Thoracic Massage for Breathing Muscles 🌬️

Feeling like your breathing’s been a bit shallow lately？

Long hours at the desk or scrolling on your phone can make your shoulders and chest stiff

And that makes it harder for your lungs and diaphragm to move💦

That’s where a simple thoracic massage focusing on breathing muscles comes in🌿

Gently loosening the muscles involved in breathing can help you take deeper breaths

Feel more relaxed

And even boost your metabolism✨

Key Muscles to Focus On 🌬️

• Diaphragm – main breathing muscle, attached to the lower ribs

• External intercostals – help expand ribs when you inhale

• Internal intercostals – help lower ribs when you exhale

• Sternocleidomastoid & scalene muscles – around your neck and collarbone, help during deep breaths

Loosening these muscles lets your chest move more freely

And makes breathing easier💆

Quick Steps to Try

1 Neck Release

Press gently along the side of your neck

Follow your breath – press on the inhale, relax on the exhale✨

2 Rib Stretch

Slide your fingers between your ribs up and down

Take your time with each breath

You’ll feel your chest opening up🌿

3 Shoulder & Chest Stretch

Move your shoulder blades gently while loosening the chest

If your shoulders are tight, your chest probably is too

Take it slow💨

4 Back Release

Press along your shoulder blades and spine

Breathe in while pressing, out while releasing💆

Tips for Best Results

• Match your pressure to your breath

• Mind your posture – keep your chest slightly open

• Add deep breathing – a few diaphragmatic breaths between steps really help🌿

Why It Helps 💨

• Lung capacity improves

• Neck and shoulder tension eases

• Blood flow gets better

• Your nervous system calms down

• Posture improves, lower back pain can decrease

Especially great if you’re at a desk a lot or feel like you’re breathing shallowly💆‍♀️
