The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate effects of diaphragmatic release techniques on posterior chain flexibility and lumbar spine amplitude. Respiratory muscle strength and chest cavity mobility in healthy women.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the immediate effects of diaphragmatic release techniques on posterior chain flexibility and lumbar spine amplitude; Respiratory muscle strength and chest cavity mobility in healthy women. This is an intervention study with a randomized controlled trial design. The randomized study in two groups, the Intervention Group in which two diaphragmatic release techniques were performed and the Control Group where two placebo techniques were applied in 75 participants between 18 and 35 years of age. For intragroup analysis the paired Student t test was used, comparing the outcomes before and after the intervention and for intergroup analysis the independent Student t test.

The purpose is to generate the stretch of the peripheral fibers of the diaphragm, being performed with the patient in the supine position and the physiotherapist standing on the patient's head and Pulling the Your costal arch In the cephalic direction, for one minute, twice
Second technique aims to promote the rhythmic stretching of the double psoas diaphragm pillars, being performed with The patient in the ventral position and the therapist standing at his side placing the ulnar border of his cephalic hand on the last ribs and his caudal hand flattened in front of the popliteal fossa of the popliteal fossa, stretching was done for one minute
Thoracic Mobility
Thoracic mobility was measued with a tape as an evaluation tool.
