The Problem
Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory
disease of the airways characterised by
various and recurring symptoms, reversible
airflow obstruction, and bronchospasm.
Symptoms include wheezing, coughing,
chest tightness, and shortness of breath.

The Solution
Sometimes associated with allergies, the
neck muscles (anterior and posterior) are
related to the functioning of the sinuses
as they are important in drainage from the
head and the scalp, as well as for immune
responses.
