My personal Postural Restoration journey has consisted of eliminating many of my body's faulty stabilization patterns that was responsible for so much of the chronic pain in my life. The original problem was that I had an unrealized developmental visual problem. I wasn't using both my eyes equally. But as a child, I had no idea that this was occurring and no one else noticed it either. Apparently I should have had an eye turn.
In order to remedy this visually unstable situation, my brain had to learn to stabilize my body with compensatory muscle activity (it really comes down to the brain's fear of falling).
This compensatory stabilization came in the form of excessive tension in certain areas of my body. One such area was the base of my skull and my jaw, as well as plain old tight back muscles that created lots of pain over the course of my life.
