Breath as a Therapeutic Tool

Poor or inefficient breathing habits can lead to illness and limit healing outcomes from therapeutic treatment. In this 4-hour

workshop, we will study the anatomy of the respiration system, the importance and function of the diaphragm, relevant eastern and western terminology and practise shiatsu techniques to improve both the patients’ breathing and the breath of the practitioner.

Specific conditions such as asthma, depression, anxiety/stress, inability to sleep, over-thinking, injury rehabilitation and pain management will be discussed.

• Increase your knowledge of the respiration system and how it can limit or improve healing outcomes

• Learn practical techniques to use in treatment

• Improve your breathing during professional practice
