There is a synergy between natural or diaphragmatic breathing and postural alignment, cardiovascular efficiency, joint restrictions and muscle imbalances (flexibility, tension). Oxygen is a necessary element that helps sustain our daily activities and recover from it. Unfortunately, many of us do not practice natural breathing and minimize the negative effect on our health. Improper breathing e.g shallow, quick inhalation leads to overuse of the secondary muscles that assist in chest expansion for breathing. Overuse of these secondary muscles..e.g. chest, upper back, neck muscles leads to overdeveloped muscles and increase joint actions (shoulder,scapula). Acute improper breathing is evident with a tilted or forward leaning head, rounded shoulders and sometimes chest pains. These symptoms can be exacerbated with anxiety and stress and also lead to lower back pain due to postural misalignment.
