Research Methods : The research method is experimental, case studies are used in the research design, and data collection techniques are used Pre and Post drops. The sampling technique is random sampling. Examination of dyspnea from respiratory rate and borg scale, while for examination of thorax expansion using the mid line.

Result : After doing therapy 3 times, there was a decrease in shortness as evidenced by the Borg scale from a scale of 5 to a scale of 3, a decrease in respiratory rate from 28 to 23 and measurements of thorax expansion which showed a difference in increase.
