Roadmap to the Body: Intersections of the Diaphragm (NDG)

Hours: 16 credits

You will learn the cross sections of the 5 major diaphragms of the body (pelvic, respiratory, thoracic, throat (oral), cranium).  At each diaphragm, we will go through in-depth anatomy of the structures that crosses over, intertwines and connects throughout the diaphragms.

Intersections of the Diaphragms

Advanced Anatomy, Physiology & Clinical Bodywork

Five diaphragms. Multiple connections. One interconnected body.

When we hear the word “diaphragm,” most of us immediately think of the respiratory diaphragm.

But what about the other diaphragms of the body? How are they connected? What anatomical structures pass through these regions, and how do their structural relationships contribute to the body’s overall function?

Welcome to Intersections of the Diaphragms, part of the Roadmap to the Body Series with Tony Eng.

This advanced, hands-on workshop explores the five major diaphragmatic regions of the body:

  • Pelvic Diaphragm
  • Respiratory Diaphragm
  • Thoracic Diaphragm
  • Throat (Oral) Diaphragm
  • Cranial Diaphragm

Through in-depth anatomical exploration, you’ll examine the cross-sections of each region, studying the structures that pass through, intertwine, and connect across the diaphragms.

The focus is on developing a deeper understanding of these anatomical relationships while connecting your knowledge of structure with the physiological functions of the body’s interconnected systems.

Because understanding anatomy is one thing. Discovering how everything connects is where it gets fascinating.


What Will You Explore?

The Five Major Diaphragms

Explore the anatomy of the pelvic, respiratory, thoracic, throat/oral, and cranial diaphragmatic regions.

Anatomical Cross-Sections

Take an in-depth look at the anatomical structures associated with each diaphragm and how they are organized within these regions.

Structural Relationships & Connections

Explore the structures that cross, intertwine, and connect through the different diaphragmatic regions, developing a broader understanding of their anatomical relationships.

Anatomy, Physiology & Body Systems

Deepen your understanding of the relationship between anatomical structure and physiological function, with an emphasis on how the body’s systems are interconnected.


Who Is This Workshop For?

Intersections of the Diaphragms is designed for experienced massage therapists and bodywork practitioners who enjoy exploring anatomy and physiology beyond the fundamentals.

This workshop is particularly suited to therapists who:

  • Have a strong interest in advanced anatomy and physiology.
  • Want to deepen their understanding of the body’s diaphragmatic regions.
  • Are curious about the anatomical structures that connect different areas of the body.
  • Enjoy exploring structural and functional relationships.
  • Want to expand their anatomical knowledge as part of their continuing professional education.

If you love discovering anatomical connections and understanding the body on a deeper level, this workshop is for you.


Part of the Roadmap to the Body Series

Intersections of the Diaphragms is part of Roadmap to the Body, an advanced educational series created by Tony Eng.

The series explores the anatomy, physiology, and interconnected pathways of the body’s systems, encouraging experienced therapists to deepen their understanding of structure, function, and their relationships.

Each workshop focuses on a different area of the body and may be taken individually according to your interests and professional development goals.
