01. Neck and Shoulder Myofascial Release 🦒 SLOW FLOW
Do you know why when we are stressed, we have a tight neck and restricted breath?
Many reasons, here's one food for thought.
Phrenic nerve (PN) is the ONLY nerve in our nervous system that provides motor (movement) function to our diaphragm. It sends signals to the diaphragm to allow our lungs to inhale and exhale air.
Look at the image, PN is wrapped around the scalenes (neck muscles), when we are in our fight-and-flight mode, subconsciously our scalenes contract, our heart rate increases, our phrenic nerve isn't exactly happy with the restricted space, thus not too surprisingly, the signal that is sent to our diaphragm and heart is also less than calm.
It’s an endless cycle, you are fatigued with shortness of breath, shoulders are lifted, traps are tight, and the whole upper back is sore. 🙈
We really owe it to our body to find ways to introduce more love and softness. Let's reset this life force, and free up that throat chakra to sing ABBA again. 🎶😂
Breathe softly,
🤍
