The Movement of the Diaphragm (3D Anatomy)

Dive into the intricate world of respiratory physiology with our immersive 3D animation showcasing the diaphragm and intercostal muscles in action. Witness the layers of these vital muscles and their coordinated movements, illuminating the mechanics of breathing. From the diaphragm's downward contraction to the intercostal muscles' rib-lifting prowess, every detail is vividly depicted. Explore the anatomy and function of these muscles with unparalleled clarity and depth. Perfect for students, educators, and medical professionals, this animation offers a captivating journey into the core of human respiration.

Showing how the diaphragm and the pelvic floor work together with the traverse abdominals would be wonderful to see in this manner

Thank you so much for the beautiful video.
I would like to add a few things -
There is a tendency to think that 'correct' breathing is diaphragmatic breathing
This is an assumption that is true for states of calm and sleep.
When we are active the prevailing breathing is rib breathing.
Another important thing - many times the back and neck are held and limit the expansion of the breath backwards.
When you are aware of sharing the back with the breath, the breath will affect the expansion of the back and allow mobility in the nape of the neck and back between the shoulder blades.
Iwill be happy to collaborate on this important subject.

Watching this alone helps to breath better, thanks!

Excellent animation. Well done. It's exactly what I've been searching for. Enormous thanks.

[roscosanchez]

This little animation has done more for me than any other youtuber/fitness influencer/breath coach/physical therapist. Dont change a thing on this one.

[TracyKate]

This is amazing! I would love to see you add in the relationship of the diaphragm to the psoas and pelvic floor

After reading an article about a woman who was paralyzed (from the neck down) in a car accident, I did some random research on paralysis and found that the ability to breathe on your own is lost, if the nerve associated to the diaphragm (phrenic) is damaged..
Unfamiliar with the diaphragm, I hopped over to YouTube, found your channel and clicked on the perfect video to help me understand a bit easier.
It was demonstrative, very informative and easy to understand... I'll happily subscribe to your channel! Can't wait to see more videos!
Keep up the great work! 😉

Great job! Very helpful. I am a movement specialist/PT . This video will be an excellent visual ad to help people understand where the diaphragm is and how it functions.

[DebbieHollandNZ]

A great video and truly enlightening x thank you. I never ever visualised the intercostals before. Maybe you could show the serratus muscles in the next one ?

[toryyoga]

Thank you very much for this amazing video. It would be great to have a video that shows the movement of the internal organs, as well as the coordinated movement of the lower diaphragm and the chest diaphragm, will visually demonstrate how breathing and movement occur. This will provide a clearer understanding of processes such as pelvic congestion, the development of varicose veins, and diseases of the female reproductive system. One of the root causes of these conditions is a disruption in the breathing cycle.

Stunning video with a very clear explanation. I agree with requests below that it would be great to show what is happening with body motion below the lower rib level as a result of diaphragm motion.

[mr.safecharliedefensivedri]

That was an excellent delivery.
Thank you.

I love your content. My only concern is that showing the more extreme form of breathing (ribcage in more of a full expansion and contraction) leaves the viewer with a false impression of how breathing looks in relaxed states. The reverse is true. The upper rib cage is not involved in relaxed breathing; only the lower ribs provide the primary movement. In other words, healthy breathing doesn't look like your video, and it, in fact, looks far more subtle. I know this video is merely for demonstrating the anatomy, but I fear we are sending the wrong message when we keep incorrectly showing people how much the ribs need to move in healthy breathing.

[loukiapikis]

I would love to see the movement in different breathing ways. eg when we start breathing up to bottom, or start from side

La meilleure représentation graphique de la respiration diaphragmatique que je connaisse et qui montre que le ventre ne "se gonfle pas" sur l'inspiration, ce qui est exact

[WatchingForFishes]

This is super interesting! I've always been curious about why sudden common breathing interruptions (like sneezes, coughs, and hiccups) affect other parts of the body. (Like how sneezing "wrong" can strain a rib or pull a muscle or how having the hiccups for a while can cause soreness in the neck, back, or chest.)

This video demonstrates really clearly how many muscles are actually involved in breathing. It makes sense during panic attacks when breath is forcibly arrested or quickened the chest muscles and hurt or burn causing the person to fear something is wrong with their heart and worsening the attack. Knowing WHY the things in your body happen is really important.

I join the call for a pelvic breathing video (when you get a chance as I'm sure these things take time). I'd love to see how breathing varies irregularly as well and how it affects muscles one might not think about it affecting.

great animation with very comprehensible information! thank you 🤩

[pijcab]

ughh, anatomy is soo fascinating as a non med student / post grad..

[MoremItzum]

Tolle Animation und super erklärt! Unglaublich, wie komplex das alles ist!

[samiramammadova]

Thank you for all your efforts, the video and explanation helps a lot! good luck
