| During the last 20 years, our work
with numerous
asthmatic cases has yielded dramatic results. A key factor has
been
attributed to the relationship of postural mechanics of the upper
extremity,
cervical spine and neurological component associated with this
respiratory
condition.
Anterior collapse of the shoulder
complex combined with an increased curvature of the cervical spine has
been a common mal-alignment pattern in every case examined.
Analysis and corrective work which increases the flexibility of the
shoulder complex, cervical and upper thoracic spine combined with
postural correction has yielded immediate changes in both the severity
and frequency of asthma attacks.
Note: All cases involved cross
applications of biomechanical analysis, correction and retraining
methods that were originally developed to enhance joint range of
motion, flexibility and performance of the elite dancer and
international athlete. We seek the participation and involvement of the
medical community with both the assessment of potential cases that may
benefit from our research as well as active participation throughout
the course of consultations.
