| 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.
