Course Headline:

Respiration and the Impact on Health, Posture, Pain, Movement, and Performance for the Medical Professional

Welcome to Just Breathe 101! This comprehensive seminar series delves into the profound effects of respiration on the human body and provides medical professionals with essential tools for managing Breathing Pattern Disorders (BPDs). Led by the esteemed instructor Debra Dent, a wealth of knowledge and experience in this field, this course is a must-attend for any healthcare provider looking to enhance their understanding and treatment of respiratory dysfunction.

Course Overview:

Understanding the intricate relationship between breathing patterns and overall body function is crucial for clinicians. Just Breathe 101 will guide you through the anatomy and physiology of respiration, with a particular focus on its impact on core stability, posture, pain management, and performance optimization.

The Thorax: A Pivotal Hub for Health and Movement 🏋️‍♀️

• The thorax is the central player in both trunk rotation and respiration, serving as a prime base for muscle and fascial connections affecting the cervical and lumbo/pelvic regions.
• The diaphragm's role in maintaining intra-abdominal pressure is fundamental to spinal stability and has significant implications for posture and trunk control.
• Altered breathing patterns, often a result of lifestyle factors such as stress, pain, or injury, can disrupt the body's physiology and lead to negative health outcomes.

The Science of Breathing: Beyond the Basics 🧬

• This seminar will explore how faulty breathing patterns can contribute to spinal dysfunctions and propagate pain patterns, impacting conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic pelvic and chest pain, gut issues, and chronic fatigue.
• The consequences of sleep apnea and its implications for accidents, mood disorders, cardiovascular disease, and overall well-being will be discussed.
• We will delve into the importance of understanding respiratory system biomechanics and how it integrates with core stability for optimal whole-body mechanics.
