Can breathing retraining really be done online?
Yes.
Much of breathing rehabilitation and breathing retraining is based on observation, education, skill development, and repeated practice — all of which can be performed effectively through telepractice.
During a virtual session, we may work on:
- Breathing mechanics and breathing pattern
- Nasal versus mouth breathing
- Respiratory rate and breath volume
- Relaxed breathing at rest
- Recovery breathing
- Laryngeal control and airway-opening strategies
- Breathing during movement and exercise
- Exercise-specific breathing strategies
- Recognition of breathing triggers and early warning signs
- Strategies for managing symptoms during activity
- Breathing efficiency and coordination
When appropriate, exercises can be incorporated into walking, running, cycling, strength training, or other sport-specific activities.
