Superficial and Intramuscular Release of the Diaphragm

Описание: Marty Sytsema demonstrates both superficial and intermuscular myofascial release techniques for the diaphragm.

Marty explains why the diaphragm is one of the most important—and most overlooked—structures in the body. Beyond respiration, the diaphragm plays a critical role in circulation, posture, and global movement through its deep fascial connections, particularly with the psoas and the deep front line. Restrictions here can contribute to extension limitations, rib dysfunction, breathing inefficiency, and even distal complaints.

In this video, you’ll learn:
→ Why the diaphragm is a key link between breathing, posture, and movement
→ How fascial continuity connects the diaphragm and hip flexors
→ A superficial fascial fulcrum technique for diaphragm release
→ How to assess directional restrictions (medial–lateral, superior–inferior, rotation)
→ An intermuscular diaphragm release approach along the costal cartilage
→ Clinical indications, including rib restrictions, breathing limitations, and side “stitch” pain in runners
→ What a true diaphragm release may feel like—for both therapist and patient

This demonstration highlights how addressing the diaphragm can unlock movement, improve breathing mechanics, and create powerful global changes—especially when progress feels “stuck.”

If you’d like to deepen your understanding of fascial anatomy and learn how to apply myofascial release techniques from an orthopedic perspective, these concepts are taught in depth in our Orthopedic Approach to Myofascial Release course.
