While the 9090 with Hip Shift is undoubtedly the most popular PRI exercise, it does have some limitations.

First, it doesn't involve the upper body to a great degree. It mostly focuses on repositioning and initial strengthening of the pelvis.

Second, it doesn't allow much posterior ribcage expansion, a movement that most people need in order to maintain proper pelvis and ribcage position, movement, and strength on the left side.

For these reasons, hands and knees breathing usually needs to be incorporated into a PRI program to promote left posterior ribcage expansion, left scapular strength, and left ZOA strength.

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 selfdesignation)

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