Introduction
Dysfunctional breathing is defined as chronic or recurrent changes in breathing patterns that cause significant respiratory and non-respiratory complaints. Around 10 percent of people are diagnosed with hyperventilation syndrome. However, many more individuals have subtle, but clinically significant breathing pattern disorders (BPD). Symptoms of BPDs are varied and can mimic serious illnesses, including cardiovascular disease. They have also been linked to musculoskeletal complaints, including back pain and pelvic issues, as well as anxiety. Having an understanding of BPDs is, therefore, essential for physiotherapists to ensure that we can effectively manage this condition.
