Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers

The Mediastinum Matters More Than You Think


Listen Later

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I dive into the bronchus, trachea, pleura, and mediastinum, breaking down how these “tubes” influence pain, movement, and posture in ways you might not expect. You’ll hear why addressing the bronchus can help with everything from shoulder and neck pain to foot pain, and why the mediastinum is one of the most powerful areas to assess and treat for whole-body changes.

I share practical, immediately applicable insights on how to approach the bronchus and mediastinum in treatment, what anatomical connections you can’t afford to miss, and why restoring the thoracic curve is crucial for improving dynamic alignment and breathing in your clients.

Whether you’re working with complex pain cases, high-level athletes, or the everyday person, this episode will help you see the lungs and bronchus as powerful tools in your treatment approach. Tune in to learn practical ways to create change beyond local symptoms and elevate your outcomes with a true whole-body lens.
