Breathing Essentials: Breathing Pattern Disorders

Discover how altered breathing patterns impact your overall health and well-being. This course explores the often-overlooked connection between your breath and physical health, revealing how stress, pain, and injury can disrupt your body's biochemistry and lead to negative consequences.

Learn why faulty breathing is frequently a contributing factor to spinal dysfunctions, and how it can perpetuate pain in conditions like fibromyalgia, somatic dysfunction, neck pain, and upper extremity pain.

In this comprehensive course, you will:

• Understand the profound effects of altered breathing patterns on your body.
• Define somatic dysfunctions and their impact on physical health.
• Explore the role of an overriding autonomic nervous system and paradoxical breathing.
• Investigate the consequences of diaphragmatic dysfunction.
• Learn how altered breathing alters the biomechanics of the cervical spine, shoulders, and lower back.

This evidence-based course, grounded in scientific research, delves into the physiology and biomechanics of poor breathing patterns. You'll gain practical knowledge and develop techniques through dedicated breathing exercises and integrated practice throughout the course. Take control of your health by understanding and correcting your breathing!
