Does breathing play a role in lower back pain and (how) can a manual therapist deal with it?

Description
The first part explains whether and in what way lagerugpjin is related to respiratory (sdysfunctions). For instance, lower back pain may be associated with respiratory symptoms and conditions such as shortness of breath, allergy, asthma, bronchitis and COVID-19. Persons with asthma or COPD are also more likely to develop lower back pain. Persons with lower back pain may also show a more shallow breathing pattern, decreased strength and enlarged fatigue of the diaphragm. The diaphragm appears to play a factor in the relationship between lower back pain and breathing given its dual role in both breathing and trunk control. In a second part, it is explained whether and what evidence there is for active (physiotherapeutic) interventions aimed at breathing, more specifically in persons with lower back pain. A distinction is made between breathing interventions aimed at slow deep breathing, respiratory resistance training and exercises to become aware of breathing. Finally, it provides guidance on how the contemporary physiotherapist can implement this knowledge in clinical practice.
