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.
Diaphragmatic breathing reactivates your deep core and helps your ribs, spine, and pelvis move the way they’re meant to. It’s one of the simplest ways to release tension and improve your mobility.
You only need a few minutes a day to find out how such a small shift can create so much relief.
Feel free to download my FREE DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING GUIDE so you can start now.
So before you stretch your back again today…take a moment to start a breathing practice.
Your body will thank you for it. 🤗
