Post 11: How to Support Your Child’s Breathing with Gentle Fascia Techniques (Video Lesson)
Gentle Techniques to Support Breathing in Cerebral Palsy
What if you could help your child breathe better—without any equipment, effort, or therapy appointments?
In this special class I taught inside our Facebook group, I walk you through the connection between breathing, fascia, and postural development in children with cerebral palsy—and how you, as a parent, can gently support it from home.
This is one of the most important areas we focus on in WeFlow. The breathing mechanism is a powerful internal motor. It moves the ribs, the diaphragm, the spine, the organs—and stimulates the fascia 24/7. But in many of our kids, this rhythm is blocked or restricted.
In this 40-minute class, I share:
How breathing affects your child’s pelvis, spine, and hip health
The role of the diaphragm and why its movement matters
Two ways to work on the upper and lower diaphragms with your hands or soft sponges
A simple technique using a makeup sponge to mobilize the ribs and support expansion
How using a neck support or binder helps the nervous system relax and breathe better
These techniques are a good example of how fascia therapy is done. In my ongoing programs, I teach similar and more advanced routines that build on this foundation—but everything starts here, with gentle, hands-on support that you can easily apply at home.
Watch the full class now and learn how to bring more breath, balance, and movement into your child’s body—right from your hands.
