Hey there, my name is Neal Hallinan.

The purpose of this channel is to help people understand and resolve chronic muscular and joint pain, primarily through the discipline of Postural Restoration.

As someone who lived with chronic pain for many years of my life, I know how debilitating and isolating it can be. But I also know it can be resolved.

I hold the following credentials:
Postural Restoration Trained (PRT)
Strength and Conditioning Coach (CSCS)
Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT)
Amateur Historian (AH, my own self-designation)

I live and work in the great state of New Jersey, USA.

I offer one-on-one training as well as online consultations via Zoom. The information can be found here:

There are no videos with the quality of yours on youtube. Precious info given away for free, that not even physioterapists tell us patients during the usual appointments. Thank you for your effort.

I just stood on my left foot and breathed and 3 years of constant pain stopped. Neal, you are a wizard.

Man I'm telling you I've recently discovered your channel and right away I know I found something that I can't find anywhere else on YouTube, gunna start doing dance classes thanks to you. And I'm watching hours and hours of these free lectures you're giving here. Can't thank you enough.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and for tying all of these seemingly disparate conditions together in such an engaging way!!

[dmcgill]

Thank you for this. I have been suffering from extremely tight psoas muscles for a few years now, after pulling the illopsoas on my left side during exercise. It has been the worst injury of my life.

Neal, I’m a DO in Maine and your content is so great. Thank you. I’ve worked with a PRI DPT up here and it changed my life.

[hndrenghasabighaderi]

I’m halfway through and feel really excited I have found you and your tube. Thank you for sharing an in-depth understanding of the human body! Definitely gonna subscribe. Stay Blessed brother!

To me this also explains why living authentically is so important for your health and wellbeing. As is surrounding yourself with people that are authentic and unrestrained. What an eye opener! 💜

[etowfot]

Thank you for taking the time to share your wisdom. I love how you deliver with humility, knowledge and wisdom..
Love love love your work !!!❤❤❤❤❤

[lime-fifj]

I absolutely love this. Thank you so freaking much for being ahead of the game you do a really good job with that

[jfjdjdji]

This was super helpful. Somatic to the max. Comfort on a brain and heart level seems to be the key here. I've always heard in my spirit to dance as my exercise, and now I know why!

Neal, as a former biomechanical engineer and running athlete, you have reshaped my entire perception of my pelvic and shoulder issues and I've been in much better shape since. Could you make a video sometime talking about your specific educational path through your certifications of PRT, CSCS, LMT?

More specifically the order in which you received the certifications and how you made the decision to get specific ones? Not necessarily the inspiration or particular life events that led you down this path, but moreso how the path itself was walked.

Much appreciated.

[reneedebruin]

You are amazing! Thank you for teaching, helping and caring. ❤

[unityoflakeorion]

Well this is awesome! It’s interesting how the body responds to community ideals such as dancing, music, even by just viewing it! Thank you!

[SeanHutchison-gnnm]

Brilliant!! Such important, powerful information, thank you so much Neal. I notice even changing eye / focal position for varying durations, can have an underestimated, profound effect. I liked, I subscribed.

I watch your videos all day and the information resonates so much with my experiences, I owe you a huge thank you for the inspiration and support, and you are the first person I give a subscription to in my life. I have two years after the removal of the L4/5 disc with persistent paresis, mainly of the right leg, other problems with C5/6/7, cervicobrachial syndrome, but since the refusal of surgery in 2019 surprisingly very OK, but with symptoms of instability of the upper C spine, including the "pleasures" associated with n.vagus, dizziness, palpitations, panic attacks and repeated BPPV from the right ear.I feel much better in the last months, work hard again, I have a great need to dance, I always sing in the shower, even if I don't feel like it, I play music at night, and I often exercise my jaw - with your information it makes even more sense. :) I'm trying to walk more, it doesn't hurt so much anymore and I'm not limping too much and I'm trying my best not to live in fear of the future, I'm 42. With your tips, everything seems more cheerful and maybe my story will help someone else, or it will give you a reason to think about people with unilateral paralysis, in my case the leg became numb after compression of the nerve and at the same time became hypersensitive, stiff, often in a cramp, so I would be interested in how such the vestibular system adapts, hopefully for the better, even if I don't really believe it...THANK YOU!

Hey, I'm 3 weeks into debilitating pain. I'm a personal trainer and chef so this has been really really hard on me. Thank you for making me aware of where life will take me. I have a channel where I post about how I lost 100 lb & what works best for my clients.
I thought I just had sciatica but no, that is a symptom of my left lateral pelvic Tilt.

It sucks starting from square 1 again & again but your channel has given me so much confidence in this area. I'm about to start watching all of your videos.

My 90 day transformation starts March 1st. The program has gone from getting ripped to being able to walk - pain free.

What a paradigm shift I am going through once again.

I'll try not to be a 'psoas' about the hand I've been dealt ;) lol

Hi, Neal! Thanks for sharing all you know! I just discovered your channel yesterday and it's what I been looking for for a long time. I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 18, now I'm 32 and they told that I'd never be able to heal. That's about to see yet. I've been spending the last few years paying a lot of attention to my body, and I discovered many things, muscular tension, bad tongue position, bad swallowing pattern. I'm working on everything I can haha. What caught my attention the most about your videos is this thing about the right preference of the body, I think my body is twisted to the right and I remember trying to correct that for many years just trying to change the way I do my domestic chores and even gotten to think that my house was designed for me to opt for always going to the right hahaha. I started writing with my left hand two years ago and trying to do everything I do with the right part of my body also with the left, like whisking when cooking or rolling my hips while I dance. I'll continue and add the exercises you propose in your channel. Thanks for enlightening the world.

This is some crazy information!!! Thank you so much for putting videos out like these. It helps so many people in ways you can’t imagine.

[shirleyclemmer]

Wow! I just stumbled onto this video. I’m 84 and I’ve been trying to connect the dots for more than 20 yrs. It’s myoclonus that shows up in the abdominal area. My muscles contract and release at the rate of two times per second…no exaggeration. A drug calmed it down to once per second but it won’t stop without Valium. This brings me hope….if my old brain can take it in and remember. Thank you so much!❤️
