That def does seem like me, so this isn’t a muscle imbalance it’s my breathing being messed up and having accessory muscles kick in too much causing neck tension? And ways to fixing this pattern is by breathing exercises if I’m not mistaken? Thanks again for all your help so far man I do appreciate it.

Breathing and biomechanics are intimately linked. That said, I would definitely advise that you stop chasing “muscular imbalances” as the cause of your issues. Priority #1 would be to restore the relationship between your lower rib cage and diaphragm (Zone Of Apposition) so that your diaphragm can fulfill it’s respiratory functions properly.
A 90:90 Hip lift is one powerful tool for doing this: 90-90 Hip Lift with Balloon - YouTube
An assessment would be needed by a PRI certified professional to assure that you receive the proper exercises. What exercises did Lance tell you to do and how often did you do them? Are you confident that you did them properly?[/quote]
Thanks I will def try this one later! He gave me a handful of exercises, one being the rockback and a few core stability exercises but gave me the key hint of focusing on exhaling fully.
What you’re describing does seem like it really describes me but from what I’m reading on the zone and all this anatomy is this seems like more of a philosophy from somewhere, is that accurate? Once normal breathing patterns are being used will it stay as such or will faulty breathing mechanics just come right back? Thank you
