I have this same exact thing and I haven't driven my car in a long time. I can literally feel the discoordination between my eyes and head while walking and it only improves temporarily when i massage those suboccipital muscles using my fingers.
Hi I have tmj closed lock. Since the disc slipped I get pain. The pain always feels like tooth pain. Teeth have been checked and are fine. I also sometimes get burning cheeks, scalp, side of nose. Tightness around my eyebrows. Any ideas what's going on? I've spent so much and seen so many specialist and I'm getting no where. It just sucks 😕
This is exactly my other issue at moment in conjunction with upper issues from diagnosed tos and i was even wondering if was endometriosis as radiates so deep that it goes to lower back. Mri scans fine, MS brain scan done 3 yrs ago was fine and was diagnosed with functional gut disorder and oddi dysfunction and slow gastric emptying. But that woukdnt cause this impringed feeling and atrophy down right leg and tight pain down inside of leg. Its ao tight all way downward effect my foot is very tight and causes foot and toes to cramp up .
Do you do consults via zoom or does it have to be in person. Im in Australia, Victoria and their literally no help here. Surgeon wants to operate but i am terrified as alot of mine like your article states is posture related, anterior tilt and forward head. When i hold hands over chest and help lift self uptight the relief is there however i am so wrecked and from the vein amd blood flow compressed that i cannot hold self upright. I work 3 days over computer and hand and arm is heavy burning pain and get blue fingers and hand and now meidan ulnar and raidal nerve issues. Hand gets stuck like its over a mouse and my arm is a heavy useless painful log like cement feeling and burning sensations. My chest is so tender crps from constant too lomg nerve irriation and i believe its why i have pots from the constant nerves irriated on the sympathetic nervous system. My spine feels warped as if spine aligned i feel less crazy but spine cant stay in upright alignment it reverts to where it feels safe and yet its harmeful. My Oxemetre even shows that blood oxygen drops to 89 from 99 when arm is in any abduction and i cant even hokd arm up to put hair tie in. I know i need this fixed but surgery seems to end in more surgeries or if take rib out lop sided and otber side goes. I have not seen real life testimonials here of success stories from one surgery lomg term. Would u do zoom consult or os it useless as have to be seen in person for exercise program? Scared, desperate, nearly lost job only managing just barely 3 days and gone thru all savings and no positive outcome. Need one last chance to fix this before surgery is last option and dont want to get loan for surgery and end up worse as already close to suicidal with this. Its taken ocer my life and as an extrovert type a personality , i havr over the years become an isolated lonely depressed individual. Please help advice my best step or price of consult for zoom app. Thank-you kindly
I want to thank you, sir. You have opened my eyes with yours sets/reps/rest thing. I am fighting my lower back pain several years trying so many exercises. Sometimes i had relief, but after continuing doing exercises every day, pain usually is coming back. But now i realised what if muscle is constantly tired i should work with it much more gradually. Plus this exercise is simply the best to target piriformis, looks like it is the first exercise what makes me tired so fast even without additional resistance as weights/bands. I will be doing this exercise 1 set, 2 times a week and i will update how i feel in this comment.
I think you are amazing and have the problem identified but your pec minor stretching is not effective. If you have this really Bad you can’t simply elevate the shoulders because of all of these weird compensations at the neck and lower back. There has to be more attention to detail
I'm so glad I've started seeing your videos again. Your articles/videos really helped me a lot with my TOS. I definitely have significant breathing dysfunction and jaw clenching and this I think leads to shortened scalene, elevated rib etc etc. No mystical relationship, direct cause and effect. Also started having chronic low back/sacrum pain when I was 19 (35 now.... Slowly improving TOS with physio).
5:49 I am wondering if you could clarify about the long neck cue/pulling the back of the head up as the nose comes forward. How do we pull the back of the head up? Is it using some muscle in the neck? Is it sort of “stretching” the head upwards so that spot raises? I’m a little confused about the cue and am wondering if you could elaborate. Thank you so much for all of your content!
Amazing. Thank you for explaining. I've had a clicking throat when I swallow for the past 6 months (and a sensation of tightness / narrow gullet for several years before this). I'm also experiencing trouble with swallowing / food getting stuck in the throat, often. I have to twist my neck to the side in order to get it down! I recently had a scan that ruled out anything sinister - thank goodness. What you say totally makes sense. I have an old neck injury, and I must be holding my head/neck/jaw in a way that helps to "stabilise" against the old injury too. I have been told in the recent past that my muscles around the front of the neck and shoulders are tight. I hold a lot of tension. I am aware of it myself. When I do bother to make myself mindful of my posture, I realise that I'm holding my jaw clenched - probably almost all the time. I also tend to hold my arms and shoulders tight too. It's something I'll have to work on releasing from now on, that's for sure! I'm sure anxiety and stress play a large part in it too. No doctor I've seen has discussed this with me. A chiropractor was the only person who got near mentioning that I hold tension here. But didn't go into the detail of the muscles involved, like what you have done. Thank you again for your time and explanation. I will try the exercise, and I feel positive about the results to come!!
More likely that the jaw and facial symptoms have led to you relaxing your face more, which causes droopiness of the facial muscles. It's not pathology per se.
usually goes along with quad clenching. Has nothing to do with weakness in the psoas; the latter being a symptom of the postural issue and habits rather than a cause.
Is this good for jugular vein compression? I have cci and Ed’s but The past week if I don’t stay in this position I feel my heart starting to get pressure and my head starts to feel funny like I need to lay down like blood isn’t getting to heart.
