The goal of this research study is to compare the effects of pelvic alignment versus diaphragmatic breathing on range of motion in the shoulder joint in both athletic and nonathletic population. The investigators plan to have approximately 45 participants to take part in this study. Subjects will be assigned into three groups. Group 1 will perform both pelvic alignment and diaphragmatic breathing exercises. This group will be used as the standard or control group. Group 2 will perform pelvic alignment exercise only; and Group 3 will perform diaphragmatic exercises only. The shoulder internal rotation range will be assessed in all three groups. Maximal expiratory rate will be measured in group 3 to assure improved diaphragmatic breathing in subjects. The shoulder internal rotation range in group 2 \& 3 will be compared to the shoulder range of motion in the standard group.
