Breath Training
Our breath training techniques help regulate your nervous system, improve endurance, and promote whole-body calm and control.
What Is it?
Breath training uses intentional breathing techniques to influence posture, nervous system balance, and overall well-being. Whether you're an athlete optimizing performance or someone managing stress or chronic pain, we help you harness your breath as a tool for recovery and resilience.
Our Approach
Breath training is used to improve oxygen efficiency, reduce tension, and support calm — especially when paired with postural work and nervous system techniques. We help you understand how your breath influences your movement and recovery. This approach is ideal for active individuals, people under stress, those recovering from injury, and anyone who wants to reconnect with their body.

Sessions may include guided breathwork, pacing drills, or posture correction to restore optimal breathing. You’ll be instructed in how to utilize your breath to improve how you feel. You will gain tools you can use daily to feel calmer and more in control.

Additional FAQs
What’s the goal of breath training?
We teach you to use breath intentionally to support or adjust posture, calm your nervous system, and enhance function in movement and daily living.
Is this the same as meditation or yoga breathing?
It’s different. Breath training in physical therapy is goal-specific, movement-based, and focused on function — not just relaxation. We break down the complex biomechanics of breathing and help you understand how something as routine as inhaling and exhaling can contribute to lasting change in your symptoms.
