Something came up in clinic this week that I had to share.

We were working with a patient who kept saying:
“It’s always my neck… I’ve tried everything”... I wasn't even sure why she had decided to book in (if she's tried everything and it doesn't work - ouch!!)

But here’s the kicker. When I looked at how her neck moved and how her rib cage moved… and where the tension was coming from - the problem wasn’t her neck at all.

It was her rib cage. And how it wasn’t doing its job!

Here’s why that matters:
🧠 Your rib cage supports your breath
🧠 It anchors your posture
🧠 It allows rotation, side bending, lifting, and reaching
🧠 It is intimately connected to how the shoulder and the neck work - or…DON’T!

When that function drops off — your neck compensates.
And that compensation creates a domino effect:
→ Neck stiffness, restriction and PAIN
→ Shoulder bracing, restriction, tension and PAIN
→ Tension headaches
→ Jaw pain
→ Rib pain
→ Shallow Breathing
→ Increased feelings of stress, or a sense that you can’t fully breath in and
→ Your nervous system stays stuck in overdrive

This week’s video explores exactly how this compensation shows up, and what it means for your whole body.
Watch for it in your inbox on Thursday.

We’ve had many clients recently, booking in because their neck pain keeps coming back, even after treatment, self massage, stretching or exercise. This is a sign something deeper is going on.

And we’re seeing the same pattern again and again…

👉 It’s not always the neck’s fault.
👉 The rib cage is often the real source of the problem.

Here are 3 rib cage restrictions that might be keeping your neck in a constant state of tension:
1. Poor lateral expansion
If your ribs don’t open sideways when you breathe, your neck and shoulders pick up the slack — every single breath.

2. Locked-down upper ribs
These ribs (1–4) should lift and move when you breathe or reach.
If they’re stuck, your neck muscles start acting like elevators.

3. Limited thoracic rotation
If your upper spine and ribs can’t rotate, your neck has to do the twisting — and it’s not built for that.

This matters because unless you restore rib function, your neck stays overloaded.

And I don’t want that for you.

✨ We’re releasing a new video on Thursday to show you exactly how these restrictions work — and how to spot them.

🎥 New video: Why Shallow Breathing Is Wrecking Your Neck

Your diaphragm should do the work... not your shoulders.
If your chest moves more than your diaphram and lateral lower ribs... or if your shoulders lift when you breathe in, your neck is picking up the slack.
In today’s video, I’ll show you how to change that — fast.

If your neck and shoulders are always tense, your breathing might be the real culprit.
In this week’s blog, I reveal how shallow breathing overloads your neck muscles, triggers stress patterns, and leads to chronic tightness.
It’s not just about posture — it’s about breath.

Quick question:

When you breathe in, do your shoulders move?

If they do, your neck might be working way harder than it should.

Here’s why it matters:
1. Your diaphragm should do 80% of the breathing work.
But if it’s not, the small muscles in your neck and shoulders start compensating.

2. Shallow breathing = constant stress signals.
Your nervous system stays in a low-level “fight or flight” mode — tension builds, and it gets harder to relax.

3. The more you overuse those upper neck muscles… the tighter they get.

It becomes a cycle… and most people don’t even realise it’s happening.

This week, I’m sharing a brand new video that walks you through this exact pattern, and shows you how to break it.

Because if you’re only treating the neck… You’re missing the big picture.

✨ Stay tuned for Thursday, the video drops then.
