What you describe sounds similar to what I've heard from some of my
clients in my Feldenkrais practice. If you live near New York City I
would suggest that you come have a lesson with me. I thik that i
could help you learn to improve the ease of your breathing. If you're
not close to New York I suggest the following:
1) Go to http:mp3.com/JohnLinkFeldenkrais and do the lesson
"Lower-Back Comfort".
2) Go to http://www.feldenkrais.com and find a Feldenkrais
practitioner near you. I'd be glad to make recommendations. I would
suggest both private lessons and classes.
