It was a revelation for my mentor and teacher to mention how her views have changed from the ever common "belly breathing" cue to now "ribcage breathing." When we focus the breath around the ribs, naturally the belly becomes soft and receptive. By focusing on the ribcage when we do our breathwork, the diaphragm muscle too gets a juicy exercise, and afterall it is the diaphragm that is responsible for our deep belly breaths. I hope you enjoy this practice. Till next time, big love! Steph xx Binaural beats by Listening Well Music.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back, friends!   If there's a con-ed course, Shaun has taken it.  He quickly realized that most weekend courses and certification systems don't do a great job of bridging the gap between the content and high performance.  Shaun is passionate about two things when it comes to controversial topics in rehab like the ribcage and respiration: 1) giving it more context and 2) helping clinicians connect the dots between these topics and performance so they don't “throw the baby out with the bath water.” CALU FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/calucommunity/

In this week's episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about getting that lateral breath in your rib cage. We've done a lot of talking on breathing, but today I want you to check your rib cage and see if you have a barrel chest or a compact ribcage. You have to know that having either affects your breathing. In this episode we discuss:[00:37] Introduction to the topic[3:13] Intercostal expansion breathing[4:39] The proper breathing for the newly postpartum or those who are barrel-chested[6:52] The proper breathing for those who have compact ribcages[9:32] Not being stuck in being barrel-chested or having a compact ribcage[11:18] One way to know if you have a rib flare or the narrowing of the rib cage[12:08] Asymmetry of the rib cage[12:48] Conclusion If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram.

Today we premiere a track from dance music royalty, Dubfire. With a career spanning over 3 decades, the DJ and producer has won respect of dance music fans and colleagues all over the globe, known for producing a deep and dubby techno sound. Dubfire returns to his routes on ‘CHLLNGR 1.2' as he supplies sunrise dub techno locked groove. Dubfire is known across the globe for his work across a multitude of genres spanning across house, techno, progressive, trance and more, creating a one of the most exceptional careers in modern dance muisc. Some of his most remarkable work came as half of the Grammy award (2001) winning duo Deep Dish, before embarking on a truly groundbreaking solo career in 2007, Dubfire has a career filled with timeless tracks include his early works ‘Ribcage', ‘Emissions, ‘Roadkill' and the highly acclaimed ‘Exit' with Kiss Kitten. Collaborative work highlights include Luke Slater, Moscoman, Oliver Huntemann, Chris Liebing, Tiga and co-producing two tracks on the legendary Underworld's ‘Barking' album. This year he finally releases his debut album ‘EVOLV'. An 11-track visionary into the mind of Dubfire to be released on his long-standing label SCI+TEC. EVOLV's concept? The journey of the ‘hybrid' being and its evolution since its first appearance in 2015, as part of his two-year World tour following the release of his retrospective release ‘A Decade Of Dubfire'. ‘CHALLNGR 1.1' is perhaps the most contemporary track on the album. Dubfire picks up the rhythm for a full-on dancefloor focused track. It's no-nonsense techno at its best, with heaps of pure energy. Two versions appear on the album, ‘CHALLNGR 1.2' retains the BPM but reigns in the percussion with a snappier approach and a more euphoric warped effect.

Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them! In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about passive stretching after a gym workout, foot cramps, hamstring spasms, and diaphragm cramps, and proper rib cage placement for breathing well. Your questions:* What should you do after a gym workout instead of passive stretching, if you're already doing LYT yoga every day? * I have a question about a student. She's almost 70 but super fit. She weight trains regularly with a personal trainer, and has been practicing yoga for 20 years. She has arthritic knees, has had two children, and is diabetic. But overall, she's very mobile, eats, grows a lot of veggies, and enjoys exercise. She's been coming to my classes for over two years, mostly recently in-person versus Zoom. I found out that she's been having foot cramps, hamstring spasms, and diaphragm cramps for a few years now, usually when she's active. In my class yesterday she experienced hamstring spasms during bridge and in reverse table. She took some breaks and they went away. But I felt sad to see her in pain during class. She says her toes will curl towards the plantar side of her foot. Sometimes the anterior aspect of her diaphragm cramps, she pointed to the left side, sometimes when she does forward bends. Her hamstring cramps when she does bridge and hip thrusts in reverse table. I did notice that she does tend to have an anterior pelvic tilt when in bridge and in reverse table. She's been to massage therapists, chiropractors, PTs, and nutritionists who, by the way, recommended potassium and magnesium, none of which has really helped. She thinks it's just part of getting older. I recommended that she see a pelvic floor physio. I know that the arches of the feet, pelvic floor and diaphragm are related. And the hamstrings originate from the SIT bones. So I think the pelvic floor might be the connection between them all. When I mentioned the pelvic floor, she said that's the only part of her that's working well and that she's been doing kegels for years, which makes me think her pelvic floor may be hypertonic. Any thoughts on this? Any other physical connections, recommendations for moves in my classes that may help, or other health practitioners that could be recommended to her would be awesome. * How do you feel about rib cage positioning, breathing, etc.?

By now, 32 Battalion had setup their HQ at Ongiva airport, a few kilometers outside the town, and 40 kilometers north of the cutline. But the Battalion was going to move their mobile Task force HQ further into Angola to Ionde as you're going to hear and the signs were all there for what would become a pivotal year in the Border War. It was during this period that SWAPO would be driven out of much of the area north of the cutline, which would have political ramifications for both SWAPO and the South Africans. This area stretching from the Calueque dam and Xangongo in the west to just south of Cuvelai and Vinticente in the north - then to Ionde in the east was secured by the SADF. 32 Battalion was going to concentrate its operations mainly in the north, around Mupa and Cuvelai. By now, 1 Parachute battalion was also established at Xangongo about 130km north of the cutline. If you recall, there was a friendly fire incident in 1982 where members of 32 Battalion and 1 Parachute clashed so from now on these two specialist units were assigned to specific areas that never overlapped. Despite controlling Ongiva, SWAPO continued to raid around the town. On December 4th 1982 a SWAPO stick attacked a small village south of Xangongo and killed one civilian, wounding four. Another civilian was shot in Ongiva in another raid by SWAPO, then on the 11th and 12th December two more contacts were reported nearby. Further to the east, UNITA had taken control of most of southern Angola stretching from the Kavango then almost to the . By January 1983 SWAPO had increased pressure further south, bypassing 32 Battalion and 1 Parachute and swinging around into South West Africa. Fourteen separate SWAPOs PLAN platoons of around 50 men each entered Ovamboland and Kavango by February of 1983 Then on the 4th February a larger battle took place between platoon 3 Alpha company and 40 SWAPO guerillas, at least six enemy were killed and four captured, but 32 sustained four casualties including a bizarre incident where Lance-Corporal Mario Oliviera turned into a living bomb. Ongiva had become a kind of symbol of South Africa's ability to take control of a foreign country's territory. At the same time, 32 Battalion's core officer component was concerned that they were not as effective now that there was such a large volume of SADF around the southern Angolan town. Captain Willem Ratte who commanded 32s Recce wing eventually had enough and wrote a report about this. He had begun to eye Ionde as a possible new base for the specialist battalion and said so in a report entitled Viability study for the mobile task force at 32 Battalion HQ, Ionde. While all of this was going on, the SA Air Force was planning a new weapons platform. A 20mm cannon was installed on a Dakota DC-3.

In this week's episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about acute issues and flare-ups that people have. This means being in a ton of pain and not being able to move very well, sometimes in the neck or the lower back. I also shared about what to do about these pains and how to start the healing process. In this episode we discuss: [00:35] Introduction to the topic [1:21] The first thing you need to do when you are in pain [2:59] The importance of breath work when you are in pain [7:23] Ribcage mobility and neck pain [10:59] Conclusion If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Lorena: Hello! You are truly incredible, I love your work. My question is regarding the adrenals. I am a 25 Vata and currently on stage 5 of adrenal fatigue (ongoing resistance). My tsh is functionally low and so are all my sex hormones (including estrogen). I'm working my way the destress protocol but I just get confused whenever I hear you say "the body is under stress and so it will produce more cortisol". Looking at thyroid for example, I know thyroid is reduced in higher levels of cortisol but in someone that is not producing enough cortisol because the adrenals are exhausted, this doesn't apply right? I guess my question is "can someone be on the fight or flight, if they are on the later stages of adrenal fatigue?". I would assume that since little cortisol is being produced, the body is not stressed and therefore not in the fight or flight?   Stefanie: Hi, before my question I wanted to thank you for and your team for all that do everyday. Now to my question, I am 34 yrs old and had my gallbladder removed a few years ago and from time to time I feel similar pain but to a lower level on my right side right under my ribcage. I was told that sometimes I can have stone residue on that duct between my liver and my now removed gallbladder. I have gotten sonogram, mri and nothing comes up. My cbc showed for sometime to have high cholesterol but I managed to bring that down. Currently I do macros with 50 g of fat a day and definitely seen a change in my overall health but I still have this pain. I do strength training 4 times a week and cardio twice a week, 8k steps a day. I also drink a gallon of water a day. I take omega 3, vitamin d, zinc, magnesium, and a multivitamin. How much fat should be consuming and what kind of fats ? I normally eat organic chicken breast, organic ground turkey breast, top round beef (which has lower fat), almonds, evoo cold pressed, avocado, oats, powder peanut butter, cage free eggs, some coffee cream and that's mainly what my fat sources are overall. I rarely eat processed foods, thank you.   Yasmin: Would you do a podcast on psoriasis please. How can we cure it? Without having to omit absolutely everything from our diet (which is what I see people do). Is it curable? Have you treated patients with skin problems like this.   Anonymous: Hi dr Cabral! I am a wine sales rep and so I have to drink for my job. I love wine but I get hungover off of one glass. Are there ways to support the body during drinking? I only drink a few glasses a week max but I want to make sure I'm staying healthy. Also any tips for preventing the hangover? Thanks!   Alison: RE: Hypothryroidism and Hashimotos Is it possible to reverse these two? I see a Dr. at Vanderbilt Univ. Medical Ctr. and he tells me it is not even a possibility.   Tina: Thank you for everything you do. I recently did the big five and I am working with a level two practitioner and I am so excited about my journey to wellness. I have a reverse osmosis under the sink water system. I read somewhere that the holding tank under my sink can cause the water to get moldy. So I went ahead and purchased a test kit that I took at home and sent off to the lab and the results came back telling me the below …. I'm not quite sure what to make of this. Is this water harmful to drink? From what I understand all water, from an RO system and even a Berkey will have some type of bacteria in it. The only pure water is distilled. Thank you!!! Total HPC Bacteria 580000 CFU/100ml SLR. Health Effects: Heterotrophic (carbon-consuming) bacteria include a wide range of relatively harmless microorganisms that are commonly present in natural water sources. While HPC is indeed an indicator of overall bacterial presence in your water, it is not a good indicator of health risk since many of these bacteria are not pathogenic, or likely to affect your health. On the other hand, coliform and e.coli bacteria, are well known indicators of pathogenic health risk. Common Sources: Heterotrophs are microorganisms that require organic carbon to grow and reproduce.

Two very powerful parts of the horse's body--the shoulders and the hindquarters--are connected by the horse's ribcage. If the ribcage does not communicate with these other two body parts, it is very difficult to create a fluid forward motion with your horse. On this episode, I'm sharing my methods for establishing better control of your horse's ribcage and how this can benefit your horse's body position in a variety of disciplines. Read the full show notes at philhaugenhorsemanship.com/podcast.

This week we're delighted to be joined by David Grey. We've been admirer's of David's work for quite a while and it was a brilliant opportunity to pick his brains on a few topics. in this episode we spoke about one surprising way he developed his philosophy on movement, the movement of the ribcage & the importance of exercise selection. He went into detail on a number of fascinating topics! We hope you enjoy it and would appreciate any shares and likes. You can tag David at @davidgreyrehab and us at @siseire and @james_fit_mcdowell

Can't talk to me? Then fine-tune your stack, fam! The stack is one of the foundational components needed for A TON of movements and for restoring movement, but what if you are struggle bus with this concept? What if you can't get a full exhale or get the expansion you need? Or maybe you don't even know where in the ribcage we should even see movement! Don't worry fam, ya boy big Z has you covered. If you want to beef up your stack, and your conversation with Zac, then check out Movement Debrief Episode 153 below! Watch the video here for your viewing pleasure.

The Difference Between Spinal and Pelvic Motion - This post outlines how to differentiate moving the spine as one unit vs creating relative motion at the pelvis. Ribcage expansion vs rib flare Question: With normal breathing appears should get expansion of all ribs, but yet With the stack it appears as though you should not allow ribs to flare out. So in a sense no expansion of ribs?  https://youtu.be/H4JS3IK0JnM Answer: Oh fam, don't you worry. I want them ribs to get #expandedAF. The key point here is we want to differentiate where the expansion is coming from. Ideally, during the stack, we should see multidirectional expansion in the ribcage when we take a breath of air. In fact, the following areas should expand: Buckethandle - Ribs will move outward and upward (predominantly lower ribcage) Pumphandle - Front ribs should move forward and upward Posterior expansion - Back ribs should move backward and upward Slight elevation - The ribcage will lift upward slightly as a unit, as the scalenes are a primary muscle of inspiration Slight depression - The ribcage will stretch downward slightly as a unit because of the pull from the abs. As you can see, the ribs move just about everywhere! This movement, however, is different from the ribs moving forward (aka the rib flare). Ribs flared AF :) With the movements listed above, you get relative motions occurring among the ribs. So the ribs will separate to make room for the increased air in the lungs. With a rib flare, we don't see this as much. Instead, the ribcage migrates forward and upward as a unit. Imagine the thorax translating forward. That is the rib flare, and it is often accompanied with increased tension in the accessory muscles. Compensations during the exhale Question: As a narrow infrasternal angle, I am going to be taking a long relaxed exaggerated sigh. However, I get to a point where nothing is happening or I actually feel like my sternum is collapsing inward causing almost an out of breath sensation. Any idea what this might be? We want to be seeing the lower ribs dropping down correct? What if upon an exhale they don't move? https://youtu.be/O9bYviWlk4Y Answer: You think you have a full exhale, but you have no idea. This is the diary of someone who needs help getting a full exhale. (gah I'm old) But don't worry, fam, it's totally common. Ideally, the deeper abdominal muscles compress the lower ribcage in all directions, assisting the diaphragm in full ascension. There are two big tells that let you know you have this position: The ab wall will get smaller, especially the lower abdomen region. The lower ribcage will drop downward and inward. If you don't have these two points, then a full exhale is not attained. The sternal collapse is a compensatory strategy to attempt to get this full exhale. Here, the rectus (damn near killed us) abdominis contracts, pulling the sternum downward. This can help create a pseudo domed position of the diaphragm, but you do not get changes in the lateral ab wall. You also can't get the complete air evacuation out that you normally would, as this altered shape change pushes air posteriorly and inferiorly, limiting posterior diaphragm ascension. Rectus damn near killed us. The worst! (Photo credit: Hitchcock, Edward, 1793-1864; Hitchcock, Edward, 1828-1911) To mitigate these compensatory strategies, we need to emphasize the ab wall getting smaller and the ribcage dropping. To get the ab wall smaller, the best way I've found this is to just utilize a self-manual cue. Put your hands right below your belly button, and do your darndest to get the abs to get smaller. The second point is the get the lower ribcage to drop. If you get the abs moving but the ribs don't, then you need some help. The Beatles got a little help from their friends, but you, my fine fam, are going to get a LOT of help from your arms. That is, you are reaching. Reaching is like icing on the stack cake, as it can promote the ribcage shape change desired by affecting the upper components of the ribcage. Depending on your infrasternal angle archetype, you have one of two options to start with. For narrow ISAs, you'll want to reach forward, as this action will bend the ribs by generating anterior and posterior compression. I like doing these unilaterally, with a move like a hooklying tilt with a one arm reach: https://youtu.be/-GwHrk0zmc8 For wide ISAs, an upward reach (around 100-120° shoulder flexion) can be quite useful. A move like this supine hip extension move can be a great choice: https://youtu.be/NIt5Ass84VQ Reaching during the stack Question:  What if the medial borders of the scaps were NOT flush with the ribcage, could then a reach at 90º be useful for posterior expansion, ribcage retraction, and getting those medials borders to find their nice cozy home along the ribs? https://youtu.be/jJAZp-NeZoY Answer: The big thing to watch on this lack of flushness on the ribcage is that it often accompanies the thorax migrating forward. If the thorax goes too far forward and you have lost the stack (and subsequently, the inability to talk to me), then you will not get posterior expansion. However, I've been known to manually pull the medial border off of the ribcage to encourage posterior thorax expansion, and it can be quite useful. Yet, it's really fricken hard to perform this action actively. UNLESS.... you create a relative motion between the scapula and humerus, aka scapular internal rotation. How do you do this? I'M GLAD YOU ASKED! If you can externally rotate the humerus without moving the scapula, this creates a relative internal rotation at the scapula. If you have internal rotation at the scapula, the scapular external rotators (which cover the dorsal rostral area) will be eccentrically oriented, which can allow for posterior expansion. A great way to achieve this action is by performing armbars with screwdrivers: https://youtu.be/EbgUI2jjN-4 Making prone and supine more comfortable during the stack Question: I find it uncomfortable in the prone and supine position for the stack. Any tips? Answer: If these positions are hurting, then there is an inability to express movement options, hence the increased pressure in respective areas. In the prone position, gravity is pushing downward, which can drive more anterior orientation. If your backside is concentric AF, then it may be that this position pushes you even more forward. Problems ensue. The prone solution? Take yourself out of the anterior orientation. This action can be done by either putting a few airex pads underneath your stomach, or even lying over a swiss ball. An airex pad underneath the stomach is s quick way to restore the anterior orientation. The same issue can cause problems in supine. If you can't reverse the posterior concentric bias, then there may be increased pressure in the sacroiliac joint and upper back. The solution could be the same. Placing a pad or wedge underneath the pelvis can help encourage the posterior orientation that you OH SO DESIRE! Side planks for the deconditioned? Question: When working with wide ISAs who are deconditioned and older, will you give them side planks right away? I worry about the shoulder. Answer: Side planks can be great for creating the lateral compression needed to make wide infrasternal angle presentations dynamic. The issue, however, is that you need to be able to produce enough force to get yourself into position. Otherwise, you are going to overload the shoulder. That said, you can still get the benefits of "side planks," you just need to regress them. Simply not lifting the body up in the air, instead pushing through the arm, can create a lot of benefits without as much load. https://youtu.be/b-m54cWG95s If that's too much, then you can bear weight through your hand like so: https://youtu.be/fHkQJ_IdwH8 If even that is too much, you can simply lie over a swiss ball to create some lateral compression: https://youtu.be/1j_9eJZRkDA Neutral pelvis or posterior tilt? Question: Neutral pelvis vs posterior tilt stack. Which/when? https://youtu.be/5PxboQFisRg Answer: While we cannot say what true "position" the pelvis is in, there are some indicators that can let us know if we have a good orientation during stack coaching. The key is to orient the pelvis in a manner that allows the viscera to bob up and down as we breathe; restoring sacral dynamics. Your key indicator that you are in a good spot is perception of the glutes and hamstrings contracting WHILE keep the pelvis and thorax stacked atop one another. If you have that, you are in a great spot :) Too much rectus abdominis during exhales Question: What kind of cues would use for someone who keeps kicking in rectus abdominis? Answer: The rectus (damn-near killed us) abdonimis kicks in when we can't get a full exhale. You'll see that when the following stuff happens: the sternum depresses the belly gets bigger the pelvis translates forward If you see these things, you can bet your bottom dollar that your stack is whack! Here are the keys to focus on to derectusify (technical term) the stack: Keep the exhale slow and drawn out Feel the lower belly get smaller Drive upper cervical extension Choose good positions that minimize rectus activity (e.g. sidelying for wide ISAs) Stacking during rotation Question: How do you ensure that you have a stack during rotation? Answer: The most important piece is to ensure that you aren't bending as a unit when you reach. Winging during front planks Question: If I try a front plank and the scaps are winging, what is going on there? Answer: If the scapulae are winging, the thorax is falling WAY too forward, which creates space between the thorax and the scapula. To create space, you need to push the ribcage backward while achieving a full exhale. Less air in the front, more air in the back. Too much lower back during the exhale Question: I have a client who uses erectors to complete the exhale. Any tips? Answer: You need to put the back muscles into an eccentric orientation so they don't create the exhale. Choosing some of the positions mentioned during the prone and supine portion of this debrief can be useful. Cueing out of overtucking Question: Any tips on client who overtuck during the stack? Answer: I usually start with this person arching their back excessively, then slowly unarching out of that position. This helps them isolate the movement to the pelvis. Sum up The ribcage should expand in all directions during the stack, not migrate forward as a unit. A full exhale should entail the ab wall getting smaller and the lower ribcage dropping downward. A reach can help facilitate a fuller exhale. Scapular internal rotation can promote posterior expansion. Prone and supine can be more comfortable by positioning passively into a posteriorly expanded position. To reduce rectus abdominis overactivity, keep exhales slow, ab wall small, and chin away from neck. To reduce overtucking, arch then unarch  

As you practice stacking your habits this week, I would love for you practice breathing while brewing your morning coffee.Breathing is so important for many aspects of our body not just mentally but physically as well.  If you aren't breathing effectively you can create anxiety, pelvic floor prolapse, incontinence, low back pain, diastasis recti, acid reflux, and other pains all from breathing.So today I would love for you to practice more of a 360 breathing pattern, think ribs should move like a jellyfish.  To see a video you can head to our YouTube page or you can also find it over on Instagram @raising_healthyhumansAlso share with us over in our Facebook group-Form Fit Moms how you felt doing this.  Was it difficult?  Did you notice anything while practicing it?Would love to hear your thoughts and always feel free to find us at www.raisinghealthyhumans.com

For many years in my training career, I only focused on training the parts of the horse’s body that I could see. I focused on creating softness in their face, neck, and shoulders, but I never worked on controlling anything behind the saddle horn. Over the years, I have learned that there are five main parts of a horse’s body that are all interconnected: head, neck, shoulders, ribcage, and hindquarters. Each of these body parts work with one another to create proper, fluid movements throughout the horse’s body. If one of these five areas becomes stiff or hard to control, that is usually an indication that I do not have proper control of one or more of the other areas. In this episode, I'm sharing my methods for creating softness in your horse's ribcage and why this exercise is so important for performance events, such as barrel racing and roping. To learn more about the exercises discussed in the episode, enroll in my Foundation to Finish course.

Does manual therapy have a place? Manual therapy is one of the more polarizing topics in the movement world, and no doubt you might wonder if this modality is efficacious for improving pain and/or movement. The evidence on manual therapy in isolation is mixed, but perhaps the modality itself is not the problem. Perhaps the problem is not having a model that can explain the utility of manual therapy, when to use it, and why. With a decision-making model, manual therapy is something that can most definitely fit within the interventions you like.

Maitland - One of the classic places to learn joint mobilizations Mulligan - His joint mobilizations are great, as movement is involved along with it. Is manual therapy effective? Question: I've been in a "structural integration" training program (aka rolfing), and can't help but notice that some prominent PTs seem to hate any method of manual "myofascial release" or which seems to have an effect on the myofascial matrixes and ease of movement in portions of the body.  Why is this? Clearly, people do improve from manual therapy, and while it is not the only answer, and can be better or worse, it seems to be wholly discredited as a pseudoscience, implying merely a placebo effect. But shouldn't there be credence to the case-studies, instead of picking-and-choosing studies with the intent to discredit contrasting strategies? To be frank, it seems like unnecessary bullying, as each professional seems to have a tendency to smack-talk other modalities. In short, do you think manual therapy (increasing "fascial glide") is useless or inefficient, or that they may be a synergy between manual therapy and coached movement? Thank you for what you do. Watch the answer here. Answer: To say that manual therapy is useless is a bit hyperbole. Although the evidence isn't definitive (what is in our field), there are a few different areas where it has shown to be effective. In fact, in hip osteoarthritis, manual therapy has been shown to be more effective than exercise (GASP!!!). To completely throw out manual therapy is potentially missing out on a worthwhile treatment that can help your supreme clientele. Chances are, it's likely more than a placebo. There are neurophysiological and viscoelastic changes that can occur because of manual interventions, and there are several other variables that we simply aren't measuring. For me, manual therapy plays a role in my care, with the intent that it is used to change objective tests meaningful to both myself and the patient. There are three specific instances in which I use manual techniques: As a regression from active exercise Symptom management Patient preference If a client cannot achieve the position they need to be successful (e.g. sacral rotation or a full exhale), you can use manual interventions to put them into the position needed, building context so the client can at some point actively get there. [caption id="attachment_13124" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Took me FOREVER to draw this[/caption] I also use manual techniques if someone needs increased symptom relief after exercise. Sometimes, a local input can help reduce symtpoms for a shorter period of time, allowing them to exercise more effectively. Lastly, if a patient wants to be touched, I do not see the harm in getting them the hands on contact. We are social creatures, social grooming is in our DNA, give your surpreme clientele a bit of what they want, then you'll have the buy-in to give them what they need! What manual therapy techniques do I recommend? Question: What types of manual therapy techniques do you most recommend? Watch the answer here. Answer: There isn't one specific technique that is going to lead to profound results versus others. You have to choose what you are comfortable with executing and which changes relevant objective measures. That said, I discussed some of my most used techniques here. It's a bit of an older post, but much of the framework remains. There are different methods that I gravitate toward now then in that post. Here is the list: Ribcage and pelvic mobilizations: Some of these I've gotten from PRI, some from Greenman, and some I've just made up. Joint Manipulations: Mostly spine and extremities, often for symptom relief and to gain particular ranges of motion. Dry Needling: I don't use often, but I do have some of my population request it. It's quite effective and can be performed fairly quickly Soft tissue mobilization: I've taken ART in the past and Dermoneuromodulation, which are both my top choices. The former for speed, the latter for those who are a bit more sensitive or acute in symptoms. Sometimes I'll just do some classic manual contact holds. Joint mobilizations: I've grown to appreciate the utility of these techniques more. I'll usually start passively, then glide into a position while the patient peforms the movement with me, and then choose an active exercise to reinforce. The Best Manual Therapy Techniques Question: Do you use manual therapy for example to release posterior lower compression? Watch the answer here. Answer: Yes. You can see many of the techniques I use in the video, but the major key is to use your hands to "block" the places you don't want air, which forces air to go in the places you oh so desire. Sum Up There is some research to support manual therapy and is particularly effective when applied in a cohesive model There is no specific technique that is better than others Utilize test-retest methods to determine treatment efficacy.

A comprehensive look at cervical biomechanics and exercise The Wu-Tang clan once said “Protect Ya Neck,” but how in the heck can you do that if you don't know the biomechanics?????? The neck can be quite complicated considering all the factors that influence it's dynamics: Ribcage position Thoracic spine Hyoid bone Cranium Temperomandibular joint OH MY! Yet despite all of these influences, there are simple, useful heuristics you can follow that can lead to favorable changes in neck mobility! Want to make the neck, cranium, and more ridiculously simple to understand and apply? Then tune in for Movement Debrief Episode 125. Here is a copy of the video for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

Bill Hartman - Without question my biggest influence. A lot of of the tests and concepts originate from his ideas. The armbar screwdriver with cervical rotation is a great way to drive posterior thorax expansion. You may not feel much of it within the move, but I've seen some dope mobility changes in shoulder flexion. The curl to press is a great move that helps explore neck rotation while respecting upper thorax mechanics. Reaching: Theory and Practice - If you've ever wondered how upper body exercises influence thorax mobility, then you definitely want to check this out. A basic overview of the infrasternal angle can be found here If a narrow infrasternal angle has reduced pump handle, forward-reaching is quite useful, like quadruped. Wide infrasternal angles benefit more from reaching at 120 degrees of shoulder flexion to restore pump handle mechanics, like the hooklying pullover. Introduction to Myofunctional Therapy Course Review - If you want to maximize cervical spine and upper airway dynamics, this post is a must! The smiling swallow is a terminal exercise in myofunctional therapy, and a great move if you have a forward head posture. The pointy tongue exercise is a great move to work the muscles needed to drive lateral palate expansion. Joe Cicinelli - He's a physical therapist and my go-to guy for all things upper airway. He helped me out after my tongue surgery Compensatory Movement Patterns - Check out this debrief if you want to better understand the hierarchy of what movement limitations ought to be focused on first. Here is an example of an occlusal splint (Photo credit: Mik81) Cervical biomechanics 101 (1:11) You've talked at length about the foot, pelvis, ribcage, scapulae, and spine, but how about one talking about the head and neck? I understand relative motions are supposed to exist within the cranium, but I'll be damned if I understand them! Love your work! Cervical spine's relationship to the thorax and scapula (4:53) What is the relationship between neck, thorax, and scapula? How does the influence programming for things such as forward head posture and medial scapular pain? My neck pops (12:52) What's the thought process for dealing with necks that crack and pop when you rotate them? Self-assessment for hyoid position (14:58) How can I self assess my Hyoid? Exercise to improve neck mobility (23:35) How can I inhibit front neck muscles which are in an overactive state leading to a forward head posture? Myofunctional therapy and the cervical spine (30:16) I've seen your tongue exercises on the YouTube channel, when do you use those and how do you think about those?  Does this relate to palate shape and cranial positioning? Wide infrasternal angles with forward head posture (35:31) How would a wide infrasternal angle get a forward head posture? Neck pain during headstands (36:15) In terms of unilateral neck pain in a headstand, what could be causing that? Cervical spine or TMJ movements? (37:45) What type of assessment would you do to see if the patient can benefit would it just simply neck rotation and jaw mobility, or would the infrasternal angle put into consideration? Also, would the exercise still be breathing base or more cervical stuff like protrusion that you used to do back in the day?  Armbar vs inversion (42:43) How would you differentiate between using armbars vs inversion to get expansion in the upper body? The connection between teeth and neck movement (44:54) How can an occlusal splint inhibit neck breathing? How do teeth influence neck position? Sum Up Cervical rotation involves motion all the way down to T4, the jaw, and cranial movement. Forward head posture involves lower cervical flexion and upper cervical extension. Military posture involves lower cervical extension and upper cervical flexion. Posterior thorax expansion is paired with ipsilateral cervical rotation. Neck popping during movement is largely benign and nothing to worry about. A low resting tongue posture can contribute to forward head posture. Treatment can involve teaching a palatal tongue posture. Hyoid dynamics can be assessed by resting posture and cervical extension. Occlusal splints can alter bite and cervicocranial muscle tone, but are not a long term solution.

Once singer/songwriter Danielle Knibbe earned the nickname "The Lyric Doctor" due to her intrinsic ability to channel human feelings through songs like an actual medical doctor. This woman was born to make you cry, feel and emote. Now Danielle calls Toronto home, but the musician was born and raised on in the prairies in Alberta, Canada. She knew that performing was what she wanted to pursue even as a young child. She discovered songwriting after attending the Edmonton Folk Festival at age 12, taught herself to play the guitar and started playing for anyone who would listen. Danielle also plays in a band with her husband, Connor Walsh and longtime bandmate Bryn Besse. She talks about what it's like to play with her husband - apparently they don't perform well together as a duo, which is hilarious to hear. We also talk about the concept of Ribcage songs, when you're feeling guarded and then vulnerable or heart songs. Danielle is kind, funny, empathetic and a blast to talk to! I really enjoyed our conversation and I took like a fish to water to her music. Hope you enjoy! https://americansongwriter.com/american-songwriter-podcast-network/basic-folk-podcast/ Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

(1:01) Hi Zac, around how long do you recommend for each of the three general steps (improving bucket handle, then pump handle, then posterior expansion) before moving on to the next area if a client is doing the relevant exercises daily or twice a day. The manubriosternal joint (14:34) In one of your movement debriefs about being stuck in a pump handle down position, you mentioned a bent manubriosternal joint. What is that, and how does it happen? How do you test for it? Treatment? I tried to google but didn't really get anywhere, do you have any links you can share? Thank you, Is "the stack" being achieved? (30:24)  How do you know if you are stacked properly? Addressing shoulder external rotation limitations (31:20) It seems like there is a contradiction behind the concepts of expansion relationships and length-tension relationships and/or muscle "stiffness," but I figure it is because I am just not grasping something fundamental. Let's say a client has a limitation in shoulder external rotation. This would seem to indicate that one causative factor is a lack of posterior expansion, in order to help drive the scapula out of adduction and internal rotation, and restoring a better relationship at the glenohumeral joint. But, if I were to drive a position of posterior expansion, which usually entails contracting the pectorals in order to compress the anterior chest wall, this might exacerbate stiffness in the pectorals, further limiting external rotation at the glenohumeral joint. So is it important to concern ourselves with this contradictory dynamic relative to the goals? It seems like I could construct a similar example with a lack of internal rotation, too. Is this because breathing is such a 'meta-system,' and it affects these muscular relationships more powerfully than contractions ever could, or am I misunderstanding something about these relationships? Immobile infrasternal angles (38:31) I found your point about the individuals with infrasternal angle range between 90 & 110 degrees really interesting because I have not seen this covered before. If you get an opportunity to expand on that group of people in future podcasts that would be great ie what is your approach with them. Thoracic sidebending (43:55) AWould you be able to do a question on/answer on how does the pelvis, thorax and neck reposition itself during left and right sidebending (left and right thoracic abduction) and how does inhalation/exhalation work?  Do you have to be in left/right thoracic abduction before the trunk will rotate (via an inhalation of whichever leaflet of the diaphragm is being used to inhale)? Sum Up Focus on addressing restrictions associated with reduced infrasternal angle dynamics first, then superficial compensation Spend as much time as needed for a client to learn a task. If your client is diligent, expect to change exercises every 1-3 weeks The manubrium is associated with anterior expansion at T2-4, and the sternal body is T6-8. Assess these regions by shoulder horizontal adduction/internal rotation at 0 degrees abduction, and shoulder internal rotation at 90 degrees respectively A proper stack is when visually the thorax and pelvic are atop one another Reaching without utilizing a superficial compensatory strategy is how to ensure the entire movement system because dynamic when targeting specific areas Infrasternal angles between 90 and 110 degrees are utilizing secondary compensation strategies. Redouble your efforts on normal respiration coaching Sidebending can be used to improve bucket handle dynamics and is useful to practice before driving rotation Image by  Nicolas Raymond

Breathe, and feel wonder creeping in

If you attend one of my clinics, you’ll hear me talk a lot about keeping your horse soft in the face. While keeping your horse soft in the face is necessary in most disciplines, sometimes we forget about the other body parts that are connected to the horse’s face. Your horse has five main body parts, and all five of those body parts have to be cohesive. Think about it like a piece of machinery. If one part is stuck, it usually impacts other parts of the equipment as well. The same is true with the anatomy of a horse. If your horse is not responsive to the pressure of your leg, it will get stiff in its head, neck, face, and ribcage. If your horse tends to hang on your rein and drift down the arena when you’re loping a circle, this is a good indicator that its ribcage is stiff. Stiffness causes a wide range of issues with a horse’s performance. In barrel racing, for example, a common issue I see at many of my clinics is when horses go by or dive into a barrel. When this happens, the horses’ hind quarters get strung out behind them and their backs become hollowed out. As a result, the only thing they can do to balance back out is to lunge forward. One particular exercise that I do daily with any horse that I get on, whether it is starting a colt or riding a seasoned horse, is to soften them laterally and vertically before they ever take a step forward. When I step into the saddle, I immediately reach down on my rein and tip my horse’s nose to one side or the other. While its nose is tipped, I keep pressure against its ribcage and squeeze my horse forward so its front feet follow its nose. If I’m going to the right, I will still have some pressure with my right leg, but I will have more pressure with my left leg because that leg is what is keeping my forward motion. I’m going to keep my right leg against that horse because I want my horse to ride around my leg and to flex its ribcage around my leg. I want my horse to learn to balance on its hind inside leg, and my leg is going to become the pivot point. No matter the discipline, achieving that balance is one of the most fundamental motions a horse needs to be able to perform.

It's a clear, expressive, multidimensional, and expansive approach to working with asymmetries in the body especially those caused by scoliosis. The most refreshing thing about her new book is that it's not just another protocol to follow (although there are plenty of guidelines), but a way of seeing asymmetry and making space for creating harmony in the body as it is. Balancing the body and the person within a well-designed and thoughtful framework of: 3 E strategy: ergonomics, exercise and emotion Movement acquisition strategy for teaching: imagine, think and feel3 elements/stages of exercise: somatic, corrective and conditioning And then there's a little about Keith Richards too!It's a lovely and unexpected journey.Listen. Ponder. Smile. Nod your head. Hmmmmm? down the road hither and yon. Enjoy. Share. Embrace your perfect imperfection.Itzhak Perlman is an Israeli-American violinist. Perlman said, “This has been my vocation, my life-long mission- to make music out of what remains.” This is the mission of working with asymmetries, no matter from what situation.I felt compelled to make a contribution where traditional PT and/or medicine is not enough. My personal and family physical journey found that medicine is not enough. I was exposed early on to the enormous task of healing, surviving, and thriving past catastrophic illness, through exposure to a variety of family members. In myself, there was no one to help early on in my physical journey.As a result I became determined to become more knowledgeable in order to be a light to show others that life can be perfect in its imperfections. I am constantly inspired by the resilience of others.In the past 5 years, I've had friends and colleagues in my age group, who were fit and leaders in their fields, die suddenly without warning. If I wanted to speak out, this was the time.More About Suzanne MartinFounder of Pilates Therapeutics - pilatestherapeutics.comAuthor of Spinal Asymmetry and ScoliosisFind her on Instagram @ptherapeuticsFacebook - facebook.com/pilatestherapeutics and facebook.com/suzanneclementsmartinTwitter - ptherapeuticsConnect with UsChantill - chantill@skillfulteaching.com + (707) 738-7951James - j.crader@evolvedbodystudio.comEmail us at thinkingpilatespodcast@gmail.com or use the form below.Like us on Facebook at The Thinking Pilates PodcastLeave us a review on iTunes.What We're Up ToCome learn with Chantill in 2019:March - Village Pilates, Chicago (Mentoring Salon and workshops)April - Humani Pilates, Sacramento, CA April 6th 12 - 6 pm, A New Path to Shoulder Health Kalijo Pilates, Sunshine Coast, BC (4-day retreat with Debora Kolwey)Pilates Beyond Boundaries, April 26-29May - Virginia/DC studio crawlMichigan - Details TBDJoin Chantill and James at Momentum Fest this coming June.Learn more and get your tickets HEREOur Episode SponsorThe Science + Psychology of Teaching Master's ProgramExplore A Whole New Universe of TeachingDive in to critical areas of teaching NEVER before directly addressed in a full-length certification program: brain science + education, humanistic psychology, motivation science, Polyvagal Theory + more.FINALLY!

Our players decide they’ve spent enough time not cutting people open! The only way to find the truth is in meat, like some kind of murderous seer.

Holding back a sneeze by pinching your nose while keeping your mouth closed may cause physical injury. In one such documented case, an otherwise healthy 34-year-old man in the U.K. suffered a tear in the back of his throat after sneezing while stifling it, by sealing both airways. He explained his neck had become swollen after he tried to contain a forceful sneeze while keeping both nostrils and mouth closed. Doctors who examined him heard popping and crackling sounds, which extended from his neck all the way down to his ribcage. Jeff and Anthony debate sneezing etiquette.

Our adventurers enter the suburb of Ribcage and try to follow the rules.

Our adventurers head to the Morguary and meet someone unexpected who is able to help them make their way to Ribcage.

Our adventurers finish their dinner at Slice and prepare for their trip to the Morguary to find a shell that will take them to Ribcage.

The companions discover that their mystery is more dangerous than they first thought. Off to Ribcage!

The party deals with the blowback from Bo Jingles' exhortative performance.

In the season finale, our beloved halfwits split the party again because, of course they do.

As we near the end of the season, the party is embroiled further in the situation at Ribcage.

Hosts Christian and Jim are joined by Chris Hosking, The Ribcage Collective's Co-Artistic Director for their upcoming immersive theatre production. It will be running at La Mama Theatre until September 11th.

On Thursday night I showed up at La Mama ready to see The Ribcage Collective’s new work of experimental theatre. The Ribcage collective are a collaborative group of young theatre makers from varied theatrical backgrounds. For a second year running they have written, devised and performed works of immersive, sight-specific theatre at La Mama in Carlton. Their previous show was described by ArtsHub as “an intimate theatrical experience enough to reawaken a childhood sense of play”. That sounded pretty good to me. At the beginning of the evening we found out the recent arts funding cuts had just forced the closure of Platform Youth Theatre, the organisation that had brought these performers together. The kind of theatre we were about to see – youth-driven, experimental – is becoming harder and harder to make, even though it seems essential that young people have opportunities ambition, funded work. The show was based around a new Australian myth written by the group. It followed a family through three generations and a lot of hardship – from earth to hell and back again. The myth was told by a woman dressed as the sun; a “very wordy sun” as my viewing companion put it. The sun was so wordy that neither of us were able to follow the story, although that didn’t necessarily matter, we were told, because the three acts that made up the bulk of the work were also designed to be experienced separately. The audience was split into two, each group led by a guide through three site-specific pieces. The stories were vivid, each with a unique sense of place and drama. In one, a woman seems to be drowning in a bath of silver while another woman looks on, calmly smoking a cigarette. In another, a brother and sister quarrel as they are trapped in their dead fathers home. In my favourite story, a young boy philosophises with his fish, only to find the fish has come alive and is gyrating on his bed in a slinky dress. All of the stories had a great sense of playfulness and surprise. Moments like the fish coming alive, or a woman being dunked in silver liquid, were thrilling to watch. The spaces – some more ‘traditional’ than others, were cleverly used. A hole in the ceiling of one space allowed the silver liquid to be dunked secretly, a decrepit staircase became a dramatic entrance way. Some moments in the piece did feel little heavy-handed. Metaphors were either obvious – a chain is passed from actor to actor ‘linking’ the 3 pieces together – or too abstract and complex to be accessible. “What did the silver stuff mean?” someone asked later. Talking to audience members afterwards, there was a general sense of confusion – what did that mean? How did the stories link together? We couldn’t figure it out. It was a relief to slip into the Q+A session afterwards and find a panel of enthusiastic performers keen to answer our questions. It because clear how much thought had gone into every element – the metaphors may have been confusing, but that wasn’t because they lacked depth. Hearing the performers talk afterwards somehow made the work as a whole more enjoyable for me. Their thoughtfulness and passion redeemed the show’s weaker moments. It was during the Q+A that I realised we were in the company of a school group: young girls about to go into Year 12 drama. They asked about the world beyond high school plays and the performers willingly shared their knowledge. It was the innocent being led by the less innocent, a charming moment slightly overshadowed by the recent funding cuts. One performer said “There aren’t many opportunities left, so you’ve really got to put yourself out there.” Another chimed in “but if you do, you will find people willing to help.” And, if there is hope that courageous youth theatre will not only endure, but thrive, the Ribcage Collective are certainly a shining example.

Ramdesh and Simrit have an emotionally charged conversation about Simrit's new chart-topping album From the Ancient Storm. Listen to the tracks "All of Myself," "Kal Akal," and "Dungeon of the Ribcage." Hear these two friends talk about how to stay authentic in a challenging world and how one of their mutual friends who passed away influenced the music. 

With Stable 998 behind them, the Mawlers say farewell to some friends, say hello to new allies, and head back to Ribcage for a good night's rest.

The Mawlers' second morning in Ribcage starts out casually, but trouble looms on the horizon.

As Javolt starts to calm down, the rest of the party get to know the movers and shakers of Ribcage.

Amidst revelations about Dr. Javolt's past, the Mawlers travel to the openly hostile wasteland settlement of Ribcage. (It's also our one-year anniversary!)

This week, we talk about Wipeout, Daylight Savings Time, and the taste of potato. It's a bit of a slow-burner this week, in other words.MUSIC USED:SSJ Theme 2: Xavier Rubetzki NoonanMama Says: Taking BerlinDon't Die In Yr Hometown 2: Antarctigo VespucciCLICK HERE to download!Email Tom or Xavier or both!
