Introduction
Breathing is one of our most crucial functions and is essential to our health. However, while it is necessary for survival, our breathing pattern is often disrupted. This disruption has a negative impact on a number of systems, including our biomechanics, biochemistry and even psychophysiology. Thus, the way we breathe is relevant to all areas of physiotherapy. This course introduces the basics of how we breathe, as well as exploring the history, definition and epidemiology of breathing pattern disorders.
