Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Scapulothoracic mobilization

Scapulothoracic Mobilization and Buteyko Breathing Technique: Subjects lay supine with arms crossed, hands on opposite scapulae. The interventionist stabilized elbows and applied pressure to shoulders, with one hand on the spine using a loose fist to mobilize vertebrae. Various spinal motions-rotation, flexion, lateral flexion, and translation-were assessed. In a lateral position, the subject bent both knees and placed the upper arm on a cushion. The interventionist stood close, placing fingers under the scapula's medial border.

OTHER

Buteyko breathing

Buteyko Breathing: Subjects sat upright, relaxed respiratory muscles, and breathed gently through the nose. The sequence included calm nasal inhalation and exhalation using the diaphragm, followed by shallow inhalation and slow exhalation. A brief post-exhalation breath hold was added. The cycle was repeated for several minutes.
