A client came in with a locked diaphragm and shallow breathing from stress, so we performed this assisted thoracic extension. By supporting her lumbar spine and applying gentle pressure to the upper abdomen, we encourage the rib cage to expand and release deep tension. She left feeling like she could finally take a full, deep breath. 😮‍💨 Send this to someone who needs to release their chest and back. #wellness #movement #thoracicmobility #diaphragmaticbreathing #posturecorrection #manualtherapy #assistedstretching #bodywork
