😮 This Will Blow Your Mind

Did you know that certain muscles situated around the rib cage can have an impact on your breathing and the position of the rib cage.

Yes, and one of these muscles is the Serratus Posterior Inferior. A mouthful for sure, but it is definitely worth mentioning. Before I continue, there is a Superior part to this muscle group as well, which I will cover in a separate videos.

The serrates posterior inferior is located at the bottom of the rib cage, actually very close to the serrates anterior, which is a muscle under your arm pit region.

The two have nothing in common though in terms of function. One can even say that they are antagonists in certain movements. Especially when it comes to the rib cage.

What is interesting here is that the serratus anterior can be used as a muscle that elevated the thorax during forced inhalation when the scapula is locked, whilst the serrates posterior inferior is a muscle that depresses the rib cage when you breathe out.

So in this instance, the two are acting as opposing forces. Crazy right :D

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video. You will find the full version of it in the Back, Spine & Hips course, link below or in my bio:
