Functional Nasal Rehabilitation research
I’m very pleased with my latest published article about our recent research using my Functional Nasal Rehabilitation program.
Results from this new study show that nasal breathing can be improved with nasal breathing exercises.
There are so many benefits from nasal breathing throughout the body. FNR is a comprehensive but relatively simple approach that works on the correction of a range of issues that perpetuate mouth breathing and nasal obstruction.
Integrative approaches to improving breathing
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
- asthma and COPD
- mouth breathing
- hyperventilation
- snoring and sleep apnea
- dysfunctional and stress-related breathing issues.
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 issues
Breathing can become dysfunctional because of stress, asthma or other causes. Dysfunctional breathing can reduce quality of life and produce various symptoms. My Integrative Breathing Therapy programs for adults and children are designed to help correct poor breathing habits and make breathing more efficient and functional.
Therapies and treatment
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.

Osteopathic 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:
- back and neck pain
- pelvic pain
- muscle tension
- headache
- craniofacial pain
- TMJ dysfunction
I treat children and babies as well as adults and tailor the treatment to suit the patient’s age, condition and presenting problem.
Integrative Breathing Therapy professional training
This online 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, biomechanical and pyschophysiological 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
- Self-Evaluation of Breathing Questionnaire (SEBQ)
- Manual Assessment of Respiratory Motion (MARM)
- and other validated and evidence based assessment tools and protocols.
