Breathing Therapy

What does proper breathing look like?

Lips together and breathing through our nose is the way to go!  When you nasal breathe, nitric oxide is a molecule that is given off which helps deliver warmed, humidified, and filtered air to our airways and lungs.  Our sinuses have the highest concentration of nitric oxide in the body.  When we breathe through our nose, the nitric oxide helps inhibit bacteria and viruses in our lungs and strengthen our immune system.

Infants

Breathing therapy for infants focuses on addressing respiratory issues that can impact overall health and development. It helps infants who have trouble breathing due to anatomical or functional issues.
Consider breathing therapy if your infant exhibits:

  • Frequent respiratory infections
  • Nasal congestion
  • Snoring or noisy breathing
  • Difficulty breathing during feeding

Children

Breathing therapy for children addresses issues such as mouth breathing, sleep apnea, and asthma-like symptoms. It helps improve respiratory function, sleep quality, and overall health.
Consider breathing therapy if your child exhibits:

  • Mouth breathing or snoring
  • Sleep-disordered breathing or sleep apnea
  • Frequent respiratory infections
  • Trouble sleeping or restless sleep

Adults

Adults with chronic respiratory issues, sleep apnea, or poor breathing habits can benefit from breathing therapy. It helps improve airway function, sleep quality, and overall well-being.
Consider breathing therapy if you:

  • Experience mouth breathing or snoring
  • Suffer from sleep apnea or restless sleep
  • Have chronic respiratory issues

How can we help?

Once any upper airway concerns have been ruled out and managed by an Ear Nose & Throat (ENT) doctor and/or Allergist, Breathing Therapy can begin to address the habit of mouth breathing and ensure proper nasal breathing.   The ultimate goal is to nasal breathe 24 hours per day, 7 days per week….yes, even when you are sleeping!
