Episode notes
Stress, Fun And Tissue Tension
- Paul describes sudden mid-back soreness during COVID that resolved after friends visited and he played games outside.
- He uses this to illustrate how stress and social isolation increase resting muscle tone and reduce mobility.
Use Nasal Diaphragmatic Breathing
- Breathe slowly and through your nose with low diaphragmatic breaths to restore spinal stability.
- Practice nasal, slow, low breathing for ten minutes and aim to nasal-breathe throughout the day and night.
Prioritize General Daily Movement
- Move frequently throughout the day to avoid becoming locked in static positions and losing mobility.
- Stand up every 20–30 minutes and accumulate varied, natural movement instead of relying only on stretching.
