Standing Wall Supported reach for core & breathing

Standing Wall Supported reach
This is another fabulous way to improve core and breathing.
Specifically to help you :
- position your thoracic diaphragm optimally (ZOA)
- expand and open your posterior mediastinum (back body) which is so often compressed in modern day humans and prevents optimal core and breathing.
(See my previous posts for regressions and other ideas to improve this)
In this post I give 2 options
1) not using a chair - more advanced - your abs have to position your ribcage without serratus
2) using a chair - this brings in Serratus Anterior and makes it easier for you to connect to your abs ( like training wheels)
PRO TIP
when you breathe out
-think about breathing from the bottom up to avoid gripping with upper abdominals and the “hourglass” strategy
-make it full complete and long through the mouth
when you breathe in :
-try to expand maximally in the back body and posterior mediastinum
when you reach :
-think about it being more about the ribs coming back into the wall not the arms coming forward
Happy moving and breathing everyone!

I love how you guide the PRI exercises! I find them so easy to follow and they are so well broken down.

Im definitely a pri patient! I'm having the hardest time getting neutral. I have the paperwork for prime but I just haven't filled it out yet because even though I'm not neutral I'm making progress. I've never been neutral with a therapist but have gotten it a few times. These techniques are extremely hard! My question is I'm not getting neutral per pri testing but I'm definitely coming off my neck and accessory breathing. When I am at rest, I am belly breathing. Is that diaphragmatic breathing? Even though I am belly breathing my left ribs are still flaired, I just haven't made the connection yet. the only way I can feel them is hip shifting but I can't keep them down after. I know when I have my left side because my shoulder is better and my neck is released. I'm just not ready to progress though because even this technique is so hard to do. This video was extremely helpful because I did flip my left pelvis over and I took a few steps but I felt like I had stick legs because I was extremely wobbly lol. Obviously I didn't keep it but for a few steps. My only question is belly breathing diaphragmatic breathing? Because pri teaches to expand the ribcage when breathing but when I'm at rest for example laying in bed only my belly is moving. Is that bad?

I’ve been trying this exercise a few times a day now and still can’t feel the proper expansion in my back

Maybe get a massage to release tight muscles
