Although breathing exercises are accessible, cost-effective, and non-invasive interventions known to improve ventilatory efficiency, autonomic regulation, and core stabilization, their multidimensional impacts in healthy populations remain underexplored. Most existing literature focuses on isolated outcomes or clinical cohorts. This clinical trial aims to evaluate the comprehensive effects of structured breathing exercises (diaphragmatic breathing and thoracic expansion exercises) in healthy adults. Specifically, the study investigates changes in pain intensity, dyspnea severity, postural align
