Functional Breathwork

Breath Therapies Main Image

Enhance Your Wellbeing through Optimal Breathing

Functional breathing, also known as clinical breath retraining, is vital for maintaining both physical and mental health. By learning to breathe correctly, we can improve oxygen delivery and blood flow throughout the body, which has a profound impact on overall well-being.

Breathwork techniques can be particularly beneficial for addressing a range of health concerns, including:

  • Respiratory issues such as asthma, COPD, and post-viral breathing problems (including post-COVID recovery)
  • Sleep disturbances, including snoring, insomnia, and obstructive sleep apnoea
  • Anxiety, panic disorders, and racing thoughts
  • Pain management
  • Stress reduction
  • Enhancing exercise performance, stamina, and recovery

When breathing patterns are dysfunctional, it can contribute to symptoms like fatigue, poor concentration, disturbed sleep, breathlessness during physical activity, frequent sighing or yawning, anxiety, heartburn, headaches, and much more.

CONDITIONS WHICH WOULD BENEFIT FROM
CLINICAL (FUNCTIONAL) BREATHWORK

  • Anxiety, Depression, and Stress
  • Snoring, Insomnia, Sleep apnoea
  • Hyperventilation syndrome
  • Asthma, COPD
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Chronic pain
  • Long-Covid
  • Fatigue
  • Poor stamina/exercise tolerance
  • … and so many more!

How Does Functional Breathwork Work?

Functional breathwork sessions are personalised and can take place online via video call, from the comfort of your own home, or in person at the clinic in Tredington, Warwickshire (CV36).

From your first session, we assess your breathing patterns, discuss your symptoms and lifestyle, and identify your goals. You will be taught practical exercises to help retrain your breathing, and many clients experience symptom improvements even after just one session.

While some clients see results quickly, it’s generally recommended to attend between 3-7 sessions to achieve lasting change. As with any new habit, consistency is key, and practicing breathwork daily helps to form new neural pathways, making the process automatic over time.

Buteyko Breathing Programme: Focused Support for Complex Breathing Conditions

The Buteyko Breathing method focuses on reducing over-breathing, which is often caused by shallow or rapid breathing. This technique retrains both the brain and body to breathe more slowly and deeply, ensuring optimal oxygen levels. Buteyko Breathing can be particularly effective in improving respiratory function and alleviating symptoms of asthma, anxiety, sleep apnoea, and other respiratory conditions.

The Buteyko programme involves a minimum of 5 sessions, with daily practice of around 1 hour, split into 3 short sessions. If you’re unsure whether this programme is right for you, we encourage you to book a discovery call to discuss your options.
