This trial is testing whether a simple neck stretching technique called scalene hold relax, combined with breathing exercises, can help improve lung function in people with allergic asthma. You would either receive the neck stretching technique along with standard breathing exercises, or just the standard breathing exercises alone. The goal is to see if the neck stretching adds extra benefit beyond what breathing exercises alone can do.
Many people with asthma struggle to manage their symptoms even with standard treatments. Researchers want to explore whether physical therapy techniques that target the muscles involved in breathing might help improve lung function and give people better control over their asthma.

You would come in for sessions over 1 to 4 weeks. Depending on which group you're in, you'll either learn and practice neck stretching exercises (holding a gentle head tilt for 5–10 seconds, repeated 10 times) or standard breathing exercises (like slow, controlled breathing through your nose). These sessions would happen 2–3 times per week, and you may be asked to practice at home between visits.
