Breathing Optimisation
Breathing Optimisation aims to increase your lung function, improve your wellbeing, enhance your performance, and build your confidence.
One of the most fundamental and basic bodily processes is breathing, yet when it comes to health, it rarely receives the attention it deserves. Our expert physiotherapists use the BradCliff breathing method to assess and tailor a program to your needs.
We help clients with long-standing conditions such as asthma or COPD and those suffering from chronic chest infections or long covid. We also assist clients to improve the quality of their sleep, manage anxiety and stress-related conditions and optimise athletic performance.
What is Disordered Breathing?
Disordered breathing can occur because of physical changes in the lungs (i.e. COPD, bronchiectasis, post-surgery), or due to a change in your natural pattern of breathing.
