Anyone who participates in activities that involve jogging or running knows stitches can develop without warning and cause significant discomfort.
Breathing techniques can relieve the pain.
Brennan recommends exhaling with force with every stride. It's also helpful to breathe more with your stomach muscles, contracting them in and out with each breath. To help prevent stitches, Brennan suggests strengthening your abdominal muscles and gradually increasing the intensity and duration of your workouts. All Rights Reserved.
