Causes
Would it be possible to clarify in this article how wide a scope of causes are known to exist? Blunt/penetrative trauma is sort of vague. I am wondering if perhaps extreme exercise could also cause this. Like say for example, if you were in a position of spinal instability, as I am aware the diaphragm plays a role in stabilizing the core. If one was doing a very heavy barbell squat or deadlift for example, could the reliance on the diaphragm to stabilize the spine strain it and cause one of the side tendons to tear? Or if one was doing a standing backbend and trying to hold it for too long, if you had strong abs but a weak diaphragm could the diaphragm be what gives out?

My concerns with these are particularly in the case of untrained persons. People who use their muscles more I expect would have stronger diaphragms and diaphragmatic tendons which would be more resistant to injury. 184.146.167.125 (talk) 18:10, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
