Your core and breathing muscles are one and the same – and after you’ve had back pain or a torso injury, relearning to use them properly is key.

Pregnancy, abdominal surgery, and that time you threw out your back and stayed on the couch for a week? All great reasons to pay attention to focus on your breathing and core muscles!

Since my conversation with today’s guest, physical therapist Jill Zimmerman, I’ve been paying closer attention to how I’m breathing and how it impacts my movement. And trust me, if you’re not practicing breathing, you need to be!
