A very good study emphasising on the depression, anxiety and quality of life during this pandemic. As along with the pandemic many people are facing such issues which are generally neglected and hence have an impact on our mental health.

Author has focused on patients breathing pattern, leading with the soft tissue release and concluding with a exercises which will help to strengthen the weak muscle. As the Patient Age is 56, was suffering from anxiety and depression, it effects the breathing pattern and lead to weakness of the cervical muclse.The Intervention used in the case has focused everything. The case is described properly.

More than three quarter of adults report physical and emotional symptoms of stress and with qurantien it had increased further, a very good article to cope up with it. Physiotherapy has always proven benificial in which ever area it is applied.

Exercise has always been beneficial in musculoskeletal pain and this article has added to our knowledge that it also acts as a stress buster. During this pandemic, as manual contact is avoidable, exercise therapy will prove as a boon for the society. Great work.

Perfectly Articulated research.. Pandemic has put adverse effects on physical as well as mental health of population of all age groups...But children and elderly people are going through more disturbances in their well being.. And these effects will last longer.. So to overcome these...it's a must thing to indulge ourselves in physical activities... Furthermore this study will help other Physiotherapists to deal with the patients showing the same symptoms..
