They discuss why our bodies aren't really built symmetrically and how this can affect us as as humans that need to do movement to survive. They go into some of these common asymmetrical patterns due to our breathing patterns, and how these can change us from just surviving and getting by, to becoming a thriving athlete. They mention why breathing should be a part of almost everyone's treatment approach, and why you should be integrating these into your movement prep or corrective exercises.
