Diaphragmatic breathing, often known as belly breathing, strengthens the diaphragm. The diaphragm is one of the most vital muscles for breathing. When you have COPD, the air gets trapped in your lungs and pushes against your lungs. As a result, persons with COPD breathe more through the neck, shoulder, and back muscles than with their diaphragm.
