Combined Treatment of Manual Therapy and Therapeutic Exercise in Patients With Low Back Pain

"Exercises:~* Pelvic tilt.~* brinding.~* cuadruped arm/leg raise.~* Abdominal strengthening exercises.~* Low-back muscles stretching.~* The side bridge.~* Side leg separation"

"1. Functional diaphragm balancing technique: gentle vertical pressure was applied for 5 minutes at the diaphragm level.~2. Muscle fiber stretching technique: a cranial traction was performed from the lower edge of the costal arches during the inspiratory breathing phase, for more than 10 respiratory cycles.~3. Phrenic-center inhibition technique (Figure 3C): the soft tissue was pumped during the expiratory phase by gently and simultaneously using both hands to create pressure in cranial and caudal direction, for more than 10 respiratory cycles."
