Description

Harness the Power of Breathing & Accelerate Therapeutic Gains

Breathing is the most basic and essential physiologic process… yet your standard examinations – focused on range of motion, posture, and balance – have completely overlooked this major player in overall health. With profound physiological effects on health and body mechanics, today’s evidence supports an integrative medicine approach that incorporates breathwork.

Watch Michelle Lindsey, DPT, PT, MBA, to learn all the tools you need to evaluate respiration and combine breathing with functional movement to improve outcomes in low back & neck pain, balance and coordination problems, poor endurance, pelvic floor issues, respiratory issues/long COVID and much more! Discover strategies you can use right away to:

  • Alleviate pain, reduce stress and tension
  • Improve posture, cognition, and performance
  • Increase body awareness & core activation

You’ll gain a clear understanding of the complex functional relationship between the muscles, joints, and fascial lines that enhances clinical decision making. The yogic breathing exercises taught in this course are applicable to a wide variety of patients, and adaptations for various stages of healing from injury and surgical procedures are covered in detail. Discover a systems model approach to treatment that produces lasting results, and learn hands-on, how to teach your clients anywhere, anytime exercises and body awareness skills that will keep them happy, healthy, and out of the clinic.
