Wow!!!! Amazingly helpful. I am a singer and I have noticed less lung capacity and just realized that the calisthenics and abdominal exercises I started doing about 6 months ago have probably introduced some tightness and tension into this whole area. So grateful! I am subscribing and can't wait to look at your other content. 💖
Started the big six and tongue circles 2-3 weeks ago. In 2nd week, abdomen seemed tense, heavy and had diaphragmatic pain. Abdomen is a sore spot in general due to multiple surgeries, secondary to hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos. I always knew these surgeries (for which I am extremely grateful) had caused problems with my lower.back. Now I know why. This pain was revisited along with the abdo issues last week. Settling down though. Will be adding this exercise in the near future. Thank you for your insight.
God! thank you so much! this is groundbreaking for me. I was not sure what to do, and now, I am fully equipped! you empowered me sir! thank you from the bottom of my diaphragm!🙏😊
I think I may have commented on another one of your videos, concerning my hiatle hernia. But I can’t remember. Until recently, I had no idea that a tight diaphragm causes digestive issues. It’s amazing how modern “medicine” over looks how our bodies function interdependently. This is why it is important to educate ourselves about our bodies This video was so informative and helpful. Thank you so very much 🙂
WOW. What a great explanation and visuals. I will need to watch this several times to have it a sink in. Having troubles with not feeling like I am getting enough air. Will listen to other video of yours. KCMary. 🙏😊🙏.
Hey doc, thanks! Its like we are connected somehow ;) as others who visit often. As soon as the questions arrive within, a day or 2 later you have a video out! Love you old ( and wise ) man!
I have been doing the kind of diaphragm breathing you describe here; ie pushing ribs out to the side for sometime. However, I wasn't aware of the leg crossover technique and I'm anxious to try that method. Age, leg discrepancy, left lumbar scoliosis that manifested 7 yrs ago, old fracture on L5 has created a gnawing pain that comes and goes. Following an approach of combining functional/medical health treatment, I began looking at some of your YT videos because the title intrigued me. It's 7 am on 11/15 and I just tried your pencil /eye exercise. Oh my, just doing that twice and the diaphragm breathing you recommend, helped so much!
Thank you for your videos......so thorough, so helpful! I am a new yoga teacher, helping seniors stay active. This information is truly priceless and will be very helpful! With thanks,
I like this Dr. Very much indeed his Wisdom knowledge and long experience and most of all Very Articulate videos are exceptional and Cristal clear so are turned off my Television for good !! and enjoy his delightful teachings..i have been studying many other modalities and microsystems I understand him well now know and his modality to consider ❤️🙏👍
Awesome, thank you. I was just shared your channel by a friend. I have asthma since a child & now supposedly have air trapping in my lungs from chronic LPR (laryngealpharyngealreflux), as well as a hiatal hernia. I have whiplash, scoliosis (torso brace for 2 yrs as a teen), hEDS, chronic nerve pain ... my breathing challenges are worsening & scary. I am 67, not overweight, non-smoker, very conscious, healthy cook/ foodie ... but I feel awful. My chiropractor told me that my sympathetic nervous system is ramped up. I appreciate your fascinating explanations & video teaching, & hope to learn & practice; change my health naturally. Do you recommend a certain type of practioner that would understand the diaphragm so passionately & importantly as you do?
No certain type of practitioner has specific training on the diaphragm. It just takes a practitioner that's invested time to learn about the diaphragm on their own because they won't teach you that in school.
How you do train your body to remember to breathe like this when you’re busy and have a dysfunctional nervous system? I need it to come naturally. I feel like my body has forgotten how to breathe 😢
Try phrenic nerve glide. It’s on yt and it helped me breathe easier immediately. Also dance therapy - move from all the parts that are hard to move. As gently as possible, with rhythm. Eventually it’ll wake up. Last night my upper back filled up with air for the first time in as long as i remember. Dance therapy but also somatic movement, TRE (Tension release exercises) - this one will CURE YOU DO IT!!), qigong
I'm creating a program to support people who can struggle or suffer with stress, overwhelm, anxiety, and burnout. I'm doing some research and wondered if you'd be interested in telling me about your experiences. Maybe 30 minutes if possible. In return for your time and experience, I can give you a free coaching session to help with some of the things we discuss. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks Paul
Most people i see breath from their belly. I was taught breathe from your chest. Seems it's right in-between that's the correct answer. Breathe with your muscles and not with your lungs. Feels very counterintuitive to me as it feels like this would strengthen my lungs doing it the other way as well
Takes practice. You should be breathing from both. How much depends on the task you are doing. For normal relaxation breathing belly first chest second.
Medical docs are only taught about drugs and surgery, not how to be healthy. No money with healthy peons! They do not make money when you use natural healing methods to reverse a problem, so they wait until it gets really bad so they can give you drugs and surgery. That way they have a cash cow for life. They are not taught how the body works and how to support its own healing abilities, as chiropractors are taught. They support big pharma and the western med cartels and their interests, not human interests! Their big bank accounts, luxurious lifestyles, and "god status" is what they are all about!
Doctors don’t pay attention in their undergrad classes like Anatomy, Biochemistry, Molecular Cell Biology, or Zoology. They’re just rote memorizers who don’t understand the body. Then they go to medical school and get their Big Pharma lobotomy to remove any last vestiges of actual science they were taught.
Thank you, Perry. I loved this video.! I have a couple of questions. When we breathe, a lot of people say you should feel your belly expand first . But since the breath comes in our throat near the top of our body, why would the belly expand? From watching your video, it makes sense that everything expands together not just the belly or the chest first but everything when we’re breathing correctly . Is this true? Another question I have is from a podcast that I listen to with you talking about massaging the abdomen . You talked about massaging counter to the direction of elimination - so going up the left side across and then down the right side. I always thought that we should massage in the direction of elimination, basically going up the right side across and then down the left side . Why would we counter to the direction of elimination and digestion?
Thanks for watching. Belly goes first because that's the diaphragm. Everything is supposed to move at once the keyword is supposed to. You go opposite direction of elimination for one round then reverse it. Free up distal blocks first.
@@stopchasingpain So really if everything is working properly the whole ribcage moves at once with the "handles" going out and upward together - so the belly moves at the same time everything is moving. There is not really one place that moves "first". Is that correct? Because it seems to me I can make the belly move first or the chest move first depending on my focus and intention.
Dr Perry i am having a lot of issues with my diaphragm is super tight I recently had a fall and hit myself very hard the right side from my underarm that gave a pain on the clavicle and also I noticed immediately that the bone from my right glute went inward and wmy knee and ankle outward and since that day on I haven’t been able to change my condition not matter what type of exercises or stretches is a nightmare because day by day i am feeling worse because my feet and legs has increased the burning sensation that was much better before the fall. If you can give me some advice please I am very desperate thank you
I'm sorry to hear about your injury but we cannot give individual clinical advice. I highly recommend you see a healthcare professional for a full evaluation
ive had this terribly off and on for 6 years. Docs cleared me and said it was anxiety etc. could this also manifest into the upper back of the ribs and the bottom left .Currently they are so sore! Breathing is so tight! Full of tension...especially when I start eating.
Thank you. I’m not sure if you’re going under the ribs or just in the bottom of them? Also when I expand, the left back ribs have a pinchy area and that spot hurts a lot and I haven’t found a way to release it so far. May be a bit better past day or so after kinda had some reaction to doing the tongue eye thing and somatic yin yoga a few days in a row. I think something released in my lower back and maybe it was too quick for my body and I just got so dysregulated. But today I felt better. The back and the part below the sternum always seems to move less or not at all in the abdomen though. Feels like everything I solve leads to a new issue that was there already but which wasn’t as pressing until the previous issue was solved. 😭 I did the rib sternum massage for lymph just before this and I expect to feel gross tomorrow but hopefully by thr weekend I’ll be better than I have been in a while. Certainly feels like I’m close to something but I never know really if there’ll be a crash back to where I was before.anyway, I’m grateful for the resources and I do think along with some other stuff that’s slowly making changes that it’ll lead to freedom from this body cage I’ve been in since I was a teenager
@@stopchasingpain will do. I think I watched most of htem last night. I just did the towel thing under the abdomen on the side and it was a relief thank you
Struggling to breathe properly because of head inflammation that won't drain and is spreading around the body! Would this help and any tips when your lymphs seem so bad? Thank you! 🙏💕✨
@@jackiek4159 oh I'm sorry to hear that ❤️ have you tried Dr's Big 6? Drink plenty of water after it. Also, celery juice!! Significantly reduces inflammation in the body. Look into the Medical Medium protocol. ❤️
Can thoraic outlet syndrome compression cause damage to phrenic nerve over time and hence cause my longstanding abdomen and upper chest, righr ribcage and down midline right side abdoemn pain. Its constant pressure and pain and tighntess and so deep it radiates to back. All scans normal and fine apart from compression of subclavian vein and awaiting surgeon review for surgery due to severe wasting and worsening thst physio wouldn't help. I am in constsnt flight or fight and have to really focus on not panicking but its 24/7 so takes its toll as get outbursts of wanting to lose it emotionally and mentally as its constant firing of pasrayampathic nerves. I am wondering if surgery to help thst compression and fix any scar tissue impringing on the nwrve bundle will resolve the dowanward pain into upler right chest amd abodmen. Any advice please

from my understanding you have to increase your controlled pause breath. it seems impossible to have a high CP with improper breathing.
