Breathing Exercises

Are you investing your time in breathing exercises?

Compared to normal aging , Parkinson’s patients have limited lung expansion , less effective cough, more swallowing difficulties, chest tightness and inspiratory muscle weakness which can lead to chest complications in advanced stages.

Performing Breathing exercises can help to keep the complications at bay by:

  • Relaxing your belly and tense muscles, which can help muscles work more efficiently.
  • Improving the strength of your diaphragm.
  • Getting more air into your lungs.
  • Helping to keep the chest clear.
  • Keeping the lungs and chest wall mobile.
  • Reducing anxiety , depression , stress , insomnia(lack of sleep).
