Said invention is an apparatus that sits on the ground and is close to the ground. Users sit on a Seat Pan and lean back on parallel Rails. Said apparatus has a Pivot Point which allows users to rock back and inhale and rock forward and exhale. These simple actions help everyone breathe better. These simple actions reverses belly breathing, reengages diaphragm breathing and builds the core muscles necessary to support diaphragm breathing. Belly breathing is when the belly extends with a deep inhale. Diaphragm breathing is when the chest expands with a deep inhale. Not all belly breathers have COPD, but all COPD patients are belly breathers. Reengaging diaphragm breathing increases airflow thereby reducing symptoms of early COPD. Belly breathers have difficulty exhaling CO. CObuilds up creating an acidic environment, which is associated with many diseases. The Breathing Rocker helps eliminate CObuildup in the lungs. 1.
