To find the neutral alignment of your core, pay attention to your pelvis. When you're sitting, rotate your pelvis back and your chest will slump. Rotate your pelvis forward and you will overextend. Hold your pelvis in the middle of those 2 positions and you will have the neutral posture.

Thanks for mentioning this-I've noticed myself paying more attention to that today and realizing I've been slouching more than I realized.

The breathing technique is so required as I noticed people I have treated have shallow short breaths and the actually causes the brain to experience ANXIETY! The breath is intrinsically linked to our state of being - calm or anxious/nervous

Very sensible. And VERY good for singers too btw. As a singer I actually started doing the same breathing while lying face down on a block years ago in my twenties. Just figured it out after having shiatsu massage. Kind of adapted what they did so that I could do it regularly myself. But took it much deeper and it became a routine. When I gave up singing professionally I stopped doing it regularly because I got busy with other things and I took for granted I’d just get back to it when I had more time. Over time I kind of forgot about it and eventually hit a wall physically (and mentally) but I also lost the ability to even recall how to do it. I just sort of resigned myself to the fact that I was getting old (65). I found this channel randomly and am glad I did. I now know WHY it worked back then and that it was not just a fluke that it freed up the breath (and everything else!) Motivated to get back on that horse so to speak. Now I know there is data to back up what I was doing I realize I can get that mobility, strength and especially flow back. Lots of ahas. But if you’re locked up there you really can’t do much of anything well. That’s just a fact. Gratitude for your explanation.

@@Henri377 Thank you Henri ! I have been doing a lot of hauling, helping split, and stacking wood the past few weeks (for a wood stove... we live in the country and use mostly wood to heat the house in winter)... and for the first time since we moved here 5 years ago my hands and back are better than ever... and I'm probably stronger than I've been in years... blocking has really taken care of what in past years would have been chronic to acute back pain (and sore stiff knuckles... they're still a little stiff but NOTHING like they were when I worked this hard before) and it's surprisingly effective for dealing with stiffness first thing in the morning... I do it before I get out of bed... i'm kind of in shock actually ... I wasted a lot of years in pain... I have to admit that, right now, I kind of do it intuitively... I just needed permission and an explanation about why it worked... when I get more time I will enrol in the online classes so I can be more methodical about it but so far just following my gut has really helped... also had bought some beech dowels (about 4 inches in length and about 1/2 inch in diameter) for another project and they work perfectly between the toes... Anyway I was having a lot of trouble with pretty much everything on my left side contracting and getting very tight, including the start of Dupuytren's contracture on my left hand... don't know if I can heal that altogether but I can already see how I can stop it from going any further... it all makes sense now... Tissue salts and a few other supplements (including many forms of magnesium) have helped too (plus a spiritual practice... it all fits together)... but this has really been a game changer... it even adds to cognitive ability and eyesight... the more you flow the better you think... the more you work on your feet in particular, the more grounded and in flow you are... just my 2 cents but my life has improved... some days are better than others and there ARE healing crisis days, but that is to be expected...

Don't forget about breathing into the back as well. I'm having to relearn this after fracturing my spine a few years ago. Doing so with the help of a specialized Physical Therapist who's expertise is the spine and scoliosis.

Just stumbled over your channel. This video is so great. So wholesome / holistic! I did singing in a choir, Yoga and strength training/power lifting. In every of those activities your coach/teacher/conductor talks about breathing. It all makes sense in itself. But if you try to connect these cues, you could end up confused. I figured this out myself - but I am really happy that you addressed it. Thanks 🙏. (Subscribed :-)

Is it normal to have detox response from starting to do this breathing, even sans a block? Thanks heaps. I've been delighted to find your channel. As someone with a laundry list of conditions, I vet suggestions quite thoroughly before trying things, and your intel checks out!

Hi there, thank you for reaching out! Absolutely, it is completely normal to detox once starting Block Therapy. Even without a Block! This is what we call a "healing crisis". If you're curious to learn more on the topic, we recently released a podcast discussing this. I will link it here incase you're interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y32ukJV7btaef5osi=fXg9A08294SRrnnq

Starting at around the one minute mark, isn’t there too much space between his back and the floor, or is this acceptable when just relaxing on the floor? At 4:15 once you’re locked in to neutral like that, is that something you should be able to maintain and still breath properly for long periods? For example, is that only used for moderate to heavy lifting, or just for being up right while standing, and maybe walking for an hour or so for exercise? Tanks so much in advance. Love the vid.

Thank you so much for this information. I purchased your 9 day sampler and practicing rooting. I have right side pain from my shoulder to my ankle. I have been doing postural therapy for six years and I'm struggling with walking. I have been to a myofascial therapist and my right diaphragm goes into spasm when I exhale. I am tense all over and when I try to brace, I engage my hips and thighs. Any suggesting would be greatly appreciated. I'm 68.

Hi, thank you for reaching out! In your case, the calves and feet will be major cause sites for your issues. You can spend lots of time working the calves while resting on the couch, then standing with the arch of the foot on the towel. This can be done daily. Then, if you choose to move on to the Starter Package with Block(s), we would recommend using your free Membership trial to do the 21 day Pelvis, Legs, and Feet program in the Membership. I hope this helps! If you have any questions or need further guidance, you are welcome to email us at support@blocktherapy.com.

Can you practice the diaphragmatic breath while sitting? Try relaxing in a chair so that you are comfortable and loose. Inhale through your nose and let your belly expand. Exhale slowly and contract the belly to squeeze as much waste out of the lungs as possible. Repeat. Try doing this to a count of 4 on the inhalation and a count of 6 on the exhalation.

Tried and tried and tried...I think the term "bracing" is not good for me. As a previous professional dancer, singer and yoga student, I have experienced many different breathing techniques (not a beginner). I still think bracing the "core" isn't possible when breathing with the diaphragm, and visa versa. And the term "core" doesn't really mean anything.I think it's somewhat of a false concept. After working with experts on hypermobility and Ehlers Danlos syndrome, it seems the notion of a core isn't correct and can lead to much pain and even injury. What seems possible for me is to simply be aware of posture while breathing with the diaphragm. This guides me towards breathing deeply in three dimensions instead of insisting on bringing out the belly on the in-breath. The notion of "bracing" is too active and violent a concept for my body and doesn't allow deep breathing at all. It's really a question of what words we use. For me, personally, "bracing" and "core" are the opposite of what helps. For the rest of your advice : Many thanks !

It’s amazing how confused Uber been about breathing correctly… do we inhale and exhale with our nose - I somehow thought you exhaled thru your mouth

@Fluidisometrics 6 ай бұрын

Hi there! There are many breathing techniques/practices out there. We teach breathing in and out through the nose. There is a great book called Breath - The New Science of a Lost Art by James Nestor that is worth reading. It explains the reasons very well.
