There are levels of understanding to breathing mechanics... - YES, improper breathing patterns can lead to a host of issues including distorted neck posture, tight neck muscles, facial asymmetries, dental issues, and more. - Many online educators (including myself) talk about the importance of breathing thru the nose 👃 using the diaphragm. - The real question is tho…why is it SO common for people to NOT be breathing nasally using the diaphragm? - After-all, we are supposed to breathe this way naturally by default without having to “practice” or “think” about it. - So many professionals jump right to the surface issue (which is the breathing) and under address potentially the ROOT cause underneath the distorted breathing. - There are many possible root causes, but the biggest one is chronic stress and fight or flight mode activation. - When the body is in a state of distress it takes up secondary breathing patterns (too much chest, shoulder, and neck breathing). - Is practicing correct breathing helpful? Absolutely! - Will you have correct breathing long term if you don’t address the root cause? Not likely. - Have you had experience with any of the above 👆 stuff in today’s post?
