This section of our website is aimed at health professionals who would like more information about Breathing Pattern Disorders

Below, you can find a number of leaflets and technical documents, which have been put together to support health professionals in their understanding of how physiotherapy techniques can support breathing pattern disorders. Feel free to use these in your own practice, and if you'd like further information then please don't hesitate to get in touch.

We have also recommended a number of books below, which explore in more detail the subject of Breathing Pattern Disorders from a health professional perspective. Naturally there are also the books that we recommend to the general public too, on the resources and media page

We offer a choice of courses. We run virtual courses throughout the year. Additionally we can come to your workplace to host a session for you. Please see the hosting a course and upcoming events pages for more information.
