Summary
This study looked at whether adding a breathing technique called ujjayi pranayama (ocean breath) to osteopathic manipulative treatment could improve lung function and physical ability in college students with upper cross syndrome—a condition from poor posture caused by too much screen time. Forty students participated, and researchers measured their breathing and walking capacity. The goal was to see if this combination could ease symptoms like muscle imbalances and restricted breathing.
