Accreditation Check:

Abnormal or dysfunctional breathing has been identified as a clinical condition that affects one's general health and well-being, pain levels, and neuromusculoskeletal movement strategies/efficiency. Abnormal/dysfunctional breathing has been shown in the literature to accompany many of the conditions that physical and occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and athletic trainers treat clinically such as low back and neck pain, pelvic pain, anxiety, and depression. There is also emerging empirical evidence that retraining breathing to restore normal breathing patterns has been shown to improve functional outcomes and athletic performance. During this course, participants will observe manual therapy techniques that can be applied to facilitate normal breathing patterns in patients and athletes. Evidence-based therapeutic exercise and neuromuscular retraining strategies will be demonstrated as well. By the completion of this course, participants will gain the skills necessary to effectively integrate manual therapy and exercise strategies that facilitate normal breathing patterns into their clinical practice.
