Summary
This study tested whether adding a diaphragm release technique to standard cardiac rehabilitation could improve sleep quality and lung function in 30 patients who had coronary artery bypass surgery. One group received standard rehab plus the diaphragm release, while the other received standard rehab alone. Researchers measured breathing, sleep, muscle strength, and pain levels during recovery.
