Diaphragmatic Breathing & Gastro-Intestinal (GI) Motility Target Training
In targeting the diaphragm, you will be able to change the relationship among and between the pressures within the abdominal area (upper thoracic and upper airway).
By directing your breath through the diaphragm, you can change the status of the motility of the thoracic and abdominal wall which includes inducing relaxation of the pelvic floor during deep inhalation.
A step-by-step guide to this exercise to follow along with can be found in the video below. Consider performing diaphragmatic breathing when sitting down, standing or supine throughout the day. Five breathing cycles, five times per day will deliver the desired effect.
