Manual Diaphragm Release Technique

The participant will assume a supine position with relaxed limbs. The therapist should position themselves at the head of the participant and make manual contact with the pisiform, hypothenar region, and the last three fingers on both sides, underneath the seventh to tenth rib costal cartilages. The therapist's forearms should be aligned towards the participant's shoulders. During the inspiratory phase, the therapist gently pulled the points of contact with both hands in the direction of the head and slightly laterally, accompanying the elevation of the ribs. During exhalation, the therapist deepens their contact towards the inner costal margin while maintaining resistance. As the respiratory cycles continues, the therapist progressively increases the depth of their contact within the costal margin.

Breathing Exercise

Sit up straight in a chair lengthen the distance between your navel and sternum. Keep your shoulders relax. Keep the pelvis in neutral position (Sit on your sitting bones). Place your hands at either side of your lower ribs. Breath in slowly through your nose. As you inhale feel your ribs expanding outwards and upwards. During inhalation is generated expansion of the trunk in three directions front , sides and back. Breath out from your nose. As you exhale feel your lower ribs moving inwards.
