Breathing Tips - Part 3/6

An inverted breathing pattern is a term I created long ago as a young therapist when I had a large patient load, including athletes and people of all types, who came to me for a variety of injuries and health problems. When we inhale, the normal pattern of abdominal wall action is such that with inhalation, the abdominal wall should relax and expand so that the diaphragm has the ability to push the organs downward; this is an essential means of creating negative pressure in the lungs to draw fresh air in with inhalation. With an inverted breathing pattern, as a person inhales, their abdominals remain tight, or tighten more! This blocks the diaphragms ability to contract effectively, and stops the organs from being able to move downward with inhalation. When someone has an inverted breathing pattern, there is over-recruitment of the scalene muscles in the neck, which help lift the rib cage on inhalation, and other muscles, called secondary breathing muscles (such as the upper trapezius and levator scapuli) become hyperactive. This leads to a variety of cognitive, neck, jaw, digestive, eliminative and other problems that are often overlooked by doctors and therapists, and can’t be effectively alleviated without restoring optimal breathing mechanics. In this video I show you how to use a plastic water bottle with a little water in it to gain visual and kinesthetic feedback you can use to restore your breathing pattern. I also teach you how you can use a kite string tied around your waist to retrain your breathing pattern so it is optimal. These techniques are simple and very effective, and if used, can save you countless-thousands of dollars on medical expenses treating the symptoms of a faulty breathing pattern.
