Improve Your Breathing to Improve Your Running
– The MOVEMENT Movement with Steven Sashen Episode 080 Amy Novony
Dr. Amy Novotny founded the PABR® Institute with the mission to provide pain, stress and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment when other treatment methods have fallen short. Her unique approach comes from her experience treating in a variety of settings and with a wide range of patient populations over the past 12 years. Her background in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain; and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop this treatment method to address a wide variety of painful and restrictive conditions.
Her methods have helped countless people reduce and eliminate
pain, stress, anxiety, orthopedic surgeries, sleep issues and the
need for medications. She co-authored two Amazon #1 Best-Selling
books Don’t Quit: Stories of Persistence, Courage and
Faith
and Success Habits of Super Achievers, which share
her journey on how and why she developed the PABR® Method. Her
ability to speak French and Spanish has allowed her to communicate
with and help various clients from all around the world, including
France, Mexico, Central America and South America. She has a
variety of interests including running 40+ marathons, running 10
ultra marathons (including two 100 milers), completing an Ironman
triathlon, photographing wildlife and landscapes all over the world
that has led to several of her images being chosen as Photos of the
Day, most notably National Geographic Your Shot World
Top Photo of the Day. Visit her photography portfolio at

Listen to this informative The MOVEMENT Movement episode with Amy Novonty about improving your running by improving your breathing.
Here are some of the beneficial topics covered on this week’s show:
- How taking away the flight or fight sympathetic tone out of your muscles allows them to contract voluntarily without tension.
- Why changing your breathing helps calm your nervous system down and improves your running.
- Why your knees should be higher than your hips when you are in a seated position.
- How it’s important to keep your ribs and shoulders down when you’re inhaling.
- Why you need to work on relaxing your back muscles, so they aren’t in a flight or fight position.
