Breathing Pattern Disorders
- Breathing Pattern Disorder (BPD) can develop when your breathing becomes inefficient or unbalanced, causing breathlessness, chest tightness and heaviness, a sensation of not being able to take a big enough breath — often when you’re at rest rather than exercising.
- It can be linked to body shape, illness, stress, or certain sports and activities, and can affect people of all ages. Specialist physiotherapy assessment helps identify and treat the underlying causes.
- Typical symptoms include breathing too deeply or too fast, breathing through your mouth, and overusing your shoulders — especially when these patterns don’t match your activity level.
- Breathing Retraining Techniques can help you quickly regain control of your breathing, reduce symptoms, and improve comfort. (This is not the same as breathwork.)
