Diaphragm Recovery 1.2

The diaphragm is the primary muscle responsible for respiration. Its effective function depends on the coordinated activity of the surrounding core muscles. Like all skeletal muscles, it is susceptible to stiffness, loss of coordination, and diminished strength over time. Such impairments can contribute to various health issues, including back and pelvic pain, shortness of breath, and increased pressure within the organ systems, extending down to the pelvic floor. Restoring optimal diaphragm function necessitates targeted exercises grounded in exercise science principles. A qualified physical therapist is well-equipped to design a tailored regimen of training exercises aimed at rehabilitating diaphragm mobility and strength, thereby enhancing respiratory efficiency and overall core stability.
