Respiratory mechanics can be significantly altered due to the posture of the body, and respiratory mechanics can vary with age and sex. As a person ages respiration is altered by increased curvature in the thoracic spine coupled with a loss in tone in the abdominal muscles. A combination of quality abdominal exercises and ELDOA addresses both of this issues.
