Presented by Ed Harrold
The diaphragm muscle is the largest muscle in our body located below the lungs and heart and above the liver, gallbladder, stomach and spleen. In addition to its vital role in the breathing process, the diaphragm is the main muscle that connects our upper and lower body. A strong diaphragm not only gives us core stabilization, it gives us a broad range of motion in our lower backs, hips and buttocks. Most of our clients are shallow breathers. When we breathe only into the upper lobes of the lungs, we are not properly engaging the diaphragm muscle nor are we hitting the parasympathetic nerve endings housed in the lower lobes of the lungs. In this Breath AS Medicine webinar, we’ll discuss how proper breathing plays a role in strengthening the diaphragm muscle for proper functional movement as well as parasympathetic activity.
