I am working on gathering the research. To date my findings are based on 40+ years of clinical - hands-on work and training. I would be happy to speak with you about the techniques and strategies I have used successfully to enhance pulmonary function in all types of patients. [email protected]; 800-318-8593

Pulmonary function related with bad posture was investigate in my doctoral study.

and it is explain in one my study after that,

All children with bad posture have decrease pulmonary function and after inclusion of Schrot exercises 3 times per week, 30 min. daily, 3 months, the function was increase together with correction of bad posture, The exercises is showing in my book Idiopatic scoliosis. Idiopatic scoliosis is monography of my magistar work.

There is a dutch Professor who wrote a lot about pulmonary function. His name is Rik Gosselink. You will probably find his Emailadres in his publications in Pubmed. I´ve experienced that he is very approachable. I´ve read somewhere in his publications that the abdominal wall is important for functioning of the diaphragma: if the abdominal wall isn´t stable, the intestines folllow gravity and the Diaphragma is flattened and so it´s not able to fully function. Hope it helps

Thank you Geert.  I will get in touch with Professor Gosselink.  Good luck with your research project too.
