LATERAL NECK ISOMETRICS

If you want to improve your balance, strength, and ability to walk better, you must
strengthen the muscles surrounding your cervical spine (neck).

A powerful way to improve neck strength is using isometrics.

Isometrics strengthen muscles in a certain angle and range of motion and teach your
brain how to be STABLE.

Lateral neck strength is super important for core strength and preventing falling to the
side.

This lateral neck isometric is an excellent and safe way to do neck strengthening.

KEYS to this exercise:
- GO LIGHT- you don’t need to crush your neck to get results. A little goes a long
way.
- Avoid holding your breath, maintain a slow and light breath pattern.
- Hold each isometric for 5-10 seconds for maximum benefit.

Build that neck!

LADDER BREATHING

If you struggle with balance, falling, difficulty breathing, or walking, it may be linked to your breathing.

The muscles your brain uses to breathe reside in your instrinsic kinetic chain.

This is the breathing engine of your body.
If it does not work correctly due to neurological disruptions, you won’t move well.

Even if you practice general breathing drills using one of the bazillion apps out there, it may be possible that your brain isn’t breathing as well to one side of your body.

Therefore, it is very important that we teach your brain how to breathe well on each side of your body individually.

A great drill for that is LADDER BREATHING.
In this drill, you will:
1. Lean to the right.
2. Place your hands on your left side rib cage.
3. Breathe in for 4 seconds trying to pull breath into your left-side ribs.
4. Pause for 1-2 seconds.
5. Exhale (breathe out) for 4-6 seconds trying to push all the air out of your left ribcage.

Perform 3-5 breaths per side.

When you are done, sit up or stand up and see if you feel like you are moving, standing, or balancing better.

It is common for these ladder breaths to act quickly to improve your connection with your body.

Love them!
