Diaphragm Breathing (Patient Demonstration) | Chesterfield Chiropractor

In this video, we highlight the process we go through to teach diaphragm breathing to our patients. As stated in other videos and blog posts, diaphragm breathing is extremely important for a multitude of reasons.

3 Keys to Diaphragm Breathing:

1. Relax not only your mid section and belly, but your neck and limbs as well.
2. Slow the rate of respiration down. We shoot for a 1:2 or 1:3 ratio of inhalation vs. exhalation. In other words, take longer to breathe out then to breathe in.
3. Lower abdominal expansion is key. We want to be able to expand as much, if not more, below our belly button when inhaling. This can be tricky but improves with practice.
