This exercise is a classic postural restoration move. This is probably the most powerful move I've ever seen in my life when it comes to diaphragmatic breathing. The whole concept relies on bringing oxygen to the right diaphragm which is larger by 33% on the right side. This move can fix any shoulder impingement on the left side. Stay tuned for the full video on the stretching Samurai Channel on YouTube.
1-Lie on your back feet at 90degrees with a 4-6" ball between your knees
2- Retrovert your pelvis 10 degrees upward while applying pressure on both heels to lift pelvis off the floor. Do not press into the wall
3- Raise right arm to inhibit latissimus dorsi
4- Breathing through the nose as you feel the right side of your diaphragm and chest wall expand
5- Exhale through the mouth Gentilly and remember not to breathe through the neck but through the diaphragm.
6- Repeat four to five breaths and one to three sets as needed.
Note to all ,this exercise is performed using a balloon but my client cannot blow up a balloon yet so I make him practice without one.
