“…Furthermore, knowing how the diaphragm moves allows a clinician to correctly evaluate and manually work the most mobile areas, influencing the resulting treatment in a more efficient way. Too often, manual evaluations use the anterior area as an important functional mirror of the mobility of the diaphragm (parasternal/anterior costal area), by placing the hands under the sternum and ribs, whereas we know that it is an anatomical area with minimal diaphragmatic movement [12, 14, 16, 61]. Trying to understand how the muscle mass of the diaphragm moves by placing the hands only under the sternum-ribs anteriorly is a conceptual error.…”

“…Several studies in the literature have used the anterior approach to understand or palpate the movement of the diaphragm [61, 66-68]. Considering that in this region the muscle only moves a few millimeters, we can say posterior palpation will be more indicative, probably, of the overall movement of the diaphragm.…”

The eupneic act in healthy subjects involves a coordinated combination of functional anatomy and neurological activation. Neurologically, a central pattern generator, the components of which are distributed between the brainstem and the spinal cord, are hypothesized to drive the process and are modeled mathematically. A functionally anatomical approach is easier to understand although just as complex. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is part of osteopathic medicine, which has many manual techniques to approach the human body, trying to improve the patient’s homeostatic response. The principle on which OMT is based is the stimulation of self-healing processes, researching the intrinsic physiological mechanisms of the person, taking into consideration not only the physical aspect, but also the emotional one and the context in which the patient lives. This article reviews how the diaphragm muscle moves, with a brief discussion on anatomy and the respiratory neural network. The goal is to highlight the critical issues of OMT on the correct positioning of the hands on the posterolateral area of the diaphragm around the diaphragm, trying to respect the existing scientific anatomical-physiological data, and laying a solid foundation for improving the data obtainable from future research. The correctness of the position of the operator’s hands in this area allows a more effective palpatory perception and, consequently, a probably more incisive result on the respiratory function.

Autoimmune diseases of the nervous system are characterized by the formation of a pronounced neurological deficit and often lead to disability. The attention of doctors and researchers is increasingly attracted to complementary medicine as an adjuvant r preventive therapy for various diseases, including autoimmune diseases. Complementary medicine is a collection of treatments that include manual therapy, osteopathy, chiropractic, kinesiology, craniosacral therapy, and other methods that are often used in conjunction with established approaches of conventional medical science. The article describes the use of complementary medicine methods for autoimmune diseases of the nervous system and demonstrates the clinical experience of using diets, osteopathic techniques, and exercise therapy. Traditional and complementary medicine is an important and often underestimated healthcare resource with many applications, especially in the prevention and treatment of autoimmune diseases of the ner vous system.
