Postural Respiration: Objectives

An Integrated Approach to Treatment of Patterned Thoraco-Abdominal Pathomechanics

Recognize structural influences and breathing patterns of faulty postures.
Design a postural isolation and inhibition program that includes the integration of appropriate dynamics of respiration.
Release restricted polyarticular chains and torsional patterns of the trunk through specific manual and non-manual orientation of ventilatory muscle.
Restore thorax-scapular force couples, rib alignment and abdominal-diaphragm muscle integration.
