The treatment approach for expanding the diaphragm

Use a small elongated or xs contour cup with light to medium suction. Apply the cup on an angle in and under the lower ribs, all the way across the body. Next, perform lifting cupping up over the intercostal muscle and fascia. This lifting action helps to create space in the superficial tissues between the ribs, diaphragm, and the organs.

This technique is great for shortness of breath, mid back tightness, lordosis, nausea, anxiety, and digestive problems. This is often seen in LU Qi deficiency, LV/GB and SP problems. We can address the channel pathways in the torso and we can also work along the path of the ribs to expand them.
