Functional Breathing retraining for athletes
As exercise intensity increases, breathing can become the limiting factor — not fitness. If you're experiencing throat tightness, noisy breathing, or breathlessness that doesn't respond to inhalers, there may be an underlying airway condition driving your symptoms. Functional Airway Lab specializes in identifying and treating exercise-induced laryngeal obstruction/paradoxical vocal fold motion/vocal cord dysfunction and breathing pattern disorders through targeted assessment and structured breathing rehabilitation. Our speeech pathology services are available via telepractice throughout California, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, and Oregon.
Care is led by Karie Marsh, a doctor of speech-language pathology and certified functional breathing instructor, with advanced training in airway and breathing function.
Telepractice Services
Exercise-Induced Laryngeal Obstruction
A breathing disorder in which the larynx narrows inappropriately during exercise, often causing sudden difficulty getting air in, throat tightness, or noisy breathing. EILO can be mistaken for asthma and may occur alone or alongside other breathing conditions. Also called vocal cord dysfunction or paradoxical vocal fold motion.
Conditions we Work With
Breathing Pattern Disorder
An inefficient or disrupted breathing pattern that can contribute to breathlessness, exercise intolerance, excessive breathing effort, and difficulty regulating breathing during activity. Breathing pattern disorders may occur alongside EILO or other respiratory conditions.
Exercise-Related Breathing Symptoms
Breathing difficulty during exercise can have multiple causes, including EILO, asthma, exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB), breathing pattern disorder, or combinations of these conditions. We focus on identifying breathing patterns and upper-airway contributors and collaborate with medical providers when additional evaluation is needed.
