If your neck, back or ribcage often feels tight or stiff, I want you to try something for me…

🌬️ Diaphragmatic Breathing exercises 🌬️

The thing is, most of us spend our days breathing up into our neck and chest, especially when we’re stressed, busy, or focussed on an important task at our desk.

Over time, this shallow breathing makes the muscles around your ribs (your Intercostal muscles) and spine (Erector Spinae muscles) tighten up, while your Diaphragm (the muscle that facilitates breathing) can get tight and less efficient.

When that happens, your body compensates - usually through your lower back, neck, or ribs.

If I had a dollar for every time a client has said to me “my back is feeling so much better since I started doing your exercises regularly”, I’d be a very rich woman! 💰💰💰

Now I know that when you’re in pain, it can feel instinctive to stop moving - to rest, protect, and wait for things to get better

BUT…

here’s the truth: movement is often the best thing you can do to ease pain and help your body heal..

Here’s something I’d highly recommend making a priority in your life: your strength & mobility…and specifically, your ability to get up off the floor with ease.
