Disordered breathing patterns may be a symptom or a cause of
frequently undiagnosed health problems. A significant proportion of
the population worldwide suffers from breathing pattern disorders,
particularly in the more developed countries. Accordingly, a wide
range of practitioners encounter these problems, often without
having received any prior training in their causation or
management. 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 multidisciplinary perspective - to help
restore and maintain normal functionality. The volume also provides
an overview of the underlying anatomy, physiology and basic
biochemistry associated with breathing. Chapters then examine the
psychological and emotional variables associated with disordered
breathing together with assessment protocols taken from a variety
of perspectives - including Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization
methods, osteopathic, physiotherapeutic, and psychological methods.
Comprehensively covering a range of interventions suitable for use
in a variety of settings - including the use of techniques in
patients with longstanding pain disorders - the book concludes with
chapters on speech and singing, breathing disorders in the athlete,
and looks at the importance of breathing techniques in relation to
Feldenkrais (R), Pilates, Tai chi Qigong and yoga. "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
Osteopathy, UK, International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine Date:
