Book description
Retrain your breathing to manage your asthma medication and stress. A
fully revised, updated (and renamed) edition of the successful 2002
Breathing Works for Asthma, this book is the asthma sufferer's
indispensable companion. Roughly one person in seven experiences asthma
at some time in their life. This fresh and original book looks at
aspects of living with asthma in a unique and comprehensive way. In
recent years, asthma patients may have been well informed about their
drug management but less emphasis has been placed on physical coping
skills and the importance of the correct use of the muscles of
breathing. In Dynamic Breathing for Asthma two internationally
recognised experts on breathing pattern disorders take you through a
step by step breathing retraining process, which can help you to reduce
medications, reduce stress levels, exercise comfortably and most
importantly - breathe effectively. Dinah Bradley is a respiratory
physiotherapist with over 25 years' experience, She is the author of the
bestselling Hyperventilation Syndrome: Breathing Pattern Disorders and,
with Tania Clifton Smith, Breathe, Stretch, Relax: How to Beat Workplace
Stress. Tania Clifton Smith is a physiotherapist with a post graduate
diploma in manipulative therapy and is the author, with Dr Jim Bartley,
of Breathing Matters.
