The Breathwork Course – How adequate breathing rehab can help our thoracic patients.

Outline
The breathwork online course will explore the breathing mechanics, anatomy and physiology of the thorax and how improving our patients Breathwork can be incorporated into our treatment and rehab protocols for post-surgical patients, cardio-pulmonary conditions, thoracic injuries and more to serve in the better management of patients.

Objectives
o We will revise the extensive anatomy of the lungs and thorax and all the relevant muscular, spinal, neural and fascial structures that influence / facilitate Breathing.
o We will revise the physiology of breathwork and it’s role with the CNS towards maintaining adequate vascular oxygenation and healing.
o We will explore efficient breathing mechanics and principles of upregulating and downregulating these to effect the CNS.
o We will touch on various thoracic conditions that can benefit from treating and rehabbing our patients using breathwork and functional thoracic mobilisation.

Take home message
Breathwork is an automatic tool in our own lives yet often overlooked due to the automatic nature of breathing. However, in patients with thoracic pathologies, by using breathwork we can help them to improve their own breathing techniques and oxygenation to help them adapt and recover from their ailments.

In this 3 hour online course we empower ourselves as physios to use it as a tool to facilitate our patients healing and recovery and their return to full thoracic function.
