Effects of diaphragmatic breathing(6)[edit | edit source]

  1. Detoxifies and Releases Toxins:
    • Our body is designed to release 70% of its toxins through breathing. At least 3x times per day for 39 seconds
  2. Anti-stress:
    • Brain releases cortisol, the “stress hormone” under stress and anxiety.
    • By taking deep breaths, heart rate slows, more oxygen enters the blood stream and ultimately communicates with the brain to relax.
    • Deep breathing increases the endorphins.
  3. Relaxation and mood elevation:
    • Diaphragmatic breathing stimulates vagus nerve which is parasympathetic, thus inducing relaxation.
  4. Deep Breathing Relieves Pain:
    • Breathing into pain will increase circulation to that specific area, relieves tension and increase oxygenation. This triggers the release of endorphins, thus effecting pain relief.
  5. Deep Breathing Enhances the Immune System:
    • Deep breathing enhances the body’s ability to metabolize nutrients and vitamins. Deep breathing aids in digestion which helps strengthen the immunity.
  6. Lowers blood pressure:
    • With relaxation blood vessels dilate, which improves circulation and lowers blood pressure. Deep breathing also slows and regulates the heart rate, which also helps with lowering BP.
  7. Deep Breathing Improves Cellular Regeneration:
    • With deep breathing the body is better oxygenated and has better circulation which enhances the body’s efforts of cellular regeneration.
  8. Helps support correct posture.
    • Inspiration lengthens the spine, facilitates lumbopelvic movements, activates core muscles.

Evidence Based Practice :[edit | edit source]

Allison et al reported that during lumbo-pelvic motion control tests, diaphragmatic activity increases in healthy subjects[1]  O’Sullivan concluded in their case studies that lumbopelvic movements decreases in patients with diaphragmatic injuries.[2]

Moreover, patients with chronic lower back pain have often been reported to have defects in posture and motor control.[3][4]

Effect of mechanical ventilation on diaphragm[edit | edit source]

  • Ventilator-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction(VIDD):
    • Loss of diaphragmatic force- generating capacity as a consequence to use of mechanical ventilation due to suppressed inspiratory effort.
  • Mechanical ventilatory assistance contributes to  diaphragm muscle inactivity and unloading thus leading to diaphragmatic  atrophy and fatigue.[5]
  • Diaphragm weakness is a leading cause of difficult weaning from mechanical ventilation[6] and loss of thickness of diaphragm muscle, however, if there is insufficient ventilatory support and diaphragm is not unloaded adequately leading to load-induced inflammation and injury.[7]
  • Diaphragm atrophy developing during mechanical ventilation strongly impacts clinical outcomes. Targeting an inspiratory effort level similar to that of healthy subjects at rest might accelerate liberation from ventilation.[8]
