When you’re sad, sometimes all it takes is a quick pick me up or a diversion to make you happy. And so, it’s an opportune time to get together with people who love you and who are always there to cheer you up. It can be an excuse to indulge yourself.

Breathing happens whether you think about it or not- so what’s the big deal?
Introducing…the phrenic nerve
The phrenic nerve is a nerve that originates in the neck (C3–C5) and passes down between the lung and heart to reach the diaphragm (Science of Touch, 2019). The nerve controls the contraction of the diaphragm as well as the relaxation.
This is a big one! This is why when there is dysfunction in the spine (particularly the neck), it can affect the function of the phrenic nerve- and therefore impact the ease of our breath.
Nerves carry vital information from the brain to the organs and other tissues of the body, and then carry feedback information from those tissues back to the brain. These feedback systems can be disrupted when the joints of the spine aren’t moving as they should.
