2. 12 Common wrong breathing patterns
3. Four basic positions of respiratory pattern assessment
4, 5 items of breathing pattern change training
Why emphasize breathing pattern assessment?
In the last article, we mentioned that there are about 20 active muscles and auxiliary muscles involved in breathing exercise, and almost all of these muscles play a role in stabilizing posture, among which diaphragm, intercostal muscle, scalene muscle, transverse abdominis muscle, pelvic floor muscle and deep spinal muscle play a particularly important role in maintaining breathing and stabilizing the spine.
Once there is a problem with the breathing pattern, other action patterns will be affected. Therefore, all patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, especially those with unsatisfactory early treatment results, should evaluate their breathing patterns.
Respiratory pattern assessment should be regarded as a part of the overall functional test and an indispensable part of any successful musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Therapists should restore the normal subcortical horizontal action program through action training. In order to make breathing training more effective, we must constantly practice new action patterns in various environments, from unconscious mistakes to conscious correctness, and then to unconscious and correct automation of new action patterns.
What we need to pay attention to is that it is the fastest and most valuable evaluation when evaluating patients' unconscious breathing. When you pay attention to breathing, respiratory mechanics will change immediately. Therefore, when the patient's cortical attention is completely absent from breathing, and the patient pays attention to other tasks, the most accurate information is actually collected.
