5. IS YOUR PRANAYAMA ACTUALLY PRANA-BLA-BLA?
OSTEOPATHS CAN IMPROVE THE MOBILITY OF YOUR RIBCAGE AND DIAPHRAGM.
In order to take a deep, full breath, your diaphragm (which is a muscle) needs to lower into your abdominal region, and your ribs (which have 2 to 3 joints each, and are surrounded by muscle) need to be able to MOVE.
The benefits of proper breathing include:
* lower stress levels
* higher metabolism
* better circulation, and more!
Posture, accidents, lifestyle, etc. can all reduce the mobility of your thorax.
Osteopaths can help you by:
* finding and releasing areas of tension around your thorax to get those lungs open, expanding and ready for action
