Breathing creates your posture.
Did you know that mouth breathing is an adaption? We are not designed to breathe through the mouth in normal situations.
Mouth breathing distorts the skeletal system.
Mouth-breathing is a common clinical condition among school-age children and some studies have correlated this condition with quality of life and postural alterations.
One central factor in this picture is the tongue. When you learn that the tongue is the ‘rudder’ to hold the cervical spine straight, then it helps you to build straight, nasal breathing posture.
When the tongue is sealed to the roof of the mouth, and this means the back part of the tongue, it seals the oral cavity, and holds the throat open like a tent. These are the muscles that support the neck, hold your posture straight, help you breathe, and maintain your posture for life.
Do you suffer from neck pain or forward head posture?
