The diaphragm, abdomen, and pelvic floor function together as a coordinated unit to provide stability, support, and control for the body's core. Dysfunction or weakness in any of these components can lead to issues such as poor posture, back pain, pelvic floor disorders, or impaired breathing mechanics. Assessing the overall function of each of these components is necessary to address issues that might seem independent of each other but are actually directly linked.
Diaphragmatic breathing, also known as deep breathing, helps strengthen the diaphragm and promotes relaxation. Slow, controlled, deep breathing promotes full expansion of the ribcage, as well as diaphragm compression with downward movement into the abdomen.
Spinal stabilization exercises such as Planks or Dead-bugs target the abdominal muscle groups together. The more stabilized the core, the less strain on the lower back, diaphragm, and pelvic floor. Remember your diaphragmatic breathing while practicing!
Pelvic Floor Exercises, such as Kegel exercises or contractions, strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor. However, if your pelvic floor is hypertonic, too tight, Kegels will not give you the benefit you’re looking for. In this case, slow, diaphragmatic breath can be helpful to relax the pelvic floor muscles.
Chat with your healthcare or fitness professional about the benefits of balancing your diaphragm, abdomen and pelvic floor!

A Little About Me

After completing my Bachelors degrees in Arts and then in Education, I went on to follow my passion of health and fitness. While working for nearly 10 years as a Certified Personal Trainer, my client base had evolved to working with clients with a more rehabilitative focus. I found manual osteopathy while searching for a way to treat a debilitating injury to my knee, and I have seen for myself the benefits of manual osteopathy. I have since gone on to study at the National Academy of Osteopathy in North York, Toronto, Ontario, where I earned my Diploma in Osteopathic Manual Practice. I believe in an evidence-based approach to healthcare and manual therapy, and in treating the body as a single sophisticated unit. My athletic background in competitive swimming and bodybuilding, combined with my years as a CPTS, has given me a sharp eye for how the body moves, and an appreciation for the significance of proactive therapeutic and rehabilitative applications on healing and recovery, and achieving a greater quality of life. This appreciation inspires me to continuously expand on my knowledge through research and self education in an effort to provide better care for my clients.
