Study Arms (2)

Diaphragmatic release

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The stretching of the peripheral fibers of the diaphragm

Procedure: Diaphragm lift; Procedure: Relaxation of the diaphragm pillars

Diaphragmatic release control

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

In both placebo techniques, only the light touching of the contacts of the volunteers' skin

Procedure: Diaphragm lift; Procedure: Relaxation of the diaphragm pillars

Interventions

Diaphragm lift PROCEDURE

The purpose is to generate the stretch of the peripheral fibers of the diaphragm, being performed with the patient in the supine position and the physiotherapist standing on the patient's head and Pulling the Your costal arch In the cephalic direction, for one minute, twice

Also known as: Diaphragmatic release 1

Diaphragmatic release; Diaphragmatic release control

Relaxation of the diaphragm pillars PROCEDURE

Second technique aims to promote the rhythmic stretching of the double psoas diaphragm pillars, being performed with The patient in the ventral position and the therapist standing at his side placing the ulnar border of his cephalic hand on the last ribs and his caudal hand flattened in front of the popliteal fossa of the popliteal fossa, stretching was done for one minute

Also known as: Diaphragmatic release 2

Diaphragmatic release; Diaphragmatic release control
