“As a child we are rarely taught how to breathe therefore we naturally we adapt our breath to suit the situation. We hold our breath in when feeling pressure & our body suffers by functioning sub-optimally. When the diaphragm isn’t used properly, oxygen is released into tissues ineffectively. Our airways may become narrower, gas exchange is not efficient, the heart has to work hard, our energy is reduce & we may start to feel under par. We become stressed & all because we’re unaware of one core habit - optimal breathing.”

Osteobreathe is a combined and integrated practice that binds the principals and concepts of osteopathic treatment and the conscious connected breath together in a treatment to enhance the health of each patient. 

For many years people have advocated the use of different breathing techniques as a therapy for mental and spiritual practice and for physical and emotional transformation. Breathing is used from childbirth to all events in sports and to quash fears, manage pain and difficult emotions.  The ever present meditation and mindfulness practices are built on the breath and Yogis have been breathing the life force of prana for eons. Recent research has shown how breathing is linked to and affects our thinking, feeling and brain health. One is about how breathing affects the health of the brain by affecting the fluctuations and flow of  the venous blood and cerebrospinal fluid.  The other is about breathing oscillations and how it affects neural oscillation and cognitive processes in the limbic system and cortex.
