Postural Restoration Tests: Top 5 Reasons You Can't Get Neutral

Establishing neutrality in PRI tests is the first step of any PRI process. Passing the tests tells you whether your extensor muscles; the hip flexors, back extensors, and neck flexors, have been turned "off". They also tell you whether you are able to use your diaphragms for proper respiratory mechanics.

If these things aren't occurring you really won't progress. The reason is simple. If you can't pass the tests it means you don't have the ability to use the appropriate muscles due to the position of your body.

The Left AIC, Right BC, and Right TMCC, and bi-lateral PEC patterns are indicating that your body is positioned in such a way that you can't move and breathe without compensation.

Thus you won't be able to utilize your hamstrings, glutes, abdominals, and low traps effectively. Your pelvis and scapulas will not be moved and stabilized with the appropriate muscles. Your breathing will be compromised.
