The MOVEMENT Movement

Proper Breathing Equals Proper Movement with Erin McGuire – The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 139 with Erin McGuire Erin McGuire PT, OCS, has been a physical therapist for over 25 years. Erin is a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist, creator of the core360 belt and a Prague School of Rehabilitation Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) international instructor and practitioner. After more than 20 years at her private practice in Los Angeles, Back in Balance Physical Therapy, Erin recently moved her practice to Colorado where she will focus on teaching, the core360 belt and continuing to treat clients. Her key mentors, Clare Frank PT, DPT and Pavel Kolar PT, PhD, greatly impacted the direction of her professional career and sparked her passion for understanding the nuances, motor patterns and interconnectedness of the movement system. With the growth of her DNS practice, her interest and focus increased on assessment and training of the diaphragm muscle and it's two key functions, respiration and trunk stabilization, which both play an important, key role in movement. In 2014, to address the widespread impairment of the diaphragm that is so prevalent within all activity levels of the population, she created the core360 belt. Seeing her clients make quicker gains and progress further using the core360 belt catapulted the diaphragm to the front-and-center of her practice. Through teaching and the core360 belt her passion and goal is to assist other movement professionals in furthering their understanding of the diaphragm's role in movement and why assessing and training quality diaphragm function is a necessity for everyone whether we are optimizing rehabilitation or performance. Listen to this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement with Erin McGuire about how you must breathe properly to move properly. Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week's show: - How your body should expand 360 degrees when you inhale. - How you need to use your diaphragm to breath sufficiently. - Why breathing and core stability are one in the same. - How it's important for your body to learn good patterns you don't have to think much about. - Why physical therapists and chiropractors must be open to learning about new techniques to help their patients.
