Pain Speakc Chest Pain

Chest pain is not always about the heart. In many cases, the real source lies in the muscles — the rectus abdominis, pectoralis major, and thoracic diaphragm that surround the chest and upper abdomen. When these muscles tighten, shorten, or lose coordination, they press on the ribs, diaphragm, and even the digestive system, creating burning, stabbing, or suffocating pain that is often mistaken for heart disease or reflux. This book reveals the muscle-based truth behind chest and upper abdominal pain. Through clear anatomical explanations, trigger-point maps, and self-treatment methods, readers will learn how to release tension in the diaphragm, restore rib movement, and recover natural breathing and digestion. Every chapter connects clinical insight with practical guidance — showing how posture, emotional stress, and breathing habits shape pain patterns. You will discover how to manage your symptoms safely at home, using self-release techniques, stretching, and mind–body awareness to bring true recovery. Key topics include: The muscular origin of chest and upper abdominal pain Diaphragm dysfunction and referred pain to the back Trigger points in the rectus abdominis and pectoralis major Breathing correction and posture realignment Practical self-care routines for long-term relief Whether your chest pain feels tight, burning, or crushing — this book helps you understand why it happens and how you can heal it yourself.
