Webinar Description:
Breathing is something every one of your clients does 20,000 times a day, yet how often is it actually assessed or addressed in your sessions?

What you'll take away:

• How to assess breathing dysfunction in a clinical or coaching setting
• Practical treatment strategies, including how to integrate breathwork with soft tissue therapy & mobilisation techniques
