The Left AIC and the Visual System 

Thanks, Nick.

Good luck with seeing UK practitioner

Where do you see this practitioner in the UK?

​@@michaelbrown3691it will be in Leeds West Yorkshire or London Martin's Higgins

Is Martin Higgins still PRI's lone man, restoring left sides, one left hamstring, one left hip, at a time, in the United Kingdom?

How is it going

I have the knot to, same place.

Oh, wow. Interesting. I think vision's connection to movement is just too obvious that we don't even consider it. Instead of movement, think about "navigation". How can we navigate our bodies through London without appropriate visual awareness?

@@NealHallinan 😀

Thank you.

Yes and yes. It's like Cognitive Behavior Therapy....you need to return to the positions/experiences that your brain perceives as threatening. People are always surprised how quickly I can put them back into their pattern just by playing music they don't like.

@@NealHallinan wow. I see, so question, is getting Into position/experiences enough to heal the more we put ourselves in the situations? Or do we need more to allow our brains to feel safe again? What’s been your experience? Thank you!

I've heard of it, but can't remember the details. I'll have to look it up again. Thank you for the kind words.

oh my god. was shocked to read your comment. I suffer from this too. at least the last 8/9 years. the worse my pain / worse alignment, the worse my visions been getting - i think the "snow" is exacerbated by severe neck/jaw tension ..... all that straining has to contribute to the rapid decline in vision imo. I have severe TMJ (i am a singer/songwriter.. Who does pretty physical labour to support myself - improper form, overworking + health issues has wrecked me over a decade) the strain on all my neck/back/jaw caused me to get vocal nodules, extreme mucous which rendered me unable to breathe thru my nose, & gave me "tinnitus"/ cotton-filled ears; unable to hear, unable to sing/ speak (without getting 'laryngitis') unable to breathe! its been a long journey, years of therapeutics/ pharmaceuticals never solving my issues, to get here. sorry for ramble. maybe you relate to something. im curious. Do you have significant misalignment issues?? ( like that are obvious/ known to you) Ive just started seeing someone who works in pri, after seeing a bunch of Neals vids (thank GOD) & feeling like i completely lined up with that left AIC pattern/ L torsion. looks like thats correct for me. trying to determine whether it stems from jaw misalignment/ or pelvic tilt. i know i have both from many years of X-rays/docs/chiro lol. was told 11 yrs ago i have "slight scoliosis' curve to the left. my torso is rotated to left & one pelvic bone pops out more than the other (& i only sense my left canine, teeth are straight. no braces ever. but i remember in childhood my right canine shifting out a bit. and my dentist saying is was no big deal. teeth dont touch it though.) i have fibromyalgia (in addition to other shit) THE ONLY TIME I DONT SEE SNOW. is when i take my sleeping pill !!!!!!!! its the strangest thing... so ive has chronic sleep disorder since infancy.. Im sure the primary source of my ailing health.... anyway. a few years ago i started taking Zopiclone ( a non benzo sleeping pill ) the only thing of the many meds ive been on that has helped me sleep restoratively - I was shocked to discover, when this med kicks in. it loosens majority of my muscle tension & THE SNOW GOES AWAY. AND I CAN SEE. when did the snow start for you? was there an event that occurred and it started happening? or did is sneak up of you? I started wondering one day ,before i ever had heard of VSS, "man did i always see like this?" ive still not pin pointed the origin certainly. but im wondering too if its a side affect of misalignment. omg a novel. i wish you luck in your healing.

Thank you for the kind words. Are you requesting a reference for the diagram I drew?

Yes. Is there any? Thank you neal

@@laugary7054 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemispatial_neglect It is more about what the brain is paying attention to, rather than the eyes. But in regards to the actual eyes, it's really no different than mono-vision: one eye is working more for distance, the other more for near, even though both are contributing to both. We don't want monovision. We want alternation. Also, the book I show in the video talks about it. The actual diagram that I draw is taken from a real diagram from a neuro-optometry text book. It can be found online...somewhere.

@@NealHallinan yes thank you so much.

I don't really have any recommendations, unfortunately. Your eyes are your brain, so I can't imagine a country not having a specialized optometrists. Maybe they are called something else?

​@@NealHallinan, We have ophthalmologists, optometrists, strobologists (specialists in strabismus). But none of them knows about the connection between the skeleton and vision, unfortunately. We don't have behavioral optometrists. I'm from Russia.

I really don't do anything strength and conditioning related anymore, and all my PRI clients are just for PRI, not really working out. So I haven't had the chance to track anything like that.

I don't think scanning the road in the distance would be problematic. In fact, looking in the distance is the most relaxed state our eyes can be in. Looking up close is more problematic. Relaxing eyes is definitely a good thing, though. We find visual patterns usually when there is some sort of "pathology" in the body, excessive ranges of motion where they shouldn't be found.

Holy shit , i have the same problem , i had dissociation symptoms , tinnitus and have been addicted to my phone .

You need to be evaluated by a PRI therapist. That isn't a common presentation, so there is some extra compensation going on.

Walking backwards does have benefits and is used in PRI, although the actual techniques are quite difficult. If you look up "backwards walking" you'll probably find some research on it.

Hi Ali. Yes, I remember you. I'm happy to hear that you are feeling better! My email address is on my website.

Whoa! I have the same issues! How are you working it out?

However, I am not surr about the right AIC bit. Thats because I did the drop test and couldnt let my left leg down. Did you try the test?

@@pournima8096 I have a lot of visual symptoms, so I'm getting tested for astigmatism and BVD. The biggest symptom I have is the feeling of dissociation (derealisation). But I've noticed doing side hip raises helps a lot. It makes me feel grounded.

@@GG-09 It could be a postural thing. Did you recently face anything that caused trauma/extreme discomfort?

@@pournima8096 it very well could be. I've been like this for almost ten years and still haven't figured out the problem 😆. My theory is it's the eyes, I need to get prism glasses, and maybe then my body will start relaxing because I'll be able to see well. May be then PRI exercise work.

Ur jus gonna cause more trauma and pain on top of it

@@user-zg5jh1qs8c does posture straps help?

I have the same issue. How is your progress now?

@@Omer-gv2tp unfortunately nothing's changed. I've tried many routines but none helped me.

Get the eye wear you need and the shoes that help you sense the ground AND do your own experiments

I can and do have someone close an eye when I think the issue is of the two eyes not cooperating. Closing one eye can eliminate the rivalry and the body relaxes. It depends on what I'm observing from the individual. It doesn't change anything though because when both eyes are open, the rivalry returns. I'm not sure I understand what your second question is.

@@NealHallinan Interesting, thanks! And never mind about the second question, I think I was mixed up when I wrote that but after rewatching that part it sounds like a similar situation to mine, just not as strong an Rx.

I have not yet done a hearing video. However, after getting a mandibular splint, which changed my jaw position, my left ear “gained” 10 db of hearing.
