The Thoracic Diaphragm is one of the most efficient muscles for breathing. It’s a large, dome-shaped muscle located at the base of your lungs. Your abdominal muscles help move the Thoracic Diaphragm and give you more power to empty your lungs.
Diaphragmatic Breathing (Belly Breathing) offers several benefits to your body including:
* Helping you relax.
* Improving muscle function during exercise and preventing strain.
* Increasing how much oxygen is in your blood.
* Making it easier for your body to release gas waste from your lungs.
* Reducing blood pressure.
* Reducing heart rate.
Diaphragmatic Breathing can also assist symptoms of the follow conditions:
* Anxiety
* Asthma
* CPOD
* Stress

Osteopathy can assist with nervous system dysregulation by restoring balance to the autonomic nervous system through osteopathic treatment. This includes using hands-on techniques to improve nerve function, release muscle tension, and enhance circulation, which can reduce symptoms of stress and anxiety. Addressing somatic dysfunctions and improving circulation, osteopathy can support the body’s self-healing mechanisms and promote overall relaxation and well-being.

Do you experience low back or pelvic pain after riding?
Have you considered how your body mechanics impact your horses body mechanics?

Your pelvic mechanics significantly impact your horse’s movement and wellbeing, as the pelvis is a primary point of contact and communication. Your ability to follow your horse’s motion allows for better connection and comfort, while influences such as weight shifts and asymmetrical pelvic movements can create discomfort, imbalance and inefficient strides in your horse.

Improving your pelvic mechanics through core strength and mobility can enhance your horse’s movement, performance, and even reduce stress indicators such as heart rate and cortisol levels.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all of my patients over the past week. Unfortunately I have been out of the clinic due to an uncontrollable family situation. Today is my first day back and I am working away at returning all communications. Your patience is greatly appreciated and I look forward to assisting you all with your health in the coming weeks.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER AND THE FASCIAL SYSTEM

Keeping hydrated is an important component in the health of your fascia.

Since fascia is made up of approximately 70% water, it is crucial to keep your body hydrated.

When fascia becomes dehydrated it loses the ability to slide and glide against other tissues. It then sticks to other structures and can cause dysfunction and adhesions throughout the matrix. This can cause pain and poor functioning within your body.

Sometimes your muscles will cramp due to dehydration and a burning pain can be felt if the tissue is creating friction. As fascia covers your bones, muscles, brain, organs and nerves, all systems in your body can be affected by lack of water intake.

WE’RE BACK! I hope you have all had a fabulous Christmas and 2025 is getting off to a great start for you and your famil...
