The Secret Connection Between Breathing Mechanics and Running Performance
Description
Dr. Amy Novotny shares her revolutionary approach to running injuries through proper breathing mechanics and body positioning. We explore how this treatment method can transform running performance by addressing root causes rather than symptoms.
• Poor breathing mechanics lead to improper positioning and eventual running injuries
• Most running injuries stem from positional problems, not weakness or lack of flexibility
• When the ribcage lifts during breathing, the pelvis cannot maintain a neutral position
• Dr. Novotny dropped seven minutes from her marathon time using these techniques
• Recovery time dramatically improves with proper breathing techniques
• Children naturally use correct mechanics before developing poor habits
• Schools could incorporate breathing mechanics into curriculum from elementary age
• Learning to relax and change breathing mechanics is essential for injury-free running
• Data-driven running can sometimes disconnect us from our body's natural signals
• Techniques can be learned remotely via video consultations
