Boost Athletic Performance by targeting your diaphragm- Often the missing link in Core Training!

🏃‍♀️⛳ Whether you’re a runner, golfer, or athlete in the gym, your breath is the foundation of your performance.

At Soma Vita Physio in Watchung, NJ, we go beyond traditional core training. Research (Bardoni et al., 2025) shows that improving diaphragm function enhances core stability, mobility, and endurance—all key for athletic performance.

✨ The goal isn’t just belly breathing—it’s 360° breathing, giving you power, efficiency, and resilience for every stride, swing, and lift.

How do we do this? Through targeted exercises, Rib cage mobility and specific Hands on Techniques to promote Optimal Firing and Timing of your Diaphragm, NO COOKIE CUTTER THERAPY HERE

📍 Want to optimize your performance? Book a discovery call at Soma Vita Physio today.

Master the Hip Hinge in 5 Steps 💥
Stop squatting your hinge—do this instead:

Stance: Feet under hips, “tripod” foot (big toe, little toe, heel).
Brace: Soft knees, ribs down, light core brace.
Hips back: “Close the car door with your butt.” Shins stay almost vertical.
Long spine: Chin slightly tucked; keep ribs + pelvis stacked.
Stand tall: Drive through mid-foot/heels, squeeze glutes at the top—don’t lean back.
Quick checks:

Feel it in glutes/hamstrings, not your low back.
From the side, hips go back, not knees forward.
Stop when hamstrings stretch, no back rounding.
Common mistakes:
🚫 Knees drifting forward (that’s a squat)
🚫 Over-arching or rounding the low back
🚫 Looking up/cranking the neck

🫁 Tip: Exhale on the way up. Postpartum or returning from injury? Start shallow, higher reps, and build range.

🏃‍♀️ Hip pain during or after your runs isn’t just about “getting older” or “tight muscles.” Often it’s a sign of muscle imbalances and alignment issues.

👉 Common causes include:

Piriformis syndrome (deep buttock pain or sciatic symptoms)

Hip impingement (groin pinching with flexion or rotation)

Pelvic misalignment (anterior tilt pushing the femur forward in the socket)

💥 Did you know? Weak or under-recruited glute max paired with an overworked glute medius often leads to instability, pain, and overuse injuries.

At Soma Vita Physio in Watchung, NJ, we help runners address the root causes through personalized physical therapy.

✅ Top 4 Runner-Specific Exercises:
✔️ Airplanes
✔️ Lateral lunges
✔️ Lateral band walks
✔️ Bridge with foam roller marching

These moves target all glute fibers, improve pelvic alignment, and reduce pain—so you can keep running strong and injury-free.

𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗕𝗔𝗖𝗞 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘄𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴)! 🛟💪

After the July 14th flood, Soma Vita took an unexpected dip-but we've resurfaced with brand new floors and a whole lot of gratitude.

We’re incredibly grateful that Dr. Lauren and I were able to safely evacuate to higher ground. It could’ve been so much worse—and we know how lucky we are.💙

After a wild few weeks of cleanup and uncertainty, we’re so excited to finally say: 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗮 𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗮 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗥𝗘𝗢𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗗- 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 🙌

We’ve already seen so many familiar faces this week, and it’s been the best reminder of why we do what we do: 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲, 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 💥

Thank you for your support, your patience, and all the good vibes.
We missed you—come say hi! 💛

𝗣.𝗦. 𝗦𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝘆 𝗟𝗢𝗟🛟🏊‍♀️

Warmly,
