This study intended to examine the effect of manual diaphragm release on pulmonary function, chest wall mobility, and functional ability in female occupational cleaners with respiratory hazards.
Cleaning chores have been linked to exposure to various chemical agents that have the potential to cause harmful effects on both the respiratory system and cardiovascular markers, many cleaning products and disinfectants contain ingredients that can act as airway irritants. One of the physical therapy procedures that is used to manage chest disorders is manual diaphragm release which aims to lengthen the diaphragm musculature whereas encouraging better and more proficient contraction.
