DIAPHRAGM BREATHING is a complete game changer. Most people do not breathe properly (instead do shallow chest breathing which tightens up shoulders and neck).

It not only helps biomechanically, but also improves your nervous system function. The vagus nerve is a part of the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest), which is where we want to be most of the time. Chronic stress leaves us in fight or flight which can predispose you to injuries, affect sleep, wreak havoc with digestion, etc.

The beauty of this is that you can do this anywhere, anytime and it’s free. Happy breathing 🧘‍♀️🫁

How can we help with recurring low back pain? It’s not super simple and will take some work. But it sure is worth it! We only get one body 🏃🏽

Most people are aware that lifting awkwardly, sitting for a crazy amount of time, or a sudden change in activity levels can contribute to low back pain. But here I wanted to share a few other things that can be overlooked! It’s important to look at the whole person and the whole picture.

Sometimes pain has a simple explanation, and sometimes not. In the absence of a traumatic injury, there is usually a multitude of factors to consider! 🤔

Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps and connects every structure in our body. It’s the reason why if you have a neck issue, you may start to have issues with your jaw, upper back or shoulder too.

This is a cool reminder that parts of the body don’t operate in isolation!

A properly functioning jaw not only feels better, but can help with neck and shoulder issues too!

Sometimes our back pain has a directional preference. Although a thorough exam and professional opinion is best, try out these options if you’ve consistently struggled with back pain in these scenarios!
