Breathing Rehab
We help you restore healthy breathing patterns to support posture, reduce strain, and enhance movement from the inside out.
What Is it?
Breathing rehab focuses on improving the way your respiratory system supports movement, posture, and nervous system regulation. Irregular breathing mechanics can contribute to fatigue, pain, and poor core control. We help you reconnect with your breath to support better stability, reduce strain, and improve function throughout your body.
Our Approach
We assess your posture, core function, and breath patterns to understand how breathing affects your movement, energy, and comfort. Your therapist will guide you through targeted breathwork, core activation, and nervous system regulation techniques. Breathing rehab is often integrated into broader care for back pain, pelvic health, and chronic stress.
Conditions We Treat
We retrain breathing mechanics to reduce pain and improve posture, core engagement, and nervous system regulation.
Conditions Commonly Treated:
• Diaphragmatic dysfunction
• Post-COVID respiratory fatigue
• Neck and shoulder tension
• Pelvic floor coordination deficits
• Poor endurance linked to breath pattern
• Rib and thoracic dysfunction *Back pain
What Can I Expect
We begin by observing your breath patterns, posture, and core engagement — often during everyday movement. Your therapist will guide you through exercises that support efficient breathing, improve rib cage mobility, and reduce tension. Expect quiet, focused work that leads to big gains in energy, posture, and strength.
What Are the Benefits
• Improved posture and core coordination
• Better energy and stamina
• Decreased stress and tension
• Enhanced movement efficiency
• Support for chronic pain and fatigue recovery
Additional FAQs
Why would I need physical therapy for breathing?
Breathing affects posture, stability, and nervous system health. Dysfunctional breathing can contribute to pain, fatigue, and poor performance. Our physical therapists are trained to assess breathing dynamics and treat the biomechanical and neuromuscular conditions that affect breath.
How do I know if my breathing is the problem?
We assess your breath pattern during movement and rest. Signs include chest breathing, breath-holding, neck pain, or tension with daily tasks. Because we breath constantly, even small inconsistencies in breathing technique can contribute to hard to diagnose conditions. We are experts at assessing and treating these conditions.
