lots of therapists and clients were waiting for this....thanks a lot

[shyft]

Well the Bradley Cooper example is pretty much all I needed to realise it's not a big deal 👍 thanks doc 😂

[guyfawkes]

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.

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!

[NotFoundIDontCare]

more, i’ve been searching for answers to this for so long and you are finally unraveling the mysteries thanks🎉

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.

This deserves a longer and deeper video!

I always thought Conor's face was super symmetric, now it makes sense.

[Unknownuser]

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

[damianzda]

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

In my childhood pic my face have perfect shape

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

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!

[nirinder]

wow 😲 who knew, learned something new today. Thank you

[knowen]

I really really love how you got straight to the point. Thank you!

[stephaniezorzetto]

You and Neal Hallinan are the BEST!!!❤

[scottbrandts]

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!!

[edmondprice]

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. ❤
