L A CranioSacral

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 b...reathing 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 study titled: Orientation and position of head posture, scapula and thoracic spine in mouth-breathing children - Looked at the orientation and position of the scapula, thoracic spine and head posture among mouth-breathing (MB) children and nasal-breathing (NB) children. They found: Mouth Breathing children increased scapular superior position in comparison to nasal breathing children due probably to the position of forward head, leading to an alteration in the positioning of the mandible. The absence of significantly difference in posture pattern between groups in the present study could attributed to height-weight development in this age, as the posture of children changes in order to adapt to new body proportions, regardless of health status. The results observed in this study are correlation, not causation. But they may demonstrate the importance of using reliable measurements in the postural assessment of mouth breathing and nasal breathing children helping physical therapists to focus their strategies during rehabilitation in more specific conditions 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?
