Transform Your Practice with Better Breathing: A New CPD Course by Laura van Tatenhove

by | Jul 23, 2024 | Continuing Professional Development, Laura van Tatenhove | 0 comments

As a therapist, you understand the profound impact that physical and emotional well-being has on your clients. Yet, one crucial element often overlooked in holistic health practices is functional breathing. Laura van Tatenhove’s new CPD course, “Better Breathing for Better Health,” addresses this gap, offering you the knowledge and tools to enhance your therapeutic touch and improve client outcomes.

Why Focus on Breathing?

Functional breathing is vital for everyday health and well-being. When clients suffer from chronic tightness in the neck and shoulders, shallow breathing, or sinus issues, the root cause often lies in their breathing patterns. Addressing these can alleviate a host of symptoms, including:

  • Chronic tightness and restriction in the neck and shoulders
  • Shallow breathing into the upper chest region
  • Redness around the sinus area and blocked sinuses
  • Excessive sighing and susceptibility to colds and flu
  • Dry mouth, especially at night and in the morning
  • Snoring and receded chin
  • Bad posture and bad breath
  • Crowded teeth

Course Benefits for Practitioners

This two-hour online workshop is designed specifically for therapists seeking to deepen their understanding of functional breathing and its impact on overall health. Here’s what you will gain from this course:

1. Comprehensive Understanding of Breathing Anatomy and Physiology
Laura provides a clear and easy-to-understand overview of the anatomy and physiology of breathing, ensuring you can explain these concepts effectively to your clients.

2. Up-to-Date Information and Facts

3. Practical Assessment Tools
Learn assessment tools that help you and your clients gauge progress, providing measurable results that can enhance your credibility and client trust.

4. Easy-to-Learn Exercises
Incorporate simple exercises into your practice that, if performed daily, can significantly improve your client’s quality of life. These exercises are designed to be easy to learn and teach.

Access a collection of resources for further reading and study, allowing you to continue expanding your knowledge and skills.
