The recent discussion peaked my interest because I just spent two days
watching Keith Underwood teach, very interesting. My question involves the
concept of "diaphragmatic support". My understanding of the diaphragm is
that it helps draw the air in, but is not involved in the "support" of the
exhalation. My understanding is that the abdominals and other muscles
surrounding the thoracic cavity are responsible for the support. Maybe it is
just a question of how we name the muscles we are using , but I welcome some
clarification.
