Who is this guy and why, after watching dozens of posture videos, is he the only one mentioning the ribcage involvement?! It seems so incredibly important to our posture. I have chronic pain in my left hip since 8 years. After watching some of his videos, and doing his exercises, I felt the pain relief for the first time. You can tell he's incredibly knowledgeable and also very good at explaining. Somebody give this man a noble price please.

You're a genius and what you've presented here is the explanation ive been waiting my entire life to hear. I can't thank you enough.

[PabloEdvardo]

You are literally saving me from 20 years of dysfunction that has made me borderline disabled. I've been watching posture videos for years and you're the first person to finally describe the kinetic relationship in a way that explains the complicated situation I found myself in. If I manage to recover, I will send big thanks your way.

We need more Doc & Chiro's that are as knowledgeable as Conor. I feel like doctors now a days are like fast food; giving you a quick fix rather than getting to the root of the problem.

Very well explained. I had an orthopedic surgeon blame my kyphosis on my scoliosis without even addressing my anterior pelvic tilt. Thank you for this...

[edmundoferreira-rocha]

Makes so much sense. For the first time I saw some one actively addressing simultaneously forward head posture, tilted hip and the problems associated with them. Well done!

I have spent the last 2 1/2 years expressing my symptoms and insistence that I’m experiencing improper/inability to both fully exhale AND INHALE to many PTs. I’m shocked this set of issues and clinical picture is not common knowledge in among physical therapists. Thank you for creating videos that address all of these related issues.

[martincattell]

I wouldn't likely pay for a personal trainer because I reckon I know more about fitness than most of them but I would pay you. Your in-depth understanding of human movement is genuinely inspiring.

[nelsontheseagull]

You are actually invested in the solution and not making content for content's sake. Bravo, amazing job

The quadruped position exercise is beneficial for me - I just started two days ago and for the first time in a while I can feel my side abs actually move with breathing . I didn't realize just how blocked my front chest was .. I have been doing the full rounding flexion version for a while and couldn't get results and I see why. Gaining more knowledge on my personal situation I can begin to understand whats going on. Thank you for this.. this is the first step to get proper breathing

I'm suffering with every thing you make a video of lol.
I've this along with anterior pelvic tilt..
Thanks a lot man. I was so clueless until I found this.

[LorraineVirginie]

Could you please make a compilation video that’s like a walk through of all the stretches/exercises to help with this? I watch these individual videos and think “ooh I need to do that” but since it’s just an exercise buried in a video it’s pretty hard to actually come back and find all the ones I wanna do. I would love like a 15 min video of these exercises almost like a workout video guide so I could just go through them all on a regular basis. Pleeeease!

[sanfernvalley]

Conor youre nothing less than extraordinary at what you do. You’re an inspiration truly.

[meepmorp]

It's maximum beneficial that you have a this demonstration Skeleton and actually manipulate it in space. Your videos never tire to be the most top notch source of information on this subject on youtube. It's like getting a Phd in understanding the body. On top of that, none of the judgemental attitude that keeps you from actually wanting to work on that stuff. You are great. Bless you

I am a nurse with a ACSM personal trainer certification. Your channel is outstanding! Kudos!

[idontknowwhatidontknow]

One of the best fundamental corrective exercises I have seen 👍

[sashd]

Similarly to many people on here, I have watched a ton of videos on this subject. This is by far the most superior with unique exercises addressing the problems. Excellent channel. Subscribed and thank you

[dvgupta]

You are a genius!! This is exactly the problem I have been facing for years. It affected my breathing and digestion. Thank you so much for sharing this 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[papayaman]

Been following for some weeks now, thorax was completly stuck forward towards the left andpelvis forward towards the right. For over a decade.... Been practicing the 360 breathing for 5 weeks now. Was very difficult at first, couldnt even feel the right side of diaphragm among many other issues. proper Breathing has done it for me, for me the challenge has been more mental than anything.

[jeanine]

Your presentations are the best I’ve ever seen. You are just incredible.
