When you go from sitting to standing, do you know what should be happening with your breath❓ Inhale❓ Exhale❓ Hold it❓

Any time we load the body, there is an increase in intra-abdominal pressure. This pressure can be really helpful for stabilization, but too much pressure can cause problems, especially over time. When we inhale or hold our breath through movement, this increase in pressure to the system pushes from the inside out, working AGAINST the direction that we want muscles to move when they tighten.

Instead, we want to try to breathe OUT 💨 as we move into stand. Think Exhale and Engage through Effort! This can help to facilitate active stability instead of more passive stabilization from air pressure.

Need more help working on core and spinal stabilization? Do you have symptoms of poor pressure management, like low back pain, core weakness, pelvic prolapse, or diastasis recti? Our PTs are here to help!
Give us a call to schedule an evaluation today!

🌼 🌺 Spring is in the air! ☀️ But before you dive head-first into that
flower bed, remember: Yard work is a workout. Jumping in "cold" is the
quickest way to end up on our treatment table with a strained back or
aching knees. Here are three PT-approved exercises to a pain-free
garden season:

The "Green Thumb" Warmup ⤵️
Spend 5–10 minutes waking up your muscles to increase blood flow and
joint mobility:
--> Shoulder & Arm Circles: Open up your chest for all that raking and digging.
-->Standing Trunk Rotations: Gently twist from side to side to "oil" your spine.
-->Hip Hinges or Squats: Prep your legs for lifting by hinging at the
hips with a flat back.
