Q & A for The 16%… Wide Infrasternal Angle vs Narrow Infrasternal Angle Relationships

January 26, 2020 By Bill Leave a Comment

I’ve been getting a lot of similar questions that appear to be related to understanding my references to wide infrasternal angles vs. narrow infrasternal angles.

When breathing is restricted such that full inhalation or full exhalation cannot be achieved, the infrasternal angle (ISA) provides guidance as to what compensatory strategy is being utilized to maintain respiration.

In this video, I explain the relationships between the sacrum, the ilium, the hip and acetabulum, and the spine. This should help provide a foundational understanding of the two archetypes that represent the breathing compensatory strategies.
