Abdominal bloating and distension (ABD) are the most commonly gastrointestinal symptoms reported by patients with various functional gut disorders such as functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome and it is frequently associated with constipation. The pathophysiology of ABD is complex, often multifactorial and poorly understood.

Interventions
Group 1 (exercise and self-manual approaches targeting only the diaphragm muscles)
Both groups will receive the patient education before treatment. Diaphragmatic stretching technique, pectoral muscle relaxation, diaphragmatic mobilisation, thoracic mobilisation and diaphragmatic breathing. Exercise and self-manual approaches will be performed at home 3 times a day for 8 repetitions for 4 weeks and approximately 45-60 minutes.
Group 2 (exercise and self-manual approaches targeting both diaphragm and core muscles)
İn addition to Group 1, patients in group 2 will receive, abdominal massage, abdominal mobilisation, stabilisation exercises and pelvic floor muscle training. Exercise and self-manual approaches will be performed at home 3 times a day for 8 repetitions for 4 weeks and approximately 45-60 minutes.
