Measure	Diaphragmatic Release The stretching of the peripheral fibers of the diaphragm Diaphragm lift: 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 Relaxation of the diaphragm pillars: 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	Diaphragmatic Release Control In both placebo techniques, only the light touching of the contacts of the volunteers' skin Diaphragm lift: 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 Relaxation of the diaphragm pillars: 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
