Want to breathe better? I'm am now trained in Rossiter Respiratory Technique. It's appropriate and helpful for all ages! Be sure to check out the link below. 4 Years ago, I attended a breathing workshop by Leon Chaitow a well-known and well respected practitioner and author in the field of bodywork. Ever since then I've been convinced that breathing well, is extremely important both for current health and for the future health of our brains and bodies as well as for our emotional health (think meditation techniques using the breath for focus.) I've been practicing better breathing techniques ever since and learning as much as I can to help others improve their breathing. I've felt some improvement, but without some change in soft tissue involved in breathing, the change has been minimal. This past weekend, after receiving the Rossiter Respiratory Technique, I have noticed much more ease and freedom in taking a deeper breath! I would love to pass this on to everyone! Better breathing can help with your sports performance, with your singing, with everyday life! Richard Rossiter has been practicing this for years and gathering data on results. He has found that it is beneficial for those who have asthma, helping them to breathe better and to even reduce or stop needing the medications they take. Medication for asthma does help those who suffer, to breathe better, but they also have side effects. I know as my son has had asthma since he was 2 years old and one concerning side effect of the albuterol for him was a racing heart and uncomfortable hyperactivity. We are lucky, he no longer has serious asthma attacks. He seems to have mostly grown out of it. I do feel concern for him still every time he comes down with a cold though, because one never knows if the cold will cause him issues. And what about for those who haven't grown out of it? Wouldn't it be nice to not have to rely on the inhalers so much? If you are interested in learning more, please call or email me. I would be happy to discuss this with you. wjbf.com/2017/11/09/respiratory-treatment-can-help-asthma-copd-patients/

I've been doing a daily breathing practice. Not always at the same time everyday, but focused breathing when I remember… breathing in through the nose, in to the belly and then into the ribs with focus on my mid thoracic spine, expanding, with a slow breathing out of my mouth, pursed lips, relaxed jaw, steady stream all the way, all the way, all the way out... and then again. It's not been too difficult to do, especially when I'm relaxed, doing nothing or sitting in the car driving, lying in bed before sleep, on the floor before doing movement. But today, I feel I had a leap of progress! I remembered to do it while also doing a mad dash dish cleaning! It was much more difficult, but much more important to take breathing to a new level, while doing something else! I noticed my posture as I did the dishes, I noticed my feet! firmly on the floor! I had less tension overall. It felt great! If you notice you don't breathe well, hold your breath when doing other activities, or just can't get a deep breath in, or if you have neck pain, rib pain (or actually pain anywhere!) and would like to learn how your breathing can impact your well-being, give me a call! 508 397-4184  |
AuthorI've done a lot of different jobs in my life. I've finally settled on one. sort of. The thing about being a massage therapist and working with the human body is that there is so much to learn and so many ways to help people! so it changes all the time, it's like having a new job every day! this works for me. I like change and new. Archives
