When we assess shoulder neck, shoulder and upper back mobility with our clients, we also
\nassess the way the person moves through the trunk and this often includes if the person is
\nbreathing well enough.<\/p>\n
The diaphragm attaches from your T12, L1, and L2 vertebrae and is tethered to the rib cage,
\nand internal abdominal wall.<\/p>\n
When you breathe in, the diaphragm actually descends down into the belly and when you
\nexhale, the diaphragm pushes the air out by rising up into the rib cage.<\/p>\n
Diaphragmatic breathing has a role in relaxation, decreasing overuse of the shoulders and neck
\nwhen breathing and helps to \u201cmassage\u201d the visceral organs.<\/p>\n
Rib breathing helps to expand the rib cage. Think of your trunk like an accordion. Breathing in
\nexpands the ribs apart and exhaling pulls them back in. Because the ribs attach to your upper
\nback and linked to your shoulder blade, mobilizing the ribs will inadvertently help improve your
\ntrunk mobility!<\/p>\n
If you have shoulder, neck or upper back soreness, call us and book an appointment! We will
\nassess your situation thoroughly, create an Action Plan for your progress!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
