I've seen CST help facial asymmetry in horses. I'm scheduling a session for myself with a human focused practitioner. Really glad you made this video, a lot of people think symmetry is only genetics, when in reality certain therapies & modalities can help!
You really know your stuff. You point out things I've never heard of in any other videos. My body is such a mess. I will try to fix it as best I can using your videos. I wish you all the best in the future.
Also Ryan Gosling and Paul Walker have noticeably assymetrical faces. Yeah, not a big deal. The characteristics and overall harmony of the face are probably more meaningful than the symmetry up to a certain point.
Oh my god. I‘m in shock. Finally somebody understands how my body works. I’ve been treated so many years and i always felt like everybody was just confused
Heyy please explain me I didn't understand this video because my English is weak and that accent. My right eye is slightly low and left eye is slightly up so in which direction should I push my jaw???
The conversation should starts from question; Wich factors of asymmetry we have? Mechanical? Psychological? What else we have? What we can do with it - realisticly
Been watching your videos for over 1 year and they are really educational. I wish you could add a visual that stays on the screen as you talk about certain parts. Maybe I'm slow but its hard to keep up with the specific part you are talking about
It is the posture that causes face asymmetry. I changed my posture, and my face asymmetry disappeared. My case was easy because I knew what caused posture asymmetry in the first place. I practiced the Yoga Lotus pose (Padmasana) one-sidedly for some time. My pelvis became asymmetrical, and my face started losing symmetry, jaw, eyes etc. As soon as I realized what the problem was and started practicing the Yoga Lotus pose with another leg below, my facial asymmetry disappeared in only two days (!) after several years of suffering. I should thank Neal Hallinan for this realization and healing. The main realization is that the jaw and pelvis are linked and can influence each other.
What about assymetry in the eyes. My scleral show and canthus is slightly different. When I was a kid i did not have this problem but now I have this problem. I also have shit posture. Will fixing my posture fix assymetrical eyes aswell???
Conor, thank you so my much for your work! It’s invaluable. I would love to know your understanding of atlant dislocation in general but also in terms of its influence on face asymmetries and other compensations through the body. Please make a video about it next!
I hate those comments where people are like "Wow, I did the exercise and it worked and my life is better, and I feel better, and I reversed 20 years of damage, etc", because how can you trust that? BUT. Lately I've been having ear pain from my jaw, and my jaw/bite has been feeling mal-occluded. No idea why. I just did the isometric chin push exercise very gently and my jaw and ear actually feel better. Thank you very much for your videos.
Hey Conor doubt youll see this comment. Just wanted to give you feedback. I'm currently a personal trainer, through ACE. And just have to say your description referencing the kinetic chain, how things can lead to others, althought you kept it all really simplified for me and others watching i found it insanely digestible and cross-applying. Amazing job really its lead me to researching more on this and asking my teacher/ex proffesor about it. He didnt know too much hahaha other than the basics. Amazing video and loved that you went over genetics, differences amongst people and how you cant just paint 1 brush onto everyone as many tiktoks try to do. I find myself having the same principle in exercise, rehab and bodybuilding with my clients. Cant wait for more vids
You could create an entire business around helping people get symetrical faces. I hope you do and succeed in it because its such a useful information that is not well researched. ❤
Heyy please explain me I didn't understand this video because my English is weak and that accent. My right eye is slightly low and right eye is slightly up so in which direction should I push my jaw???
Mate, you have opened a door here I never knew existed! I had only been familiar with the term "sphenoid" in the context of sinuses - due to my life-long problems there. When you mentioned the bone, and the tilting thereof, my face started making sense. The entire left hemisphere of my skull, and my face, is smaller than the right. Left jaw slants outward from the ear to the corner of the jaw, but is more tapered and higher than the right, from the corner, down to the chin. Left eye is slightly higher than the right. Nose has a septal deviation to the right. Right jaw is fuller and lower. Back of the head is fuller than the left. Left/back is flat at the base of the skull. Left nostril appears larger than the right. Your video instantly put so much in place that I could never put my finger on, and has given way to a whole bunch of research for me to dive into! Massive thanks and appreciation!!
Connor great content, would love to see more, I thought I was crazy when I would hold my head, tongue and jaw posture properly suddenly my body would be more aligned, turns out there is science
Looking forward to the map you mentioned. I know AIA is working hard to train people to understand this work and be able to competently apply strategies. This may take longer; well I know for sure much longer than I would like as it includes several highly trained disciplines.
that’s where it’s at bro. caring about what actually matters. in the video he gives examples of celebrities that have asymmetry, and i bet they don’t wrack their brains about it. to busy living life
I have assymetry all over my body, and now due to eyes problem, miopia my eyes are really being affected so I notice even more the differences. I didnt care about body so much but meanwhile you are single you are ok, if you have somebody these defects can occupy more your mind. I feel uncomfortable with my eyes because its not only how they look but they are so different in how they function too😅 one has more mobility, etc
Heyy please explain me I didn't understand this video because my English is weak and that accent. My right eye is slightly low and left eye is slightly up and jaw is tilted in right direction and all from my fpp(pov) so in which direction should I push my jaw???
@@Gojofansigmamale-zd1zedid you get it ? I wanna know too. Mine is the same as yours but I didn't get the part where he explained from which side we have to push
@@Adarshnotforyou yeah I understood by myself we just need to activate muscles of weak side. So tell me which of your eye is up and low, and in which direction your jaw seems like tilted. If you are facing same asymmetry like me take any of your hand and lay down facing towards the ciel then touch your left jaw and push it towards the right direction and try to pull jaw to left direction not by hand but with jaw muscles then your muscles will get activated your face will be symmetrical, hope you got it, my eyebrows are also assymetrical like up and down do you have the same problem too?
@@Gojofansigmamale-zd1ze yeah i do have the same problem but it's not that severe, you'll only realise it when you look at it for a long period of time
Facial exercises have been out for a long time. Its the medical field that is finally catching up. Also, your jaw alignment correlates with your pelvic alignment. So, if your pelvis is out of alignment so will your jaw and vice versa. There's also Orthotropics and Mewing.
I assume a good way to identify the lateral pterygoid muscles would be to place your hand against your chin while trying to move your chin forward. Do a couple of repetitions and you should feel the muscles.
i have those spinal issues a vertebrae is out of place near my neck and my doctors are clueless ive been so anxious and panicked trying to figure out whats wrong because my entire body feels out of place i wish i had someone like you who knows how to help me in the way i need or just tell me whats wrong but this vid helped me realise other ppl have similar issues and that things can help i wish i could just walk normally again having these issues takes up my entire subconscious like im constantly reminded of my discomfort im just so tired of this i want a new body id rather be the ugliest person alive then have to deal with this pain and discomfort idc what i look like i just want to feel good again sorry for the rant im 17 i dont have good healthcare anyways tha k you for the tips ill be watching more of ur stuff
Craniosacral therapy (CST) manipulates the bones of the skull and I believe can affect the positioning of the sphenoid bone. Also, some chiropractors can do a cranial facial release where they use a balloon to adjust your sphenoid bone into the right position. Dr. Mew recently posted about it on his RU-vid channel.
That makes sense. I think this is why my face is asymmetrical. My left upper palate is higher than the right due to asymmetrical tongue posture (I've been putting more pressure on my left than right). So, since the right is lower, my sphenoid tilts more to the right side and is making everything on my right side lower.
@@sirkermitthefirstoffrogeth9622 bro we just need to release our psoas which is tight due to improper signal from brain, if you correct your jaw everything in body automatically shifts to it's right place
In my case, one eye orbital is slightly larger than the other. Amazing how that tiny bone, which is like a gyroscope? Effects that. Also in collapsed posture, its also the flexors have to do the work of holding up the chest while the extensors are not engaging.
IQ vs EQ most of us are trained to us right hand so the most of us have our right side of the face have higher growth compared to left side. You can relate this with men's abs too
no, we have heart more on left side and right diaphragm weaker, everything else follows, if things were different you would use other hand dominantly it's secondary effect
I want to take the time to mentions tons of male models, female models, actors and people that are considered very attractive have Asymmetry problems as well. Obviously they arn't that severe and most models/attractive people do have good Symmetry but it isn't a "death sentence". I've seen some photos of Sean o and chico (famous models) without any editing, makeup, bad lighting and my god they kind of just like normal dudes on the street. Everything you see on TV/internet is photoshopped and covered up, creates awful standards.
A lot of assymetry is also caused simply by teeth not being on the right place on your jaw. This can be the upper or lower jaw, but with low jaw assymetry like a twist its usually teeth position. Unfortunately, a lot of orthodontists don't know anything about it and just straighten teeth in the wrong position. If you ask them how to fix it they will tell you to get jaw surgury. There are doctors in America who do treat it. Look for a cosmetic dentist who looks at tmj and works with an orthodontist. They will put your teeth in the correct position and fix most if not all your facial assymetry. These things are usually not covered by insurance however so expect to pay close to 8k or so.
Would love to hear your thoughts on Botox use in the face in the context of TMJ and pain relief and also just reducing size of masseters for aesthetic reasons
@@smilylaugh3725 I hope he replies. I have had success with Neuromodulating medicine (Botox and xeomin) in the masseter and temporalis muscles which has over 9 months led to a big reduction in the size of my masseters and the visibility pf the temporalis’. Jaw clenching has been a huge issue and caused significant teeth damage and loss before a dentist recommended relaxing the masseters in addition to the use of a night time occlusal splint. Unfortunately that medical solution is extraordinarily expensive and must be unkept with expensive high dose treatment to continue to alleviate the issues. When I have gone for over a year without the medication in my masseters they have returned to strong clenching pressure and the masseters size grew back to pre-treatment size . Again causing jaw and teeth pain wear/tear. I do like the aesthetic outcome of reducing my angular jawline also but wonder about people that are doing the treatment for pure aesthetic reasons to make their jawline heart shaped and whether they are causing any negative flow on effects from ‘unnecessary’ muscle manipulation. It’s just an area of interest for me as Counsellor that guides mostly women that are caught up getting injectable medicines and start to lose their ability to see their own features with any objectivity (body and facial image disturbances or dysmorphia in the extreme)
Btw, your eye disposition is EXACTLY like Emily Deschanel (from the TV show Bones). Your left eye is the higher placed one but your right eye has more mobile lid space. In the vast majority of cases, the higher is also the bigger and more spaceful.😊
If you dont already have perfect teeth and a wide smile here is a GREAT advice; Use a palatal expander. I had some crowding and needed to expand the palate (which was steep) and now after more than 10 month its crazy what difference it made on the symmetry, somehting that was just a bonus although I was familiar with the effect expanders would have before starting. Some differences, eye brows are now way more similar and have more symmetrical angle, nose more straight, eye symmetry has greatly improved and are more sharp, cheek bones are wider and whole face looks healthier.
Interesting. I'm curious about why legs always get bent like that on the first example on the back: what are the benefits for the exercises in general?
How many sets of 5-10 second holds should you do a day? Do I take rest in between sets, should I do it everyday? Feel like the instructions on how often to do it was unclear.
Nice. What about TMJ APPLIANCES to re-symmetry the TMJ kondoyle areas by dropping the jaw on the heightened side, and moving the jaw slightly forward? I'm using that now. My TMJ joints weren't symmetric, one side ( i think the right side) was slightly higher...so I've been given a TMJ mouth appliance to wear (looks like invisalign but with a splint), and I have to wear it for FOUR MONTHS. The improvement in my body's symmetric function was actually INSTANT the moment I put it on! Can you make a video on THIS specific topic as well!?
So the device at the end how long do you keep that in? Something to do a few exercises with and then take out?, leave in for half the day?, over time you use less and less? Really curious to know more about it.
Heyy please explain me I didn't understand this video because my English is weak and that accent. My right eye is slightly low and right eye is slightly up so in which direction should I push my jaw???
@@simulatingme at 5:02 from what I understand, if your right eye is lower, means that your jaw is likely to tip more to the left side of the face. But seeing the exercise he demonstrated, it doesn't matter which side of the eye is lower, you just need to do the realignment of the jaw so that it will be more centred, and then the eye position will follow. Have you ever tried mewing?
I am curious if the Atlas bone at the top of your spine could have any influence as well. I have been seeing a NUCCA Chiropractor. What are your thoughts on this? (subscribed)
