Assessing and Correcting Breathing Dysfunction (1 day course)
Chicago 16 Sept – This is a great opportunity to learn more about assessing and correcting breathing dysfunction and to deepen your understanding of how to apply my integrative approach and ‘EAARS’ model to solve a range of movement, posture, pain and breathing problems. Details

Learning good breathing habits and improving breathing efficiency and function can in some cases be an important part of an overall management plan for people with
Find out more: On this website you can read about how dysfunctional breathing and poor breathing habits can affect people with these conditions and why an integrative approach to correcting these involves a multidisciplinary approach.
Breathing can become less than optimal or even dysfunctional because of stress, asthma or other causes. Dysfunctional breathing can reduce quality of life and produce various symptoms. My programs for adults and children are designed to help correct poor breathing habits and to breathe more efficiently and functionally.
Integrative breathing therapy is based on my 35 years’ experience as an osteopath and my PhD research into dysfunctional breathing and breathing therapy. It involves a breathing assessment and then individualised recommendation for treatment.

I use a range of osteopathic hands-on techniques including massage, mobilisation, muscle energy techniques and manipulation. I also teach my patients exercises to improve their posture, movement patterns and muscular skeletal function. Common conditions treated with osteopathy and exercise therapy include:
I treat children and babies as well as adults and tailor the treatment to suit the patient’s age, condition and presenting problem.
This course provides an comprehensive overview of the anatomy, psychology, functions and dysfunctions of breathing. You will receive in-depth training in relevance, assessment and treatment of the neuromuscular and biomechanical dimensions of breathing functionality.
The course will give you hands-on and practical training in the use of a number of evidence based assessment tools developed by me, such as the
