Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion Helpful Tips Breathing Excercises

Tim had posted re: breathing problems & since I've seen other posts re: breathing excercises I thought it would be helpful to post this link. It includes rib stretching excercises. I have never been given any direction by any of my Rheumies. This is the most complete set of excercises i have been able to find.

I am not Hindu but I do however believe that the Yogi & Masters in China know alot more than our western doctors pertaining to certain things-This being one of them.
