1. INTRODUCTION There are many global connections between the three diaphragms. As stated by Andrew Taylor Still‚ “all parts of the body have direct and indirect connection with the diaphragm” (Frymann‚ 1968).

Lesions and/or restrictions in the function of one of the three diaphragms will‚ directly
