✨How Tight Ribs Limit Your Breath
Most people think breathing is only about the lungs.
But the truth is:
Breathing is a mechanical movement of the ribs + diaphragm working together.
When the ribs don’t move…the diaphragm cannot move fully.
And when the diaphragm cannot move fully…your breath becomes smaller, faster, and more effortful.
🌿 What Tight Ribs Feel Like
You may notice:
- shallow breathing
- tight chest
- neck doing most of the breathing
- sighing often but never feeling satisfied
- fatigue
- anxiety or “wired” feeling
- difficulty taking a deep breath
Because when ribs are stuck…the body compensates.
Shoulders lift.
Neck works harder.
Jaw tightens.
Breath shortens.
