Manual breathing therapy for women with rheumatoid arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests if manual diaphragm release can help improve breathing in women with rheumatoid arthritis. It may be an option if you have mild lung issues and want to try a non-drug therapy.
