Do you breathe properly?
Breathing Why is there a whole category up there for breathing you might be asking? If you clicked this page and are reading this far then it’s an important step. Incorrect breathing patterns cause a host of problems in the longer term and before we go further here are some of the most common I see in clinic…
- Neck and Shoulder pain and tightness
- Headaches
- Lowback pain…no really, it’s often linked I assure you!
- Panic attacks
- Shortness of breath
- ‘Brain Fog’ …cloudy thinking..if you have it you’ll know what I mean here
What is your posture like? Rounded shoulders? Tight shoulders always up near your ears especially when stressed? Head a bit too far forward? Upper back a bit more rounded than you remember? Lower back tight or even sore and a bit too curved in the way? If any or all apply to you or someone you know then you’re reading the right page. I specialise in breathing rehabilitation as well as treating the symptoms. Use the contact page if you’d like an appointment or some more information. Here is a questionnaire you can use to help determine if you have any symptoms.
