Breathing like this causes forward head posture… - The body has one main breathing muscle called the diaphragm. - When we breathe thru our mouth we typically use to many “secondary” breathing muscles in the neck and chest instead of the diaphragm. - Overtime, this can cause overactivity and tightness to develop in these muscles which leads to forward head posture and rounded shoulders (tight pecs). - This drill today helps to reprogram the body to breathe correctly effectively addressing a commo
