Learn to use your neck for upper ribcage breathing | The MSK Physio *Excerpt from 'Breathing for activity' - https://themusculoskeletalclinic.co.n... Upper ribcage breathing is an important region to have capability in. Unfortunately, movement here gets a reputation as a ‘dysfunctional’ breathing pattern, or ‘the wrong way to breath’ across a broad spectrum of populations (1). While breathing patterns may be more relevant in respiratory pathologies, in terms of those with musculoskeletal pain, breathing patterns may only be clinically relevant in those with neck pain (2,3). In a sample of 111 people with varying ages and ethnicities, dysfunctional breathing was not found to strongly correlate with other previous or concurrent musculoskeletal pain (2).......... .........During activity, there is a coordinated action of the upper and lower regions which maintains ribcage symmetry. This allows for ideal internal pressure during steady-state exercise (5). It is theorised that lack of homeostasis within regions will lead to stiffening of the ribcage and reduced efficiency of breathing mechanics (5). This has been shown in a small study with an obvious external thoracic restriction of a corset (7). During workloads of 60-70% max heart rate, there were significant increases in respiratory rate, subjective breathing discomfort and the volume of air breathed per minute. So, as always, what is the solution? We must train the skill that a region is capable of, then integrate into the activities that require coordination with other regions. In this context we need to restore upper ribcage breathing and not attempt to isolate it from lower ribcage movement. Ultimately, efficiency of movement is the key here.
