Simple Self-Tests to Assess Breathing

December 4, 2019 By Bill Leave a Comment

We can use shoulder flexion and hip flexion as self-tests to assess your ability to breathe effectively.

There are other simple tests like a toe touch or squat, but they may allow compensatory strategies to achieve the end result.

I’m more in favor of the asymmetrical tests as you can test both extremes of inhalation to exhalation simultaneously.
