The vagus nerve needs diaphragmatic breathing to function properly. But most people can't diaphragmatically breathe because their ribcage is too tight. It can't expand. The Postural Restoration technique demonstrated at the end of the video shows how to expand your ribcage with air so that diaphragmatic breathing can occur.

Hey there, my name is Neal Hallinan.

The purpose of this channel is to help people understand and resolve chronic muscular and joint pain, primarily through the discipline of Postural Restoration.

As someone who lived with chronic pain for many years of my life, I know how debilitating and isolating it can be. But I also know it can be resolved.

I hold the following credentials:
Postural Restoration Trained (PRT)
Strength and Conditioning Coach (CSCS)
Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT)
Amateur Historian (AH, my own selfdesignation)

I live and work in the great state of New Jersey, USA.

I offer oneonone training as well as online consultations via Zoom. The information can be found here:
