The causes of asthma are not yet understood but, looking at the symptoms and the mechanics involved, we can see how work which influences the nerves, muscles and global factors which can restrict peak flow. Global factors such as the rib cage being tightened down from a previous accident or injury or slouched posture compressing the abdomen: forcing the body to choose between breathing, retaining stomach contents and permitting the movement of food through the gut and more.

This is one of a series of videos we have made which draw on our years of palpating, influencing and encouraging change in our clients’ bodies to help reduce and remove pain, increase range of movement, mobility and much, much more, drawing also on observations we have made whilst doing handson dissections, feedback from our clients and more.

Each video is deliberately simplistic and aims to use simple language to help convey concepts and aid understanding at a basic and whole (holistic) body level.

When we say 'muscle' we are using this as a collective term for tendons, ligaments and any other soft tissue fibres or fascia.

That knee issue could be your neck, or your shoulder… That neck issue could be your foot…
Your body in normal use is designed to bend and flex and twist and turn.
It is when that flexibility is compromised, for example by an acute injury or by longheld tensions caused by habitual postures or historic injury which may date back many decades, that we may get presentations in clinic of pain, misalignment and restricted range of movement which can impact nerves, blood, lymphatic and other fluid flow, restricted mobility and more.

These issues may have been layering up over a very long period: with each issue leading on to adaptation, which in turn leads to further adaptation with the passage of time.

None of our videos constitutes medical advice in any way.

Anyone making use of our videos does so entirely at their own risk as no advice is being given herein.

When we see clients in clinic we provide them with customised advice based on actually having assessed them and that advice given is specific to them at that time.

We work entirely within the bounds of our training and qualifications. That training is an ongoing process with formal training courses, conferences, handson dissection, research and more and, whilst it may overlap with other therapies it makes no claim to be any of those other therapies.
