This book is intended to help practitioners understand the causes and
effects of disordered breathing and to provide strategies and protocols
to help restore normal function. Fully updated throughout, this volume
has been completely revised to guide the practitioner in the recognition
of breathing pattern disorders and presents the latest research findings
relating to the condition including a range of completely new
techniques - many from an international perspective - to help restore
and maintain normal functionality. Video clips on an associated website
presents practical examples of the breathing techniques discussed in the
book.
"This is not a perfect all-encompassing textbook.That was not its
purpose. As a catalyst for stimulating further exploration and for use
as a reference in clinical work of wide-ranging paradigms it succeeds
admirably." Reviewed by: David Propert, British School of
