Breathing is something people generally take for granted; not realising that the quality of their breathing has a profound effect on the quality of their life – physically, psychologically and emotionally.
Learning how to breathe optimally is something every body needs to know in order to maintain optimal health and wellbeing and develop better quality of life.
Unbalanced, dysfunctional breathing can also be the principal cause of, or a contributing factor in, the development or onset of a range of symptoms and conditions, including:
| Asthma Allergies/sensitivities Angina/chest pain Dizziness/fainting Hypertension/high blood pressure Fatigue/low energy/stamina Chronic fatigue/ fibromyalgia Headache/migraine Poor memory/ concentration Dry/itchy skin/eczema |
Sleep apnoea Snoring Insomnia Night-time toilet trips Sore muscles/lactic acid build-up Gastric reflux Diarrhoea and/or constipation Irritable bowel Nasal congestion/ rhinitis/sinusitis Abdominal cramping |
Nervousness/stress/panic/anxiety Irritable/emotional Sweaty palms/hands Bloating/flatulence Shortness of breath in specific or varied circumstances Cold hands/feet Numbness or tingling around lips and/or extremities Neck/shoulder tension Excessive yawning/sighing/ coughing Orthodontic work |
