NEW STUDY: Diaphragm and posture dysfunction related to chronic low back pain.

The StrongPosture™ protocols stress the importance of breathing (which is why Alignment 1.3, 5 Breaths, is focused solely on engaging the diaphragm). Now, a new study in the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy supports why training breathe controlled motion is so effective.In the video below, Dr. Weiniger discuss this study and how StrongPosture™ protocols can be applied to its findings.

OUR TAKEAWAY: The more challenging it is to train breath linked motion, the more important it is to retrain the diaphragm, one of the inner core muscles, to effectively stabilize the torso on the pelvic PostureZones.
