What is the link between breathing and muscle tension?
Breathing in a way that puts unnecessary pressure on your body (too fast, too high, or too shallow) can create and maintain tension. With targeted exercises, you can learn to breathe calmly and efficiently again. This gives your body more peace and space.
Signals to recognize
Do you recognize one or more of these symptoms? Then your breathing may be playing a role:
- shortness of breath
- hyperventilation complaints
- tiredness or a feeling of being rushed
- pressure on the chest
- tension in the neck, shoulders or chest
- stress-related respiratory complaints
What can you do now?
- Recognize the signs and take them seriously.
- Schedule an intake to map out your breathing pattern and complaints.
- Focus on your breathing with exercises and guidance. This will help you calm your breathing and reduce muscle tension.
