Breathing Dysfunction
In Review
Breathing is a movement, and like any movement it can be done badly. When the ribs stiffen and the diaphragm stops travelling, the small muscles of your neck end up doing the work of every breath you take — all day, every day. That's why the tension in your neck keeps coming back no matter how much you stretch it, and why your core never quite feels solid.
