What this trial is about
Parkinson's patients suffer from respiratory distress for different reasons. It is thought that physiotherapy methods that have an indirect effect on the diaphragm can improve respiratory functions. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of spinal mobilization and diaphragmatic breathing techniques on respiratory function.
