Thankfully, many health professionals as well as lay people now understand that mouth breathing is a major health issue and can be an etiological factor in asthma, allergy, sleep disorders and craniofacial dysmorphias. However, modern preventive airway health care does not stop at cessation of mouth breathing. Breathing dysfunction can still be present even with complete lip competency and exclusive nasal breathing. This course will outline what functional breathing is and will provide insights into how it can be addressed using respiratory neuroplasticity and breathing training.
Learning Outcomes
The participant will be able to:
Identify functional Vs dysfunctional breathing
Understand some of the signs and symptoms caused by dysfunctional breathing
Gain insight into how functional breathing can be encouraged in our communities
Timed Agenda
20 min -- Normal vs dysfunctional breathing
30 min -- Signs and symptoms of dysfunctional breathing
30 min -- Causes of dysfunctional breathing
