The Effects of Daily Polyvagal Exercises on Stress in Students of Physical Therapy
Sponsor: Dominican University New York
Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether specific breathing exercises can stimulate the polyvagal system and thus decrease stress in healthy students of physical therapy. The hypothesis is that practicing daily polyvagal breathing exercises will result in decreased stress/anxiety in physical therapy students compared to the control group who will not be receiving any intervention.
