Purpose:

To release tension from the diaphragm to improve breathing and decrease back and trunk pain.

Where to Feel it:

Underneath your diaphragm/rib cage in the trigger point areas.

Description:

Slump forward and place fingertips under the ribcage, finding a tender point in the diaphragm. Breathe slowly and deeply into the abdomen for 5-10 seconds. As you exhale (for about 10-15 seconds), feel the softening of the diaphragm and allow your fingers to sink deeper into the tissue, up under the ribs.

Remember to always keep breathing!
