TPTV - Arnold Jacobs: Unnecessary Tension

In this AJIHOW episode, Arnold Jacobs is asked what was the most common physical problem he encountered as a teacher. His reply: unnecessary tension. It would usually begin in the lower respiratory track and then the tension makes its way to the layrngeal and pharyngeal regions. There is a substitute of isometrics in place of the needed "bellows" activity of the respiration system. This is largely present in the "tight gut" or static pressure model of respiration. We need air with motion or flow. Blow air, don't squeeze it. Special thanks to Prof. Dee Stewart for arranging this amazing Q&A session with Mr. Jacobs back in 1984. #ArnoldJacobs #JakePed
