Athlete relative to someone who doesn't use their body, perhaps. You don't need to compete to be an athlete, you just need to move your body intentionally. 🤷♀️
Yeah, sometimes my dog doesn't understand what I am doing and will look at me funny, either when I am upside down, or "breathing funny." It's entertaining, for sure.
Sports med is definitely the way to go. A regular orthopod may not understand the needs of athletes. Good luck!
Nor should you stop moving! I love swimming, it has served me well over the years. "Something floating around" seems ominous, possibly a chip of bone or cartilage, either way, not great for running on. Biking could be another way to go, as it's gentler on the knees, but personally, I am partial to swimming. Breath+Movement is my jam.
This is so profound and true to the core!
Thanks for reading, Corie!
Thanks so much for sharing. I so often catch myself holding my breath
Yes, it's a stress response. I have a patient who does too, which kind of inspired this post. Thanks for reading, Jane!
I've been doing that lately. I notice I did that when my knee injections were being done. I had to remind myself to belly breathe
Yes! So helpful! When I go to the dentist I need to remind myself to breathe too.
