The Diaphragm – The Engine of Breathing and Key to Well-being
The diaphragm is the most important and largest respiratory muscle in our body – and yet it often goes unnoticed. Much more than just a muscle, it acts as the central engine of breathing and influences many bodily functions. It also has a close relationship with neighboring organs, muscle structures, and even our emotional state
When the diaphragm is blocked
A tense or blocked diaphragm can cause a wide range of disorders. Common symptoms include:
- Breathing difficulties such as shortness of breath or heavy breathing
- Recurring headaches
- Persistent fatigue and lack of energy
- Digestive issues, including acid reflux
- Frequent colds
- Sleep disturbances and a sense of inner restlessness
- Concentration problems and memory lapses
These symptoms are often misattributed – yet a dysfunctional diaphragm can be the underlying cause.
Our goal: to get your breathing moving again
Our approach aims for more than just symptom relief. We help you:
- Understand the fundamental role of the diaphragm in your well-being

A holistic and personalized therapy
Our therapeutic method is based on several complementary pillars:
- Manual diaphragm therapy to release tension
- Breathing exercises to develop deep awareness of your breath
- Targeted stretching of the thorax, arms, pelvis, and rib cage

- Postural re-education and gait training
Your breath is your life force
Free and conscious breathing is the key to renewed energy, inner calm, and physical balance.
