1 untrained muscle behind your rib cage could be driving your headaches, neck tension and lower back pain. Neck tension, headaches, and a stiff lower back aren’t always three separate problems. They can be three symptoms of a diaphragm that stopped pulling its weight. When the diaphragm shortens, your scalenes and upper traps compensate on every breath, loading the neck and robbing your trunk of its deepest stabilizer. The self-test and fix: 1. Hand on chest, hand on belly. Breathe in. If the top moves first, your diaphragm is underperforming 2. Diaphragmatic Breathing, supine, 10 slow breaths, belly rises, chest stays still Drop BASICS below for the Grade 1 Mobility programme. Four weeks of follow-along, $29, community and all. #Elastaboy #Reboryn #DiaphragmTraining #NeckPain #BreathWork
