Frenzel Equalization – The 99% Fix
Fail to equalize? The problem is not pressure… it’s control.
Most divers their diaphragme to equalise !
Step 1 is learning to move air with the soft palate —Tongue (Base of Tongue) to act like a piston to push air upward.
⸻
🔹 Step 1
Send air to the mouth → close the throat → push it out through the nose.
(This helps you feel the soft palate opening.)
🔹 Step 2
Pinch your nose — without using the lungs — push air from the mouth into the nose.
You should feel vibration in the nostrils, air moving toward the Eustachian tubes.
A small pop means it’s working.
🔹 Step 3
Begin like Step 2.
Create a vacuum by pulling air back through the nostrils with the tongue down — hold 3s.
Then reverse: press the tongue up against the soft palate to inflate the nostrils — hold 3s.
This develops true muscle memory for Frenzel
🔁 Repeat this exercise daily to build true control.
This is how 99% of my students finally master Frenzel.
