Low back pain is one of the most common challenges people experience—and also one of the most misunderstood.
Most approaches focus on strengthening the core or stabilizing the spine. Others go as far as surgical intervention. But many people still continue to experience symptoms even after trying these solutions.
Because the issue is not always where the pain is felt. 🌿
One often overlooked contributor is how the diaphragm functions within the body.
The diaphragm is not separate from the spine—it is directly connected to it. It is designed to move in a soft, responsive rhythm with every breath, supporting the entire system from above and below.
But this natural movement can be influenced by many factors—posture, breathing patterns, tension in the jaw, the feet, or the pelvic floor. When coordination in this system is reduced, it can contribute to compression, discomfort, or strain in the lower back.
From this perspective, the shift is not about more effort. It is about restoring natural movement, coordination, and rhythm across the whole system.
This is what we explore in Breath, Posture, AND Your Pelvic Floor, a 7-week live somatic movement series with Cynthia Allen.
A gentle, exploratory approach designed to help the body rediscover support through breath and integrated coordination.
