Diaphragmatic Breathing: For Deeper Breaths

The diaphragm is the muscle that allows us to breathe.  When it contracts, it descends and we inhale (via a vacuum effect).  When it relaxes, it raises and we exhale.

When we are in high stress/ fight or flight mode we tend to breathe more via our chest, instead of deep into our belly. 

This exercise allows us to control the diaphragm and get deeper breaths in. 

As always, it’s best to get assessed first. Assess don’t guess! Talk to your PT.
