Breathlessness in sport is more complex than most people realise. Every sport places unique demands on the bosy and those demands shape how you breathe.

Your breathing could be the missing link between where you are now and your full potential.

Let's uncover the connection between your sport, your breathing pattern and performance.

Whether it's surfing, Hyrox, climbing, cycling or running, each disapline challenges the body differently and that affects how you breathe and how effectively you use your breath.

Breathe better to life better.

Breathing is one of the few autonomic functions you can consciously control.

It is a direct pathway to influence the nervous system.

Slow, controlled breaths out increase 'rest and digest' - your parasymathetic pathway.

Fast shallow breaths are simulators exciting the 'flight and freeze' sympathetic pathway.

Pacing your breathing regularly lowers physiological stress and improves emotional regulation.

Breathing control is not a fad, it's a science. Daily practice is key, it's a key habit to build into your day to improve resilience and calm.

✨BREATHING PATTERN DISORDER IS OFFICIAL✨

The ACPRC released their journal of articles and it was so refreshing to see Breathing Pattern Disorder featured.

Im so grateful for the hard work from , and their colleagues spending time to start shaping the future of BPD. This debilitating condition is finally getting the light it deserves and it all starts with clearly defining it.

The complexity of this condition is underestimated and misunderstood so it's special to be part of the community getting this message out and helping people regain control of their breathing and improving the quality of their lives.

It's incredible what can happen when you relearn how to breathe.

Assessing breathing pattern dysfunction, working on movement, altering breath flow, and relaxing the nervous system, enables us to feel balanced, calm and in control.

When your breathing changes, everything changes.

It's a privilege to receive feedback like this and I'm grateful for the many patients I have supported.

I have been quiet on social media this year - prioritising excellence in clinical practice and juggling family life. But please know, while things may seem quiet on here, the clinic is not and for me, that's the best kind of balance.

Nasal Rehabilitation , WHY?
Struggling to breathe through your nose? Suffering with nasal stuffiness? Post nasal drip? Irritation in your throat such as throat clearing or cough? Changes in your voice? Want to work out but struggling with breathlessness and fatigue? Or stagnating and what to run faster or cycle harder?

Take A Breath Physio can help with your nasal needs. The body sees you as a whole not segmented parts. If your nose isn't clear then you can't breathe efficiently. This has a direct effect on your throat, lungs and then any output such as movement, memory, breathing, voice and nervous system.

Whether you have an existing lung condition, allergies, post nasal surgery or just struggling to nasal breath contact us now for a full assessment, virtually or face to face.
