Hi Diane,
First I just wanted to share my sincere thanks for hosting, teaching and creating such an amazing course for us to continue our education.
I was one of the patients assessed today for the last part of week 1, 2015 Series. The meaningful task was cycling, with a glued left 8,9 ring as the driver (with likely foot and ankle issues to be determined later). I did what you suggested on my bike ride back to where I’m staying, I corrected the rib, breathed and tried to stay long through my torso, with out my usual correction of rib cage forward . Guess What! I was too busy noticing how much easier it was to breathe, that I finally noticed that I wasn’t weak, but in fact climbing a hill, on a really heavy borrowed bike, and wasn’t in the lowest possible gear!!! Did that make sense?
So, it was not so easy to hold, but I worked on my mapping for the duration of the ride…..I can only describe it as FREEDOM! I don’t think I realized how much my breathing was affected.
Thank you !!!
Off to do some more brain mapping!
