The diaphragm has few proprioceptors embedded within its unique tissues, so getting a full sense of it, or mapping it, can be challenging. It requires we exaggerate the sensory awareness of the tissues it comes into contact with. In other words, the way we glean a somatic experience of our diaphragm is by experiencing the myofascial structures that are attached to it.
In this video, Jill offers specific instruction on how to get that sense of your diaphragm. Follow along as she navigates its connections using gentle touch of the fingers to palpate the tissues, the Coregeous Ball to pressurize inside the ribcage and specific breathing techniques to deepen your organic understanding of where the diaphragm attaches and its effect on those connections.

Fitness Therapy Expert Jill Miller shares tips for pain free desk work on the nationally syndicated show America Now with Leeza Gibbons and Bill Rancic.
Jill Miller On America Now - Tips For Staying Pain Free At Work TRANSCRIPT
“Fitness Guru Jill Miller says you don’t need pills for pain, you need movement — especially at the office “ says Leeza Gibbons, host of nationally syndicated show America Now with Leeza Gibbons and Bill Rancic.
Jill: “We spend so much of our day sitting at our desks. That sit leads to a slouch, which leads to pain. Here’s how to eliminate it.
“First of all, if you have to sit, sit right. Pelvis underneath your rib cage, skull over the ribs, and then reinforce that with strength.
[Jills arms raise above her head.] “Hands interlaced on the back of the head. Push your head firmly into the palms of your hands to stabilize. WHen you let go your head will [feel like its going to] levitate off your body and you will feel better posture.
“The forearm muscles from holding onto that mouse. That mouse, which isn’t lightweight, is like a toddler pulling you off to the side constantly. Take your Yoga Tune Up therapy balls or tennis balls, stick them in a tote, place them on your desk. Take your forearm and drive it between the inside of the balls. That rolling action will knead and compress those tight tissues. And you will be free of pain.
“Lastly, one of these areas that are unknown but causing us tons of agony are the muscles that connect your thumb to the rest of your hand. Plop your hand right on top of that ball, use the other hand for added pressure, and then mow the hand up and down letting the ball caress into that junction; go side to side; or my favorite, spin the ball in the palm like you’re juicing oranges. When you finish your hand will feel juicy and pliable.
This is how you stay pain-free at work.”
