You stretch regularly.
You stay active.
You work on your posture.
But you still feel stiff.

One key piece is often overlooked. Breathing.

When your breathing is short and shallow, especially under stress, the body stays in tension.

The diaphragm loses range. The ribs move less.
And that stiffness spreads.

The shoulders compensate. The upper back tightens. The hips lose freedom.

Breathing directly affects the nervous system. If it’s fast and shallow, the body stays on alert. Muscles tighten more and release less.

On the other hand, deeper, controlled breathing helps the diaphragm move fully.

• The ribs regain mobility.
• The core becomes more stable.
• And the joints move more freely.

In sports therapy, breathing work is often part of mobility training.
Because a body that breathes better recovers better, stabilizes better, and moves better.

Tight shoulders. A tense back. Stiff hips. Tight shoulders. A tense back. Stiff hips.
It starts with better breathing.

If you want to understand what’s really limiting your mobility,
you can book an appointment with François, sports therapist at RESET.
