Fibroids cannot be "healed" per se but their growth can be mitigated with functional and lifestyle medicine if surgery is avoidable.

Very smart kid!

There can be, yes!

@@DrGingerGarner I thought so. In fact I think that's what I've experienced. My physio says she's struggled to find the 'missing thread' that tells her what's causing my discomfort. I'm pretty sure it's been the voice (which recently seems to have completely changed in the way I experience it).

@@theresearcher253 Happy to consult as needed - it quite likely could be the voice, from listening to your story.

@@DrGingerGarner Thanks for the offer, and for taking the time to reply, but I'm UK based. I think my story might interest you though on a professional basis. I'll drop you an email to your 'info' address at your office.

I am not legally allowed to prescribe without a patient-provider relationships. What I can suggest is that for my beginning patients, I will often have them practice several times throughout the day because research shows that even just 1-2 minutes of focused breathing can change heart rate variability, stress response, and vagal tone.

@@DrGingerGarner Thank you for replying. I really appreciate it!

@@DC-jz7io You are very welcome!

Perhaps swallowing air unintentionally could be a root cause?

Wonderful! I'm so glad the video resonated with you!

Yes, we always have a dominant side - it should not be necessarily stronger - but it may be more coordinated and fluid with movement, making it seem stronger.

You're welcome!

You're welcome 😊

Oh it takes a long time - it's taking mine months, and I'm just being patient because I know it's a normal part of the healing process, especially when the endo is deep infiltrating. Sending love and support!

One day at a time, friend. It takes a long time to recover from even something like a lumpectomy - and if there's complications - it can take up to a year. But each day does get better!

Sinus blockages and congestion are pretty common with less than ideal air quality - both indoors and out, in addition to other influences like inflammatory levels in the bloodstream, reactions and allergies to food, and even the amount of exercise we get (movement is probably the biggest anti-inflammatory action we can take, combined with what we eat and how we think). So in order to get the best handle on resolving sinus congestion - addressing all these issue with lifestyle medicine is the best strategy for long lasting results. But many people do use neti pots and saline washes daily in order to manage more acute conditions, or for very stubborn chronic conditions.

We typically do have a weaker side - but can you expand on the weakness description a bit so I can understand better?

Umbrella breath is always a good idea to master -

Thank you so much!

Fantastic! Glad you are still singing strong!

Retroversion isn't necessarily an issue - you just have to know how to adapt movements and not stress the labrum or capsule. Otherwise, you can totally thrive with a set of retroverted hips! :)

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!

First, I am so sorry you have a PT who doesn't appear to truly specialize in hip arthroscopy rehab. I think that happens far too often. The other problem is - the "protocols" have excluded pelvic health as part of the rehab process - and it is an essential element. Further, "protocols" don't include use of routine imaging - and I find that a next step critical element in fully resolving issues and finishing rehab. I'm happy to help should you have further questions about what good PT should look like for the hip. I definitely don't mince words when I talk about the poor care that prevents folks from being empowered about how to manage their suffering from hip issues. Y'all deserve nothing but top notch care.

Thank you SO much 💜

Thanks for asking! Cording is known as axillary web syndrome, and can commonly occur after breast cancer surgery. Seromas can feel like fluid under the arm, but that is typically immediately post op within a few weeks that those would develop. Lipedema vs lymphedema is also important to differentially diagnose, but cording can actually create some similar pain symptoms without the signs of edema/swelling/fluid feel. Here's more information for you - www.breastcancer.org/treatment-side-effects/axillary-web-syndrome

Thanks for taking the time to comment! I'm so glad it was helpful! Here's the thing - bursitis is typically not a stand along diagnosis OR root cause. It is typically something else. So finding root cause is key - which could be hormones/endocrine factors, mechanical forces stressing the joint, faulty motor patterning, muscle imbalance, labral injury, hip impingement, and even a tight pelvic floor or core (not to be confused with a fit core). Those are some of the things I would differentially diagnose if you were a patient.

Breathwork is definitely the foundation of improving voice to pelvic floor connection!

I do not include reflexology; however the deep front line of fascia is a connecting point between the voice and pelvic floor.

Changing ongoing tension is far more complex than doing a single massage. Permanent change requires taking a further step - including improving postural and jaw habits, resting jaw position, sleep posturing, and ergonomics - just for starters.

Most welcome 😊

You're welcome!

Technically - yes, if the issue is on the left the right would go in the front in order to work the left.

@@DrGingerGarner great. Thanks again for the great advice.

You are so very welcome. I am sorry you have had such a terrible experience in the healthcare system. This happens to FAR too many women and is the more common experience. I would encourage you to find a pelvic/orthopedic PT who knows the voice to pelvic floor approach, and who also knows how to deal with the trauma caused inside the healthcare system. An integrative and lifestyle medicine approach will be essential for that. Good luck and don't hesitate to reach out!

You sure can - though oftentimes when I'm trying to improve patterning or strength on one side (the affected side), I'll only have them do a single side.

Definitely not. The belly button, if anything, *may* draw up toward the ribcage (not toward the spine) but it's not dependent on the inhale or exhale. The "drawing up" maneuver is only done when a task is difficult, like lifting something heavy or belting out a strong note. But, it's only effective IF it results in the intended action of coordination of the pelvic floor and core. More likely and also more important than any "drawing up," umbrella breath is about bucket handle rib expansion - or what is called lateral costal expansion. Getting the ribcage to actually be under your voluntary control is much more important than what is happening at the belly button. Ribcage movements and a piston or AD breath should be mastered first - ruclips.net/video/Ov3T8Rw3L3U/видео.html Then, umbrella breathing is next. Lastly, umbrella breathing is a task dependent breath - you are only using it when you need it for a specific task, aka lifting heavy objects, as I mentioned above in one example.

@@DrGingerGarner Ah so this is not like a singing exercise?

@@jesperjee Singing is like heavy lifting - so yes, this breath can be used during singing :)

By learning how to mobilize the diaphragm - notice the changes in angle of the costal angle. That's called umbrella breathing - or lateral costal breathing. That's your first step - get control of your ribcage movement where you expand laterally, not flare frontally.

Whats the trick to this?? I thought i was rib cage breathing but by belly clearly flares. So how do we inflate the rib cage but NOT the belly ??

@@AceMaverickM You don't do one or the other - you do both. :)
