Description
This authoritative, research-based book, written by a team of clinical experts, offers an introduction to the symptoms and causes of disordered
breathing as well as the strategies and protocols that can be used to correct and restore normal breathing. Multidisciplinary Approaches
to Breathing Pattern Disorders guides readers through a discussion of the current research that links disordered breathing patterns with
perceived pain levels, fatigue, stress and anxiety. Basic mechanics, physiology, and biochemistry of normal breathing are outlined to
lay a foundation for understanding causes and mechanics of disordered breathing. Self-help strategies with charts and workbook pages
that may be photocopied as handouts are designed to help patients overcome specific breathing problems.
