Breathing exercises help alleviate stress by activating the body's relaxation response. Techniques like deep breathing or diaphragmatic breathing slow down your heart rate, decrease blood pressure, and reduce the production of stress hormones like cortisol. They promote relaxation, increase oxygen supply to the brain, and stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system, which counters the fight-or-flight response, ultimately calming the mind and body. | Physical Therapy Session
