Buteyko breathing technique
Participants will be advised to sit in a comfortable and relaxed position and take a shallow breath through nose, partially filling the lungs. Hold breath for 2-3 seconds and exhale slowly through the nose and emptying the lungs.
Chest Wall Mobilization
It started with positioning, sitting or standing with good posture, and relaxing shoulders and arms. Hands were placed on the chest with fingers wide and thumbs on side of ribcage. Inhale deep breaths with expansion of chest and hands move outward. Exhale slowly allowed the chest to drop and the hands to move inward.
