Learn How To Train Your Diaphragm Movement | Ed Paget

Have you ever been told to take a deep belly breath but not felt as though you could?

This maybe because your diaphragm (the main muscle of breathing) can't move all the way down and all the way up. A common reason for this is previous abdominal surgery or trauma. When that happens the brain will change the way you breath so that you don't aggravate the already inflamed or damaged area. That makes sense in the short term, however this pattern can persist long after the injury has healed. Meaning that it is hard to take a full belly breath.

This exercise which is adapted from Patricia Maybury, the Fitness Table, allows us to consciously restore this missing movement to the breath.

Lie on your back. Breath in and hold your breath. As you do so expand your belly as much as you can, make your belly big. Then, still holding your breath, make your belly as small as you can, suck it in. Relax your belly and breath out. Do this 10 times before bed and you'll notice the difference in how easy it becomes to breath.
