In this episode, Physical Therapist Margaret Martin demonstrates diaphragmatic breathing and pelvic floor. She covers the following:

1. Helps you identify your current breathing pattern.
2. Explains the importance of breathing with your diaphragm.
3. Demonstrates how you can determine if you are using your diaphragm effectively.
4. Describes the important role your diaphragm plays as a partner in exercise.
5. Illustrates how you can achieve an optimal alignment and posture that enables diaphragmatic breathing.

Our diaphragm is our main muscle of respiration. This highly efficient muscle functions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to optimize air flow into our lungs.

When we are stressed, we experience elevated levels of stress. Stress turns on our sympathetic nervous system. causing us to breathe with a more shallow, rapid pattern. Breathing in this manner requires us to use our neck and upper shoulder muscles.

Unlike our diaphragm, these muscles were not designed to work continuously. This causes the muscles of our neck and upper shoulders to develop trigger points that can lead to neck and shoulder pain, as well as headaches.

Today we will correct that and get you on the path to diaphragmatic breathing.
