For a long time, I believed I was practicing “correct breathing.”
I consciously guided the rib cage downward during exhalation.
I maintained an upright posture.
I thought I was supporting my body in the right way.
And yet, something was constantly holding.
For this “correct” breathing to work,
my body had to compensate elsewhere.
My lower back stiffened.
My spine stayed erect through effort rather than ease.
I was holding myself together without realizing it.
What I perceived as correctness
was, in fact, a well-organized compensation.
Then, one day, I stopped trying to maintain a form.
I simply allowed the exhalation to descend.
And something unexpected happened:
my spine softened,
my back naturally curved,
my breathing became fluid,
and my body felt at ease.
That was the moment of clarity.
It is not correctness that creates comfort.
It is comfort that reveals what is truly right.
When the body is genuinely regulated,
it no longer needs to be held.
It organizes itself.
In Fasciapuncture®, this experience repeats itself constantly.
Very often, what we call “good posture,”
“proper breathing,”
or even “correct technique”
is actually a strategy to compensate for a deeper imbalance.
The role of care is not to impose a form,
but to create the conditions
in which the body can rediscover its own.
Sometimes this looks like letting go.
Sometimes it looks less “proper.”
But almost always, it can be recognized by a simple signal:
👉 comfort.
Quiet, honest comfort
becomes our most reliable clinical guide.
