Breathing is something we often take for granted until it becomes difficult. Whether due to stress, poor posture, or underlying health conditions, struggling to breathe can significantly impact our quality of life.
Fortunately, Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST) offers a comprehensive approach to addressing breathing difficulties. Let’s explore how NST can help you breathe easier and live better.
Breathing difficulty can arise from various factors, including muscle tension, restricted movement of the ribcage, or imbalances in the respiratory system.
Stress and anxiety can also contribute to shallow breathing or breathlessness. NST recognizes that breathing is more than just a mechanical process; it’s a vital function that affects our overall well-being.
NST focuses on releasing tension and restoring balance throughout the body, including the muscles involved in breathing.
During an NST session, specialized movements called PRI-moves are used to gently release tightness in the:
-
Chest
-
Shoulders
-
Diaphragm
By addressing these areas of tension, NST helps improve the flexibility and efficiency of the respiratory muscles, making breathing easier and more comfortable.
Did you know that poor posture can also contribute to breathing difficulties? By putting strain on the muscles and restricting lung expansion.
NST helps improve posture and alignment by addressing muscular imbalances and realigning the spine.
By optimizing the body’s structure, NST helps with better lung function and effortless breathing.
