Breathwork
Breathwork can be useful to anyone: it can be used to enhance your physical performance, or relieve the suffering associated with stress, chronic pain, recurring injury or fatigue, including post-Covid.
The potential benefits include:
-
an increased sense of well-being, calm and clarity
-
improved posture
-
an increased ability to deal with stress
-
greater energy levels
A breathing pattern assessment may involve:
-
a pre-treatment questionnaire
-
blood oxygen level and heart rate reading
-
a breath hold test
-
observational and hands-on assessment of diaphragmatic and global movement patterns
Treatment includes hands-on and mobility techniques to improve your breathing pattern, and a personalised home programme with breathing drills to practice, self-mobilisation techniques and self-release points.
