If you've unexpectedly developed problems with control of your diaphragm, the problem may be higher up.
Despite most of my body and playing being more or less useless, I've never had a problem with my diaphragm, it just does its job - until a couple of days ago.
I became aware of a fine tremor in my diaphragm. It didn't hurt, but made me sound like a nanny goat as I emptied my lungs.
So I asked 'im indoors, who said:
"How's your neck?"
"Killing me". I said, "What's that got to do with it?"
"We were taught a rhyme in college" he said. " 'C3, 4, 5*, Keeps the diaphragm alive'."
Then he kindly wrenched me about and today things are back to normal.
Hope this may be of use to somebody.
