Summary

Evaluate the effect of manual diaphragmatic release on exercise capacity, inspiratory muscles strength, symptoms severity, and health-related quality of life in women diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

Conditions

  • Fibromyalgia

Interventions

OTHER

Manual Diaphragmatic Release

Thrice a week for 8 weeks, the participant will assume a supine position with relaxed limbs. The therapist will 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. During the inspiratory phase, the therapist gently pulls the contact points toward the head and slightly laterally, progressively deepening contact within the costal margin over successive respiratory cycles to release restriction.

OTHER

Aerobic Training

3 sessions per week consisting of 30-45 minutes of cycling at low-to-moderate intensity on a cycle ergometer. Intensity will be managed at a workout heart rate ranging between 60% to 70% of the maximal heart rate, accompanied by a brief warm-up and cool-down phase.
