In NeuroStructural chiropractic, we often encounter
questions relating to movement patterns, movement dysfunction, and how to
rectify faulty mechanics in human movement. Many folks ask for these tips to
improve athletic performance, reduce pain, or to prevent injury. There are a
variety of resources available online and in stores that dive deeply into
various movement patterns including the squat, push up, crawling, etc. that are
very helpful. However, properly implementing the improper strategy will not
deliver the desired result. I find that the movement that folks are commonly
focused on is not the primary movement to be addressed, and as such it’s
important to highlight one of the most important and overlooked movement
patterns from a NeuroStructural chiropractic perspective – BREATHING!
