Study Groups

Manual Diaphragmatic Release Technique
Manual Diaphragmatic Release Technique and Generalized Body Stretching
Manual Diaphragmatic Release Technique
Manual Diaphragmatic Breathing Technique, 2 sets with a 5 min rest interval between sets will be given, patient will lie supine in a relaxed position, Therapist will stand behind the patients head with the therapist forearm aligned towards patient shoulders, the hypothenar and the last three fingers of therapist hand will make contact bilaterally with underside of 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th ribs costal cartilages, Patient is instructed to inhale deeply, therapist will pull the contact sites towards head and slightly in a lateral direction, during expiration therapist increases the contact depth beneath costal margins and maintain the resistance, therapist will continue to increase the depth of contact in the coming deep breath. Initially patient will be asked to take 5 deep breath/ set in the first week then it will progress to 10 deep breaths in the second,third and fourth week.
Chest Wall Expansion Exercises
Chest Wall Expansion Exercises and generalized Body stretching
Chest Wall Expansion Exercises
Four different types of chest exercises will be given to second group for 2-3 days/week for 4 weeks along with generalized body stretching
