Abdominal Muscles During Exhalation: Apposition vs. Opposition (PRI Balloon Technique)

In PRI, every technique is designed to either inhibit or facilitate activity of muscle chains that are activated differentially with the inhalation and exhalation phases of breathing. Muscles that can help to reduce the activity of other overactive muscles are referred to as opposition muscles. The most important muscle in PRI science is the diaphragm. If you maximize the position and function of the diaphragm, especially on the left, you win big. If not, all bets are off. The opposition muscles to the diaphragm are the internal obliques and transverse abdominals. They help the diaphragm relax by positioning the rib cage in such a way that the diaphragm cab fully re-establish its domed shape during exhalation. Once this zone of apposition between the inner surface of the ribs and the coastal portion of the diaphragm is formed, the abdominal muscles must be kept active through the inhalation phase of respiration in order to achieve proper rib cage expansion and thoracic mobility. In this video, we discuss these concepts and demonstrate the basic PRI balloon technique, which is extremely powerful in retraining abdominals to create a zone of apposition and abdominal opposition with inhalation.
