Summary

This study looked at whether adding deep breathing or simple yoga poses to standard physical therapy could help people with knee osteoarthritis feel less afraid of moving. 40 adults aged 40-60 with severe knee pain took part. The results showed that both approaches helped reduce fear of movement, but deep breathing with physical therapy worked better than yoga poses with physical therapy.
