Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the immediate effect of diaphragm release technique applied to healthy adults on diaphragmatic mobility and slow vital capacity.
 Methods: This study included 21 healthy participants (13 males and 8 females). The participants performed exercises 10 times in 1 set diaphragm release technique, with a total of 3 sets. Before and after the intervention of the diaphragm release technique, diaphragmatic mobility was assessed using ultrasound, and slow vital capacity was evaluated using a portable digital spirometry device.
 Results: After the diaphragm release technique intervention, diaphragmatic mobility significantly increased in quiet breathing and deep breathing. In the case of slow vital capacity, only vital capacity increased significantly.
 Conclusion: Diaphragmatic mobility and slow vital capacity were affected by the diaphragm release technique, and it is believed that the diaphragm release technique will be useful as an intervention method in order to improve respiratory function.
