As with any form of exercise, proper breathing techniques are a foundational element for success when using Trigger Point Performance tools and methods.
Deep nasal breaths provide a steady stream of oxygen to the lower lobes of the lungs where blood oxygen transfer is at its greatest. As we address key areas of the body with Myofascial Compression Techniques, this fresh oxygenated blood can successfully enter the muscle to restore pliability, elasticity, and fluidity.
Nasal breathing also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces stress and triggers relaxation and the recovery that is essential for optimal results when rolling out. Many times rolling on a tender spot in the muscle will cause someone to hold their breath which will limit the muscles ability to relax.
Begin each routine with a few deep nasal breaths to get focused and to set a pattern for the manipulation. You will become more efficient and experience greater results with each session.
