You breathe 20,000 to 25,000 times a day. If your primary breathing muscles are the neck and shoulders or if you are breathing in a reverse, paradoxical breathing pattern you can be increasing muscular tension in the body.
Additionally, if your breathing mechanics are suboptimal, you can be activating the sympathetic nervous system creating chronic stress. Stress can make it very hard to heal since healing happens in a parasympathetic state.
Better breathing is an "inside out approach" to stress management. Better breathing habits will be very important to healing your low back pain and I speak from experience.
