This is the third installment of my Mechanics of Breathing mini-series. In it, we’ll explore the rib cage, both through intellectual theory and a guided breathing practice.    When we’re not breathing well—as a result of asthma, TMJ, obstructive airway issues, etc.—the body relies upon the secondary muscles around the rib cage to get air in. Listen in as I discuss the role of core stability in proper breathing, and how the rib cage can act as a bracing mechanism. I’ll also walk you through a guided practice meant to help you bring attention to your rib cage and its movements during breathing.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://www.functionalsynergy.com/217
