Feeling Fit with FSHD – Breathwork Part 1

18:00 CET | 17:00 Reino Unido | 12:00 ET | 11:00 CT | 10:00 MT | 9:00 PT

Are you a ‘Mouth Breather’?  Do you wake up in the morning with a headache?

This month, Frank Hanley returns to discuss the effects of ‘mouth breathing’ and how FSHD can cause diaphragm weakness.  In PART 1 of the June “Feeling Fit” sessions, Frank will demonstrate breathing and breathwork exercises to promote nose breathing and help strengthen the diaphragm.

“During a check-up, the doctor asked me if I was waking up with headaches. He was concerned that FSHD could be weakening my diaphragm.  I started to practice special breathing exercises to strengthen my diaphragm and improve my breathing. Within days, the headaches were gone.” 

Frank Hanley is a martial artist, author, and teacher of Kung Fu, Taijiquan and multiple Qigong styles and practices.  He is a recognized FSHD Volunteer Leader and FSHD Wellness Advocate.  He organized and launched the FSHD Society South Carolina Chapter and served as Chapter Director.  Frank can be contacted at qigongforfshd@gmail.com.
