TIP OF THE MONTH: Add Breathing Exercise with Physical Exercise
Do you think about breathing? How about when you are exercising? Most of us don’t. Breathing just takes place without a thought. As mentioned in the above article, breathing is part of the autonomic nervous system that makes sure these kinds of functions continue without our thought. A study looked at how chronic neck pain patients breathed and if better breathing exercise could help. 68 chronic neck pain patients were put into one of 2 groups: one with breathing re-education exercise or routine physical therapy. The breathing group showed significant improvement in neck flexibility, extension, endurance, and strength of neck flexors and extensors. (9) Since this breath work seems to help neck pain patients, studies are now in the works for chronic low back pain patients. One that will determine how conscious connected breathing may help focused on how closely related the respiratory system is throughout the body and “bidirectionally related” to emotion, stress, and pain. (10) Another study will have back pain patients do exercise with specific breathing techniques and without and assess outcomes related to pain, disability, anxiety, sleep, quality of life, health status, and more.
