❌Neck pain
❌Neck pinching
❌Neck, chronic tension
❌Jaw pain
❌Stuck in your sympathetic nervous system
❌Stress

A lot of neck pain, pinching, tension, jaw pain, head forward posture, even anxiety and stress has a root cause HERE.

⚠️Pro tips
1️⃣ Sit tall ( take out any wrinkles from your spine)
2️⃣ Use your hands to PULL your ribcage DOWN ( either in the centre or off the one side)
3️⃣ Then, staying tall, layer in :
-protruding your jaw forwards
-looking up ( staying TALL)
option to switch the order
also the option to side bend away and rotate towards your hands if they are on one side and not centered
4️⃣ Find a nice line of tension
⚠️ No pinching, cramping, pain, familiar tension allowed
5️⃣ Breathe IN
Quiet
Slow
Low
Nasal
6️⃣ Breathe OUT
Pull your ribs DOWN
7️⃣ When you come out of it STAY TALL
( no collapsing allowed)

These releases target :
Platysma
Sternocleidomastoid
Scalenes
Subclavious
Intercostals
Pec major & minor
Fascia

They stimulate Cranial Nerve VII
They improve vagal tone
Anxiety
Stress

They help you position your diaphragm.
( improve core and breathing )

They are tension relievers ❤️

Enjoy 🙌

Link in bio for PRI repositioning technique ⤴️

⚠️ humans are an asymmetrically designed system

Every single system in our body :
▶️ our brain
▶️ our nervous system
▶️ our respiratory system
▶️ our organs

💡if you noticed some asymmetries while performing my last technique….

THIS typical asymmetrical pattern as described by is one reason why.

🧠ALL of us are asymmetrical anatomically and cortically.

1️⃣We have a functional cortical dominance that pulls us to our right.

2️⃣We have a stronger, thicker, larger, better positioned, better supported, more powerful right hemi diaphragm that pulls us to our right.

✅ our right side has three lobes of lung and a large domed liver supporting it

✅ our left side has only two lobes of lung and a heart sitting on top of it that makes it harder to attain a domed shape

✨THAT’s A BIG DEAL✨

It affects every breathe you take.
It affects every move you make.
👌 it can actually be a good thing…

⚠️ the problem arises when we get to asymmetrical or we get stuck in this pattern.

If you feel stuck in a pattern, join the club.

You may have multiple patterns and layers in your body BUT ALL OF US HAVE THE UNDERLYING LEFT AIC PATTERN from these asymmetries.

Give yourself a quick reset and see how your core, breathing, shoulders, hips, feet, knees, neck…everything feels.

Link in my bio for a fabulous PRI repositioning class.🙌

🙏 thank you to .official for the amazing visuals of the diaphragm

You can’t strength train your way out of this one

Do you have a Max ?
Do you have a Jeff ?

It could be a leg.
It could be an arm.
…it could be a jaw 😬

One side that just doesn’t work right.
One side that fatigues faster
One side that is tighter.
One side that isn’t as smart
One side that lacks balance and control

💡FACT
Humans are asymmetrical bilateral creatures.

We are designed to be asymmetric.
BUT, when we get GET STUCK in a pattern
…. you end up with Max and Jeff.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT :
❌ strength
( please do not put turbo thrusters on this pattern by strengthening it)

WHAT THIS IS ABOUT :
✅ Managing internal pressures
✅ Alignment
✅ Joint positioning
✅ Muscle patterns ( inhibition/facilitation)
✅ Cortical mapping
✅ Your nervous system

✨If you want to learn techniques to target all of this,
▶️ check out my BUILD A BETTER B***Y GUIDE.
( link in my bio)
This free guide is a blend of techniques

However, in my experience, THE MOST IMPORTANT element is PRI.

If you are struggling, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you source out a physio, trainer, kinesiologist, chiropractor, osteopath, influencer, who ever you are following, who ever you are working with …

✨who understands and integrates PRI principles.

⚠️ Without principles,
you are not playing with a full deck of cards.
PRI is the fastest way I know to find your strength and relieve tension.

DON’T GET STUCK IN A PATTERN
Strive to maintain alternating reciprocal movement.

P.S. My story
▶️ I am the typical asymmetrical pattern ( left AIC) that makes us love, seek and compress our right side…
▶️ BUT I have “loved” my right side so much that I have now BLOWN OUT my right side with multiple structural injuries ( fractured ankle, ruptured ACL, hip labral tear and arthritis …)
▶️ so now my “WEAK” left side is my GOOD SIDE and I have trouble getting fully ON or OFF of either side😬

But I feel GREAT.
I am getting BETTER and BETTER.
I am ETERNALLY grateful for these techniques.
They keep me feeling good in my body and help me manage my patterns.❤️

✨This can completely change your experience of movement.

I want to introduce you to a highly sophisticated technique 🤣

▶️ GRAB & PULL

✅ improve alignment back there
✅ experience OPENING back there
✅ To feel SPACE back there.
✅ LENGTHENING back there

It helps teach you how to MOVE THROUGH this area.

❌This is one of the most common areas we LOCK DOWN, Hold tension and “Butt-gripping”

💡So ….grab and pull

You can do it in almost every base position you can think of.

Not sure what your sit bone is?
Sit on the floor
Wiggle around.
THOSE are your sit bones 🙌

If you don’t have SPACE HERE you can’t :
-hip hinging
-rotate
-walk
-hip shift
-p**p properly (it will be hard to get the kink out of your re**um and fully evacuate)
It disrupts your hip ( tight pinch hip ), pelvis alignment, pelvic floor function
and everything else up and down the kinetic chain ( bunions, knee pain, etc)

WHY is this so effective???
▶️ This area has a huge number of muscle attachments loaded with receptors.
▶️ Stimulating them changes the way your BRAIN maps movement onto your BODY.

Give yourself some space 🙌

You can find a bunch of these techniques in my Pelvic Floor Connection course in my membership,

Shoulder & ribcage opener

💡Want to increase MOBILITY?
Improve posture ?
Relive tension?

✅ ADD weight.

It doesn’t have to be much weight .
It doesn’t have to take a long time.

Check out this study :
Swank AM, Funk DC, Durham MP, Roberts S. Adding weights to stretching exercise increases passive range of motion for healthy elderly. J Strength Cond Res. 2003 May;17(2):374-8. doi: 10.1519/1533-4287(2003)0172.0.co;2. PMID: 12741881.

🧠 There are lots of people stretching out there but you don’t OWN IT util you add CONTROL and STRENGTH to it.

🥇ADD a little weight to your MOBILITY training

I LOVE THIS TECHNIQUE for cleaning up restrictions and lines of tension deep around my shoulders.
▶️ Side Lying Single arm press

⚠️ Pro tips

✅ stay stacked. The tension in the front is what allows for ribcage expansion and unlocks rotation. The block is not an ornament. SQUEEZE IT. It will help you stay stacked. The hips and knees at 90 and hand grip will also help you stay stacked and locks the lumber spine so that we focus the rotation where we want it..the ribcage. 🙌

✅ the shoulder blade must go back WITH your arm. Down and back.

✅ Emphasize the eccentric
Tempo 3:1:1
3 sec down
1 sec pause - take inventory ( zero point training )
1 sec press back up
* eccentrics are the clear winner for keeping your tissue and brain young

Base Position Options :
▶️ Hand position - out in front ( core needs to be dialed in) or on your knee
▶️ Regress - stay rotated and just press
▶️ Advanced - neck dissociation ( keep your head pointing forward)

Other ideas :
- cactus
- angels
- Cuban rotation
- halos
- swimmers hovers
- windmill

✨ just make sure you prioritize stability. We always care more about the quality of stability than the amount of movement in the moving part..

I have lots of ideas coming up.
Enjoy!

🥇If you struggle with back body expansion or rib flare
▶️ START HERE

This is the Stair short seated balloon from

This technique :
✅ inhibits paravertebrals, intercostals, hip flexors, lats.…
✅ is a tension reliever
✅ is an air flow management technique
✅ is a tool to restore your alternating reciprocal movement ( athletic separation )
✅ restores the piston that lifts your arm.

DELICIOUS 🤤

POWERFUL 🔥

How to:
▶️ sit on a step 6”
▶️ feet and knees together
▶️ tilt your pelvis posteriorly, round your back and grab your left foot with your left hand
▶️ breathe in through your nose and fill your back body
▶️ breathe out into the balloon completely...all the way out...then P-A-U-S-E for 3 seconds
▶️ 4 breaths x 4 sets

💡 everyone will need this on the left but do both sides and do MORE on the side that feels like it needs it more🙌

⚠️ Check the full YouTube video on my YouTube channel PRI playlist.

If you know PRI, you know we are trying to inhibit the left AIC chain by holding the left foot. Humans are cortically and anatomically asymmetric. We all have a facilitated left AIC (anterior interior chain). PRI will help restore balance.

Let me know if you have questions!

⚠️ Do you have a PRESSURE LEAK?

We’ve been talking about the importance of a full COMPLETE EXHALE…

⚠️ But if when you EXHALE

❌Your belly pooches
❌Your cheeks pooch
❌Your pelvic floor pooches

( this is especially noticeable when you use a balloon)

💡That is a pressure leak.

= You are not managing your internal pressures or getting your muscles to work together as a team.

You will likely find you have other areas that are locking down, gripping, holding tension.

🧠Sometimes you need to remind your body how to work together again.

This is especially important for the EXHALE.

🙏Just to be clear, the exhale is important because this is when your diaphragm is positioned so that you can use it for core breathing posture and stability .

it is essential that you learn to exhale fully completely, and using the right muscles.

If you and your body need a reminder, check out my free pelvic floor 101 class at the link in my bio

Or if you are ready to really get this sorted, check out my full Pelvic Floor Connection course in the membership
It is fabulous. We cover everything from rib cage and pelvis to your feet. Making sure you can support yourself and that your muscles can work together.

You can find it all at the link in my bio.

How do you set up your foot?

✨Your foot is your FOUNDATION

So how it contacts the ground influences :

▶️ muscles LOCALLY
▶️ muscles GLOBALLY
▶️ alignment of your entire BODY

✨You have lots of options

These are my TOP 3 foot SET UPS.

1️⃣ Tripod
2️⃣ Pyramid
3️⃣ Lemniscate

see which one works best for you🙌

⚠️ Pro tip
you also want to always keep your toes, long flat and wide

Try this out the next time you are standing in a lineup,, setting up for a squat, or doing my next few drills!
