Mechanics of Breathing Part 3 – Exploring Your Rib Cage | Ep #217

<p>This is the third installment of my Mechanics of Breathing mini-series. In it, we’ll explore the rib cage, both through intellectual theory and a guided breathing practice. </p> <p> </p> <p>When we’re not breathing well—as a result of asthma, TMJ, obstructive airway issues, etc.—the body relies upon the secondary muscles around the rib cage to get air in.
