Respiratory Therapy.

Breathing is one of the most fundamental functions of the human body. Yet many people may experience breathing problems that negatively affect their daily lives. Respiratory therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that focuses on improving breathing and alleviating symptoms associated with improper breathing. Our colleague Peter Emons specializes in breathing therapy, offering a holistic approach that focuses on both physical and mental relaxation.

Incorrect breathing: when is it time for relaxation exercises?

Incorrect breathing can lead to a variety of symptoms, both physical and mental. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, dizziness, palpitations, tingling in the fingers, fatigue, and chest tightness. In addition, improper breathing, such as hyperventilation, can cause anxiety and panic attacks as the body becomes unbalanced due to too much oxygen intake and a lack of carbon dioxide. When these symptoms persist and affect your daily functioning, breathing therapy may be necessary. This therapy helps to improve your breathing patterns, reduce stress and bring the body back into balance.

What is respiratory therapy?

Respiratory therapy focuses on improving breathing patterns and restoring natural, calm breathing. It is a therapy that helps reduce breathing problems and restore the body to a healthy state. Through specific breathing techniques and exercises, you learn to breathe consciously and better cope with physical and emotional tension that often affects breathing.

At Physio Vital, we look at the complete picture. This means we not only look at your breathing patterns, but also the underlying causes of any breathing problems, such as a physical condition, stress, anxiety, tension in the body, or inefficient use of your breathing muscles. By taking this integrative perspective, we offer a customized treatment plan that fits your specific symptoms and situation.

Why is respiratory therapy necessary?

There are several reasons why people may develop breathing problems. Stress and tension often play a major role, but physical conditions such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia or poor fitness can also affect breathing. People who suffer from chronic stress often experience accelerated and shallow breathing, which can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath and fatigue.

Hyperventilation is also a common problem. It occurs when too much oxygen is inhaled and not enough carbon dioxide remains in the blood. This upsets the balance in the body and can cause various symptoms, such as tingling, palpitations and tightness in the chest. Respiratory therapy is necessary to address these problems in a healthy way and regain control of breathing.

Specializing in physical therapy breathing

Respiratory therapy falls within the broad spectrum of physical therapy. Our colleague Peter Emons has more than 40 years of experience as a physical therapist. He specializes in respiratory therapy which includes extensive knowledge of the respiratory muscles, lung volume, and chest anatomy. Respiratory therapy helps not only with acute symptoms, but also with improving overall respiratory function, which can support physical performance, and aids in recovery after illness or operation.

 

Respiratory therapy involves working to strengthen the respiratory muscles and improve breathing capacity. This can be done through targeted exercises, such as training diaphragmatic breathing, teaching breathing rhythms and techniques aimed at relaxation. The goal is to regain an efficient breathing pattern that is restful and effective.

 

"Over the years, I have seen more and more clearly that people often do not breathe properly and therefore develop complaints. I therefore started retraining in breathing therapy and now have a lot of experience in treating in complaints related to breathing." Peter Emons

The essence of relaxation exercises in respiratory therapy

Relaxation plays an important role in respiratory therapy. Many breathing problems are directly related to stress and tension. By integrating relaxation exercises into therapy, we not only help you breathe better physically, but also find mental peace. Relaxation exercises such as progressive muscle relaxation, meditation and mindfulness techniques help reduce tension in the body, which in turn has a positive impact on breathing.

A relaxed body breathes more easily and efficiently. Learning to breathe at a deeper and calmer level during therapy can contribute to an overall sense of well-being and reduction of stress symptoms. At Physio Vital, we combine breathing exercises with relaxation techniques to promote optimal balance between body and mind.

I always work from the question of the person who comes to me. What is the problem, what does someone want to achieve? Can I find out the cause of the health problem? What can we do about it together? Is it helpful to involve collaborative partners?

For me, the challenge is to find those resources that promote recovery. These are often exercises that the person seeking help can apply themselves, preferably in everyday life.
