I've been thinking about this over lunch, and I think the internal pressure you create in reverse breathing adds to the stretching potential. I should have just written that - it would have been shorter
(It also helps to initiate the back bow, but more of that.... later....)

No, you should call it belly breathing. All breathing (outside of very nasty diseases) is diaphragmatic breathing. Although, if I recall correctly, "breathing" technically only refers to exhalation, so maybe you should call it "abdominally dynamic respiration", or something like that. 'Cause that's totally clear...

Well that isn't a term that I just pulled out of my ass :P . If you do a PubMed search on the term you can find it used alongside terms like 'deep breathing' in numerous studies across a number of disciplines.
I don't think anyone is suggestion that the diaphragm isn't used in all breathing in those studies or here.
I am pretty sure this isn't the topic of the thread however. :)
Thanks
I was mostly just giving you a hard time, but it is worth occasionally pointing out where - even in PubMed - people use an approximation because it's common terminology or "close enough",
