The Problem With “Fixing” Posture

Why effort-based posture doesn’t last

In a world obsessed with correction, we’ve been taught that better posture comes from trying harder: sit up straighter, pull your shoulders back, brace your core, stretch more, stretch longer. The problem? Muscles don’t actually change through force. They change through learning.

This is where somatic movement offers a completely different—and often more effective—approach.

Somatics focuses on relaxing muscles rather than correcting posture. Instead of telling your body what it should do, you give your nervous system the space to notice what it’s already doing. From there, change happens naturally. Not instantly. Not dramatically. But deeply and sustainably.

Why Muscles Stay Tight

Muscle guarding vs weakness

Most chronic tension isn’t caused by weakness or poor discipline. It’s caused by muscles that are stuck in a constant state of contraction due to stress, injury, habit, or simply the pace of modern life. Stretching a muscle that’s already clenched is like pulling on a rope that’s tied in a knot—you might feel something, but you’re not actually undoing the problem.

How Somatic Movement Works

Resetting muscle resting tone through awareness

Slow, mindful lengthening works differently. In somatic movement, you gently contract and then slowly release a muscle, teaching the brain that it’s safe to let go. The goal isn’t to stretch farther—it’s to feel more. That awareness is what allows the muscle to reset its resting tone.

How relaxed muscles organize posture naturally

This is why posture doesn’t need to be “held.” When muscles learn how to relax, posture organizes itself without effort. Your body already knows how to stack itself efficiently. It just needs permission to stop gripping.

Why Slow Movement Feels So Hard

Productivity culture and the nervous system

The pace matters more than we want to admit. In a culture where everything moves fast—scrolling, working, exercising, even “recovering”—slowing down can feel almost painful for the brain. You might feel impatient, restless, or even annoyed when asked to move slowly. That discomfort isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong. It’s a sign your nervous system isn’t used to being listened to.

And sometimes, when you move slowly, things feel… strange. Jerky. Shaky. Uncoordinated. That can be unsettling if you expect smooth, controlled motion. But those micro-shakes are actually a good sign. They mean your brain is reestablishing communication with muscles that have been on autopilot for years. It’s your nervous system learning a new option: release instead of brace.

This process looks nothing like forcing a stretch or “correcting” posture in a mirror. It looks small. Almost boring. But the effects are powerful. Less pain. More ease. Movement that feels lighter instead of effortful.

Why small, slow change creates lasting results

True change doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from doing less, with more awareness.

In a fast world, slow movement is revolutionary. Giving your body time to unwind isn’t laziness or avoidance; it’s intelligent care. When you stop trying to fix your body and start teaching it how to let go, posture, strength, and comfort follow naturally.

Sometimes the most productive thing you can do for your body… is slow down.

If you’ve spent years trying to fix your posture without relief, your body isn’t failing—it may just be holding too much.

At Breathe., we use nervous-system–informed physical therapy and somatic movement to help the body release tension instead of bracing against it.

Learn how our whole-body approach supports posture, comfort, and ease—without forcing or correction.

Healing Isn’t About Fighting Your Body

Why safety matters for women with autoimmune disease

For women living with autoimmune disease, healing isn’t about forcing the body to cooperate. It’s about creating safety. Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do is slow down, soften, and allow your nervous system to remember that it doesn’t have to fight all the time.

If you’re living with autoimmune disease and feel like your body is always on edge, you don’t have to figure this out alone.

At Breathe., we take a whole-body, nervous-system–informed approach to care. Our work isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about creating safety, awareness, and support so your body can do less fighting and more healing.

If you’ve ever heard someone say, “I cried during dry needling and I don’t know why,” let’s talk about that — because it’s more common than you think, especially for women. And no, it’s not weird, wrong, or a sign something went badly. In fact, it’s often a sign that your body finally feels safe enough to let something go.

At our clinic, we talk a lot about how smart the body is. Your body is exceptional at protecting you. When life throws stress, trauma, grief, overload, poor posture, repetitive work, or chronic pain your way, your nervous system adapts. Muscles tighten to create stability. Breathing patterns shift. You power through. You keep going. And for many women, that protective strategy works really well… maybe too well.

Over time, tension can quietly stack up in places like the neck, shoulders, jaw, upper back, and yes — the pelvic floor. These are areas that help us feel safe, upright, composed, and “held together.” When life requires constant holding it together, those muscles can stay “on” for years.

Dry needling works by gently interrupting that protective muscle guarding.

When a needle stimulates a tight or overworked muscle, it sends a powerful signal to the nervous system: you don’t have to hold this anymore. Sometimes the release is purely physical — a twitch, warmth, or deep exhale. And sometimes, the release is emotional.

That emotional wave can feel like it comes “out of nowhere,” but the truth is it usually doesn’t.

It’s often been building for years. The body has just been keeping the lid on.

During dry needling sessions, I’ll often tell clients: If something comes up, let it out. Tears, laughter, a sudden heaviness, or even a feeling of relief are all normal responses. You’re not being dramatic. You’re not fragile. You’re human.

And here’s something important I always share:

Sometimes the emotional release doesn’t happen on the table. It might happen when you’re driving home, sitting in your car, or later that evening when your system finally has space to process. That doesn’t mean something went wrong — it means your nervous system is continuing the work.

This is especially true when dry needling the neck, shoulders, diaphragm, hips, or pelvic floor. These regions are deeply connected to stress, breathing, and emotional regulation. Releasing tension there can feel surprisingly vulnerable — and incredibly freeing.

I want to be very clear: emotional release during or after dry needling is not a bad thing. It’s fantastic. It shows us that your body is capable of releasing tension on the inside and the outside. It reminds us that pain isn’t always just mechanical, and healing isn’t just physical.

For so many women, dry needling becomes more than pain relief — it’s a moment where the body finally says, I’m safe now. And that’s a powerful thing.

If you’ve ever felt emotional during a session or afterward and wondered if it was “normal,” let this be your reassurance: your body knows exactly what it’s doing. Sometimes it just needs permission — and a little support — to let go.

Our all-women staff of expert physical therapists provide trauma-informed care. We trust that your body already has the answers, it’s just about asking the right questions. Your body may already be showing you these four signs you need physical therapy that have nothing to do with getting pain or surgery. If your stuck in a cycle of tension, discomfort, pain, stress or anxiety and don’t know how to feel like your best self again, schedule a session with one of our PTs in West Des Moines or North Liberty.

A Different Kind of New Year’s Resolution: Do Less

Every January, we’re flooded with the same message: do more. More workouts. More discipline. More productivity. More fixing.

But what if this year’s resolution isn’t about adding anything at all?

What if it’s about doing less—on purpose?

Many of us walk into the New Year already exhausted. Our bodies are tight, our nervous systems are overstimulated, and our minds are racing ahead before the coffee is even brewed. Yet we tell ourselves the solution is more effort, more intensity, more pushing through.

Somatic movement invites a different approach. 

Instead of asking, “What should I fix?” it asks, “What can I soften?”

When you do less—move slower, pause longer, listen more closely—you give your nervous system a chance to reset. Muscles that have been gripping for years finally get the message that they don’t have to hold everything together. Posture improves not because you’re forcing it, but because your body is no longer bracing against life.

One of the simplest and most powerful places to start is your breath.

Longer exhales send a clear signal of safety to the nervous system. They gently activate the parasympathetic response—the part of your body responsible for rest, digestion, and repair. You don’t need special equipment or perfect technique. Simply exhaling a little longer than you inhale can begin to shift your entire internal state.

Try this:

Inhale through your nose for a count of four, then exhale slowly for a count of six or eight. Notice what happens in your shoulders, jaw, and belly. Often, the body responds before the mind does.

This kind of practice can feel deceptively small. It doesn’t look impressive. It won’t leave you sweaty or sore. And yet, it can be profoundly uncomfortable at first—especially if your system is used to constant motion. Slowing down may feel awkward, boring, or even unsettling. Movements might feel shaky or jerky as you move with more awareness.

That’s not failure. That’s learning.

Those tiny tremors are your nervous system discovering new options. The long exhale is your body remembering it doesn’t have to rush. 

The pause is where real change happens.

So this year, consider a quieter resolution:

• Do fewer things, but with more presence

• Breathe out longer than you breathe in

• Move slowly enough to feel what’s happening

• Stop stretching and start listening

Doing less doesn’t mean caring less.

It means trusting that your body already knows how to heal, organize, and support you—when given the chance.

In a world that’s always asking for more, choosing less is radical. And it just might be exactly what your body needs.

Our all-women staff of expert physical therapists provide trauma-informed care. We trust that your body already has the answers, it’s just about asking the right questions. Your body may already be showing you these four signs you need physical therapy that have nothing to do with getting pain or surgery. If your stuck in a cycle of tension, discomfort, pain, stress or anxiety and don’t know how to feel like your best self again, schedule a session with one of our PTs in West Des Moines or North Liberty.

2026 is the year to feel like your best self again. We’d love to help you do that.

How to Lift Weights When You’re Brand New to the Gym

If you are new to strength training, it can often be intimidating or even scary to get started. There are so many options, where do you even start? 

Common Questions & Concerns About Strength Training 

“Should I use machines or free weights?”

“I’m afraid I will hurt myself.”

“How many reps should I do?”

“I don’t want to look silly.”

The American College of Sports Medicine provides guidelines for strength training for the general adult population. These are awesome references to use to help you get started!

The ACSM’s Guidelines About Strength Training 

1. How often should I do it?

Aim to strength train 2-3 days per week. This allows your body enough time to recover and build back up between strength days and therefore, ready to be challenged again.

2. What exercises should I do?

There is no list of “perfect” exercises – which is the fun part! Aim to challenge the major muscle groups (think glutes, quads, hamstrings, biceps, triceps, etc.) and you can use a variety of equipment – machines, dumbbells, barbells, bands, etc. Talk to your physical therapist or your gym trainers if you need ideas on specific exercises!

3. How many sets/reps?

Complete 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps with good form, slow and smooth movement. This dosage of exercise has been shown to be the optimal amount to promote muscle hypertrophy (AKA muscle growth!)

4. What weight should I use?

If you are new to strength training, start with light weights and then gradually increase, with an end goal of a weight that is moderately challenging. An easy guideline to use is the last couple repetitions should be 8/10 difficulty (where 0 is no difficulty and 10 is max effort).

Strength Training for Women Provides a Multitude of Benefits

Strength training is such an important part of a well-rounded fitness program and is often either forgotten or purposely removed due to intimidation, not knowing where to start, or fear of injury. 

Strength training is essential for graceful aging and working on your strength today will not only be beneficial in the short term but also pay off in spades when you are older. Challenging our bodies with regular strength training helps build stronger bones, decrease risk for fracture and injury, promotes heart health and glucose regulation, and so much more. 

Consult With a Breathe. PTW Physical Therapist on How To Get Started With Strength Training

If you are unsure where to start, how to prevent injury, or if strength training is right for you due to a past medical history, birth history, previous injuries, etc. I would encourage you to set up an appointment with your local physical therapist (pelvic floor physical therapist if you happen to be pregnant or postpartum) for individualized guidance on how to safely get stronger!

How to Begin a Daily Gratitude Practice for a More Positive Life

Embracing Positivity: Introducing a Gratitude Journal

I’ll admit – whenever someone recommended starting a gratitude journal, I would smile, nod, and NOT do it. I was convinced that it just wasn’t my thing. I knew deep down I was a grateful person because I said thank you at appropriate times and frequently acknowledged the key blessings in my life.

There’s really no better time to start a gratitude journal than now! Maybe you feel like life is moving too fast, or you’re feeling caught up in a whirlwind of stress and negativity. A gratitude journey is a simple yet powerful tool that can help shift your mindset towards positivity and enhance your overall well-being. Ok – let’s dive into it!

Do I Actually Have To Get a Journal?

A gratitude journal is a dedicated space where you write down things you are thankful for. It can be a physical notebook, a digital document, or even a special app on your phone. The idea is to regularly note down positive experiences, moments, or people in your life that you appreciate. This practice helps you focus on the good things, no matter how small they might seem.

Why Should I Keep a Gratitude Journal?

1. Boosts Mental Health: Studies have proven that anxiety and gratitude cannot exist in the brain at the same time. Writing about things you’re grateful for can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression by encouraging you to focus on the positives in your life.
2. Improves Sleep: Reflecting on positive moments before bed can help you fall asleep faster and enjoy a better quality of sleep. It’s like ending your day on a high note, which can carry over into restful sleep.
3. Enhances Relationships: By regularly acknowledging the people you are grateful for, you strengthen your relationships with them. It fosters a sense of connection and appreciation, which can improve your interactions and bonds with others.
4. Increases Resilience: When you focus on the positive aspects of your life, you build resilience against challenges. Gratitude helps you see the silver lining in difficult situations, making it easier to cope with stress and setbacks.

How Do I Start a Gratitude Journal?

1. Choose Your Journal Type: Decide whether you want a physical notebook, a digital document, or an app. Choose something you’ll be comfortable using daily.
2. Set a Routine: Pick a time of day that works best for you to write in your journal. Many people prefer to do this in the morning to start their day on a positive note, or at night to reflect on the day’s events.
3. Be Consistent: Aim to write in your journal regularly. You don’t have to write a lot; even a few sentences can make a difference. Consistency is key to reaping the benefits.
4. Reflect on the Details: When writing, be specific about what you’re grateful for. Instead of just writing “I’m thankful for my family,” try “I’m thankful for my family’s support during my exam week.”
5. Include Challenges: Don’t only focus on practicing gratitude on the good days. Write about challenges you faced and what you learned from them or how you managed to get through them. This helps you see growth and resilience when you look back on your gratitude journal entries!

What Is An Example Of A Gratitude Journal Entry?

Here are a few examples to get your mind thinking about gratitude:

• “I’m grateful for the warm cup of coffee I enjoyed this morning.”
• “I’m thankful for my friend, who listened to me when I needed to vent.”
• “I’m appreciative of the beautiful sunset I saw on my way home.”
• “I’m grateful for the hard work I put into my project, even though it was challenging.”

Even on days it feels difficult to find gratitude (we all have bad days!), choosing something positive such as “I’m grateful to be able to move my body today” or “I’m grateful to have clean water to drink from” will help to shift your mindset and move you into the next day.

Build Gratitude, Surround Yourself With Positive Support from Breathe. PTW

Starting a gratitude journal is a simple and effective way to bring more positivity into your life. It helps you focus on the good, enhances your mental health, and builds stronger relationships. So why not give it a try? Grab a notebook or open a new document and start jotting down those little moments of joy and appreciation. You might be surprised at how much of a difference it can make!

Hey awesome moms! Being a mom is like having a colorful, ever-spinning top – sometimes it feels a bit wobbly. We get it, and today, let’s talk about how to catch that wobbly top, have a giggle, and remind ourselves that it’s okay not to be perfect.

What is Motherhood Overwhelm?

Imagine your day is a big puzzle with lots of pieces – chores, work, and taking care of everyone. Mama overwhelm happens when the puzzle pieces feel like they’re falling all over the place, and you’re not sure where to start.

Tip #1: Asking for Help – Teamwork Time

Speak Up:

• It’s okay to say, “I need a little help, please.” Your family is like a team, and teams work together.
• Let your family know you’re a team, and everyone can pitch in to make the puzzle pieces fit.

Chores Together:

• Make a list of things that need doing, like setting the table or picking up toys. Share the list with your family and let everyone choose a task.
• Teamwork makes the puzzle less wobbly and more fun!

Tip #2: Laughter – The Best Medicine for Mama Wobbles

Funny Moments:

• Find chances to laugh together. Share silly jokes, make funny faces, or tell goofy stories.
• Laughter is like a magic wand that turns wobbles into giggles. It makes everything feel a bit lighter.

Play Breaks:

• Take breaks during the day for playtime. It could be a quick dance party or drawing funny pictures together.
• Playtime is like a mini-vacation for your brain. It helps you shake off the wobbles and have some fun.

Tip #3: Connection – Building Strong Bonds

Heart-to-Heart Talks:

• Have talks with your family about how you’re feeling. Share your thoughts, and listen to theirs too. It’s like having a cozy chat with your best buddies.
• When everyone’s connected, the puzzle pieces fit together better.

Family Time:

• Plan special times to be together. It could be a movie night, a walk in the park, or cooking a meal as a team.
• Connecting through activities makes your family puzzle more colorful and joyful.

Tip #4: Embrace Imperfection – Nobody’s Perfect!

It’s Okay to Make Mistakes:

• Remember, nobody gets the puzzle perfect every time. It’s okay to make mistakes – they’re like little lessons that help us grow.
• Don’t worry about being perfect; focus on doing your best and having fun along the way.

Learn from Oops Moments:

• When things don’t go as planned, take a moment to think about what happened. It’s like turning an “oops” into an opportunity to learn and try again.
• Imperfections make your puzzle unique and interesting!

Helpful Tips for Joyful Days – Your Toolbox

1. Me-Time Moments:

• Find a few minutes for yourself each day. Maybe read a favorite book, listen to music, or take a short walk.
• Me-time is like giving your brain a cozy break.

2. Deep Breaths:

• When things get a bit too wobbly, take deep breaths. Inhale slowly, then exhale. It’s like a mini-reset button for your mind.
• Deep breaths help you find your balance.

3. Celebrate Small Wins:

• Celebrate the little victories, like finishing a puzzle piece or trying a new recipe. Small wins add up to big smiles.
• Every puzzle piece you put in its place is a reason to celebrate.

From the Breathe. PTW Team, You’re Doing Great! Iowa’s Trusted Women’s Heath Clinic.

Motherhood overwhelm is like a puzzle with moving parts, but guess what? You’re the puzzle master! Embrace the wobbles, ask for help when you need it, and remember that imperfections make your puzzle uniquely yours.

A More Balanced Nervous System with Stress Resilience Coaching

My name is Agnieszka. I am your Stress Resilience Coach and Reiki Therapist at Breathe. Physical Therapy & Wellness. 

I bring a practice of self-regulation / emotion balancing techniques developed by HeartMath® Institute, combined with yoga, lifestyle and wellness principles of Ayurvedic medicine, and Reiki – Japanese energy balancing therapy. Through such offerings, I hope to support you in your healing process, help enhance your body’s natural healing potential, as well as help you in maintaining your health in years to come. 

Today, before I invite you to experience a technique, I would like to start off with a couple of words about the focus of my practice. And that focus is – the HEART. The heart – that is not just the blood pumping organ, but a way more complex and powerful center of our intuitive intelligence. It is, as the science shows, a powerful GATEWAY to the body’s optimal functioning, which includes the body’s potential to self-heal.

So how do we unlock and walk through that GATEWAY in a way that supports us amongst our very busy, attention-demanding lifestyles, where it seems there is constantly not enough time for all that we need to do or what to achieve?

I will share with you a very simple recipe – that became an integral part of my own healing and a part of my living. It will not require much of your time, nor additional resources. Everything that you need, you already have, and that is your heart, your breath, your awareness, and the ability to feel.

You may ask, how can something so simple be so powerful? The reason is, when you focus your attention on your heart, breathe a little slower and deeper than usual, and contemplate heartfelt emotion, you literally change the rhythm of your heartbeat. It becomes more harmonized and more coherent. This harmony of the heart is communicated to the brain so it also becomes more harmonized in its functioning. You experience more clarity, more composure, peace within, and that allows you to more easily get out of the loops of recurring unpleasant thoughts or feelings of anger, frustration, fear, anxiety, hopelessness – or anything else that feels heavy for you, and helps you cut the edge of the intensity of the impact of any stressful situation you are going through. Additionally, most important of all, if you continue practicing with regularity, that growing harmony within you will support the healing of your entire body and help maintain your health in years to come.

You can observe and experience your own heart’s rhythms shape in response to applied techniques through a biofeedback device placed on your earlobe during our Stress Resilience Coaching sessions at Breathe. 

Now I would like to invite you to that “Heart Gate” opening technique. You can practice it whenever you feel in distress, expect a challenging situation or want to recover from it, or anytime you want to bring a feeling of inner peace. When one of these situations arise, stop for a brief moment, notice your feelings without judgment – simply acknowledge them, and apply a HeartMath® Quick Coherence® Technique as I guide you through it in the recording. Then, lengthen the amount of time you practice for as long as you wish. You can practice it anywhere and anytime. It only takes your intention to do it. This technique does not slow you down, it is balancing your inner energy, bringing composure, mental clarity, taking you into a state of active calm. I invite you to experience the feeling of being in the SPACE OF YOUR HEART.

Thank you for taking a moment to practice together with me. Love, Agnieszka

6 Ways Healing Touch Therapy May Improve Your Life

Reiki Therapy has the potential to improve both mental and physical aspects of your life.

The word Reiki means Universal Life Energy, and also refers to a system for tapping into the Source of that Energy. It is an ancient Japanese system of natural healing developed by Dr. Mikao Usui. It is a gentle, complementary, energy-based therapeutic approach to health and healing that promotes life balance, well-being, and can assist in bringing a body to its natural ability to heal. 

The healing traditions of many cultures emphasize the importance of subtle energy systems that flow through and around the human body, affecting its health and vitality. Many of these traditions stress that balancing these energy fields can assist the body, mind and spirit in moving towards and maintaining wellness. 

What are the Benefits?

People have many different responses to Reiki. There is a high likelihood that you will experience the relaxation response during the session. Some clients feel nothing at all. Others describe sensations of moving energy, deep relaxation, feelings of being supported and nurtured, or visions of images and colors. Some clients experience an emotional release such as tears; some have what they consider to be a spiritual experience or they may develop insight into specific areas of their lives. 

Benefits of Reiki may include:

• Physical and mental relaxation
• Pain release
• Anxiety and stress reduction
• Increasing one’s sense of vitality.

Clients of Reiki typically report experiencing the relaxation response and often report an increased sense of well-being and peace. Many have reported positive experiences that have helped them better cope with illnesses, medical protocols for treatment of medical conditions and depression.

What Does a Session Look Like?

Reiki is offered as a holistic, complementary and integrative energy-based therapy. During a session, our practitioner, Agnieszka, will consciously use contact and/or non-contact touch (on or above the client’s fully clothed body), and a heart-centered state of being to support and facilitate physical, emotional, mental and spiritual health and healing of each client.
