There is a time and place for proper breath holding,
like when you are maxing out your deadlift, but if you are suffering from back or neck tightness,
hernias,
abdominal separation or pelvic floor issues, you really need to take a closer look at how you manage pressure in your core and why that mis - utilization of pressure is causing issues.
Normally a
hernia is as simple as some
abdominal fat passing through the opening causing the lump; however it is possible that intestinal loops may pass through causing complications
like strangulation of the intestine leading to blood vessel occlusion and other complications.
