.Abstract
Breathing pattern disorders (BPD) are frequently observed in adolescents, often resulting from
postural alterations. Suboptimal posture, particularly forward head posture, thoracic kyphosis, and
muscle imbalances, can impair normal respiratory mechanics, leading to dysfunctional breathing
patterns. This literature review examines the relationship between postural alterations and BPD in
adolescents, synthesizing key research findings, assessment methodologies, and potential
interventions. Studies indicate that postural education, breathing retraining, exercise-based
interventions, and manual therapy can effectively ameliorate respiratory function and postural
alignment. Further research is warranted to develop standardized interventions for managing BPD
in adolescents.
