Abstract: Limited airflow is a defining feature of COPD, a respiratory disease that frequently results in reduced thoracic movement and compromised lung function. The diaphragm, which is the main breathing muscle, is essential for healthy lung expansion and ventilation. The diaphragm muscle’s flexibility and mobility are intended to be enhanced via diaphragmatic stretching. This method can enhance respiratory health and assist in returning the diaphragm to its original state. Patients with COPD may benefit from improved… Show more
