hypopressive breathing technique
These exercises involved "sucking in the abdomen" and opening the ribs by engaging the accessory inspiratory muscles, such as the serratus anterior, external intercostalis, scalenes, and sternocleidomastoid, while maintaining the glottis closed, a process known as "diaphragmatic suction.
hypopressive breathing
Hot pack for 10min.Hypopressive breathing in sitting, lying and standing position. Hypopressive breathing 2 times/weekly, 5sec hold, 2-3reps, 1-2sets for 12 weeks. Session will be weekly progress.
noble technique
The Noble technique is (partially sitting up while manually flexing the rectus Abdominis muscles.
noble technique
Hot pack for 10min. Noble technique in relaxed supine position 2time/weekly, 3-5sec hold, 10-15reps, 2-3sets for 12 weeks. Session will be weekly progress.
