage and he was talking about having gained about 3 quarter dollar coins worth of bone growth. Or something like that.
I've noticed when I inhale my chest rises at the end and my neck goes back/tucks into perfect position...my scapula feels in a better position too...how do I maintain this? Just do PRI stuff?
Could a deviated septum be another factor that impacts this forward head posture?
I think Conor is in love with the 90 90
Haw does he keep it after the crab ? Do it once ?
Ok so what to do if I had my teeth extracted?
Thats exactly my problem, the Front of my left Neck is really tight
Do y'all feel your lower back push into the floor when doing that breathing exercise? Just want to make sure I'm doing it right.
why instruct to keep the back flat in 90/90? if you are trying to maintain/create proper cervical lordosis by bolstering would you not want to do the same for lumbar lordosis in this position? loss of lumbar lordosis will just recreate this same problem.
The breathing is definitely hard it’s like my body fights back a really good challenge
My 22 month old kid have been suffering from colds ever since he started in daycare a year ago. I think he had a week in total where his nose wasn't blocked with snot. He is almost only breathing through his mouth. Any advice? I'm starting to worry.
try sensitivity testing him for foods, not allergy but sensitivity. sounds like mast sell activation
What the obvious reasons of staring down at smartphones and bad office chair posture?
dude, you’re my absolute favorite. i don’t even believe in a god per se, but you are god sent. thanks for everything.
Glad to help 🙂
How long will It take for my muscles to learn this new way if being? As in how long should I do this exercise daily?
Also, really great explanation of what is should feel like when back pressed to floor and what to do by digging heels in. I have a weak core. My TMJ Dr believes the only way to get my neck in correct position is by yoga and walking in the water while doing the arm movements of swimming. He believes it's an issue with my muscles being weak. I believe it's from my muscles being tight and also not knowing the correct posture to be in.
Yes, front of my neck is so tight, it radiates up and my jaw gets sore. I just had tongue tie surgery in Dec 2023 and am really working on my diaphragm breathing.
I really appreciate this video and your helpful tips. Also, I did the exercise and I want to just stay in that position. How wonderful to get such a deep breath!
Not sure if these exercises would actually work n strengthen the flexors also forward head posture starts at the hips aswell which he never mentioed if uve got atp this exercise wont do much
This looks more like a regular deficit deadlift
🔥🔥🔥
I’m telling yall, YOGA and MEDITATION. Your neck hump will disappear. I used to meditate a whole lot back then, and never had any posture problems . Nowadays it’s different 😂 i haven’t meditated in awhile, now I can barely meditate without fatigue in my neck and back
0:50 debatable🤔
just hours after i searched for a video like this and didnt found it
There's so much speculation to justify the patterns of "root cause" with no empirical evidence given. Demographics of tongue tie is small, you can rule out accessory muscles with palpation, and the "proper tongue posture" is not supported, and also probably impossible as it requires constant fight against gravity.
Can i do this even if i have scoliosis?
I mean doest this exercise affect scoliosis?
most likely not at all
@@aguspuig6615 what do you mean ?
Is it safe ?
So how does the ribcage get compressed exactly?
For me I believe it was but it was long hours of sitting playing video games. But its dif for everyone
Not very shocking but good content
around 3:30 he talks about the so called mewing, insteresting!,
