Making a few simple changes to our rib cages will make a big difference to allow our lungs to get its maximum amount of oxygen to keep the cells of the body healthy. 😊

I took a gunshot wound to the chest twelve years ago, it fractured my ribs and pierced my lungs and I haven't been the same since. I have so much trouble breathing till this day and it's been 12 years. Breathing exercises help a little but I still have trouble breathing. Thank you so much doctor for your videos. May God bless you and each and every one of us. 🙏🏻

Hi I'm a paediatric physical therapist from last 25 years I strongly recommend these exercises I learn alot from you Thanx dr

Ive been having problems with my neck shoulder and back this helped even just in the first 5 min. We don't realize how tense we get

I do this every day five times a day that is performing prayer. Thanks

I am a Covid-19 survivor and today I started doing this exercise so my lungs will be back to normal. Thank you so much.

My lungs love you Dr Mandell , life has become so much easier. Thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi I have COPD. I would like to Thank You for doing this video! Over the last 30 days i have been doing them and up to twice a day now and are doing much better in walking which feels Great! Thank You Again!!

Another GREAT & INFORMATIVE video!! Thank you!! So many people are experiencing lung issues due to stress this past year and I’m one of them! I’m sure doing these exercises will improve lung capacity for not only me, but thousands of your readers!! Again, THANK YOU!!

Dr Mandell you are pouring science like a fountain of awareness to us all. God blessyou.

My lungs right now 👌

THANKS TO ALMIGHTY "ALLAH" THE CREATOR OF ALL , ASSEMBLED ALL TYPES OF EXERCISES IN THE FORM OF PRAYER , CALLED AS " NAMAZ". IMAGINE HW BENEFICIAL THIS PRAYER IS FOR OUR BODY , THAT HE KEPT IT AS MANDATORY FOR ' 5 ' TIMES A DAY. ALL PRAISES TO ONE AND ONLY GOD THE MOST MERCIFUL AND THE MOST BENEFICIENT. Thanks for your efforts DR MANDEL, and for showing the importance of the prayer . Now my faith has become much scientifically proved.!

Thank You!!!!Very helpful ❣️ These are easy exercises that I can do in the morning on my terass, greeting the new day😊 Five years ago I had a very stressful period in my life; for about 2-3 years I could only ”top breathe” ie too stressed out to breathe properly. This caused some damage to my health with severe coughing (stress induced asthma). Not being able to breathe became an inhibition to all physical movements with weight gain as another unwanted result. Sitting in silence (silent adoration) in church (for two or three hours at the time) gave me relief when I was able to do it sometimes. Maybe with this simple routine of stretch exercises my rehab will speed up😉

It is awesome for sure. My lungs are feeling better

Thank you Dr. Alan for always having our best interest at heart. I noticed on your counter many powders and supplements. I do so wish that you could share with all of your subscribers what all you take to better yourself. We want to be better, as well. Sending blessings, good energy, and love your way...!!!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻❤

Makes me think of my dog who stretches his back all the time.

The best Doctor in the world in my opinion! I haven’t seen many Doctors on KZfaq or any other platforms who give sound advice about health matters without first telling their life stories totally unrelated to what they are selling and at the end of a long dragged out video the price and all the other unproven benefits of their product waste of time and money Dr. Mandell is the real deal we need more concerned Doctor’s like him who care about your health and not their wealth 🤬KUDOS AND BLESSINGS Dr. Mandell a true God send 🙏🏾

Doc I'm 53 and a runner. I've been struggling with the feeling of getting enough air to my lungs. I know this is going to help!! Thanks so much! Brian

He's always on time and the exact back muscle aches I'm experiencing this morning.I greatly appreciate you🙏🙏

I've been doing this stretch for 4 years and it's cool seeing a doctor's recommend it. It's a great stretch. I do another version, arms moving up from front to back while stretching hip flexor. Step forward locked together arms up.

This morning I and friends rode 12 miles on the mountain bikes in hilly country, elevation 7000 ft. I was feeling the limitations of my recent diagnosis of Bronchiectasis. Then I came home and watched this video. I did these exercises, following along with you while watching the video, I didn't imagine how powerful they could be. It's a half-hour later, and my lungs feel fantastic. My oxygen level has increased, and along with it my mental clarity and energy. I'm clearing mucus from my bronchioles, breathing deeper and easier, and feel I could go do the ride all over again. Thank you Doctor Mandell. These exercises are going to help me so much!

I have been doing these for a few days and already feel much better!

I’m slowly realizing my body struggles and self medicating, I could’ve been a dr or at least a physical therapist. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I have D.I.S.H. as well as severed right phrenic nerve from a tumor removal which has tremendously decreased my lung capacity over the years as the diaphragm has stopped working properly. I’ve been doing these back stretches for the last two years several times a day because they are the only thing that helps bring relief to my pain from my spine fusions and the nerve flares from all the spinal cord damage I’ve suffered recently. These as well as any kind of leg stretch I can throw in every time I get up, or I’m not able to walk very far without stumbling and nearly falling. I can still ride my bike though!! Sometimes it takes me around mile 5-10 before my lungs fully open up and I’m able to finally breath properly, relax, slow my heart rate, and enjoy the rest of the miles. It’s frustrating. I’ll start adding those intercostal stretches in as well because I’m constantly pulling and even sometimes straining them when I’m having a really bad stiffness day(s) Thanks for your awesome videos. I’m on my path to a better quality of life through each new video! 🤟🏼

I'm breathing easier, after doing your breathing exercises!!! HOORAY! MY LUNGS LOVE ME NOW. THX DR. MANDELL.

I must say, I am absolutely AMAZED! It actually works... I did it exactly like the Doctor said. I feel the difference. My breathing is better. And. My posture appears to be better! No sh#t.... Thanks.

Thanks Doc. I felt the increase in lung capacity right away. Feels good to get that extra oxygen!

I have bad lungs, hope your suggested exercise will work. Thanks Doc.

You are amazing , always giving really good tips and helping people and i just want to say thanks to you 🙏 so many charlatan on youtube but you are sincere and we can feel your passion on what you are talking about 🤩

I share this with a family member and she was so thankful as I was and am when I came across this video. Than you doctor Mandel.

Wow! I intuitively have been doing these two stretches daily for years! I have a slight variation for the arm/side stretch: while I’m raising my right arm, I push my right leg down and press my foot firmly onto the floor. This has helped my hip flexors tremendously!!!!!

Thank you Doc, I suffer with spasms in my rib cage and in my back where my lungs are. and I have asthma so this exercise has really been helping me thank you very much for your guidance. God bless you Doc

Doctor,You are a wonderful man. I can't explain the result when I did the Stretching. I am a Yoga Teacher from India. Thank you Doctor....🙏🙏🙏

Wow!! Love this stretch!! I have been having lot lower back pain last few years. Age 57 and use to teached aerboics instructors over 20 years. I hope this help my low back pain as well! Thank for this excellents tips!! God Bless You!

Oh My Goodness!! This was so Helpful!! Thank You Dr. Mandell!!!

I'm Grateful that I watched your two (2) breathing exercise videos just before my workout that I do in my bedroom. Usually when I workout, I get winded and have to stop OFTEN to catch my breath. But this time, I did both of your breathing exercises BEFORE MY WORKOUT. I was able to workout for 25 minutes without stopping!!! Your breathing exercises made a BIG DIFFERENCE in how I was breathing during my workout. I will continue your breathing exercises daily, even on weekends when I don't workout. Thx Dr. Mandell. 💙

Thank you Dr Mandell. You are so kind and imparting all health exercises for All to know and help us to be healthy and happy. 😍😍

Thank you Dr. Mandel as always you make peoples life better everyday . Thank you again for your deduction to make a difference to human community.

Another GREAT ONE!! Thanks for All You Do for Us! We Need More people like You in the World! 😀😇😎🙏 Take Care, & be Safe. & may Heavenly Father Bless You in Many Ways!! 💜💕

thanks, Dr. I just shared this with a friend, who just had Corona C19, she has a breathing problem

Dr. This exercise of stretching back is same as I do in my prayer (sajdah)... 👍

....It’s a different angle , but i used to hang from the door frame with my fingers to stretch my shoulders ,,,,under a lot of shoulder strain with my job....guess it helped my lungs also.

THANK YOU..I didn't realize how long it's been since I actually stretched 🤗👍

Doc, I love ya! You’re the real deal. Thanks for watching out for us.❤️

Excellent exercises. Dumb bell flies and biceps curls will also make your lung imput feel much better. People with asthma naturally bend forward like that to make breathing easier. Our teacher used to tell us to stand up to breath after running. Leaning forward feels better.

Fantastic exercises! Thank you so much, Dr. Mandell. You are a gift!

I love Dr Mandel and these tips-PLEASE only breath in through your nose

I did them doc and that was an awesome stretch; going to watch this video several times. Peace :))

Ohh Doc.Mandell you are amazing indeed!👌God bless you and your family🙏❤

Good morning Dr. Mandell, thank you!

I'm doctor Alan mandell it sounds like I'm doctor angel mandell ❤️❤️

Wow Dr. Mandell! This is an awesome stretch👍. I must admit that I’ve never thought about stretching like the sink grip stretch. I never get that deep stretch when I just stretch at the counter. I’ve been a stretcher my whole life., thanks to Jack LaLaine that my Mom exercised to when I was very young. Paired with walks and swimming in the sun, keeps our minds and bodies well.😊 Thank you so much for showing these stretches. Blessings from Florida 🌺🐢🌴🐊🦩🪸🐚🐠🌊⚡️🌀🚀😎

Thank you Dr. Mandell. Those were terrific stretches. The lungs felt like amazing!
