Oxygen Advantage Functional Breathing Coaching

Did you know that we take on average between 20 and 25 thousand breaths every single day? Breathing well matters! ‘Dysfunctional’ breathing is much more prevalent than most people realise. For example, 75% of people who suffer with anxiety are dysfunctional breathers. Traits of dysfunctional breathing include breathlessness and fast upper chest breathing.

Do you find yourself breathing mostly through your nose or through your mouth during the day and at night? If the answer is that you find yourself breathing mostly through your mouth then you may not be aware, but this is classed as ‘dysfunctional’ breathing. You are not alone!

In contrast, breathing ‘functionally’ is the key to calming the nervous system and healthy living. Benefits include increased levels of energy, better focus, enhanced ability to deal with stress, better sleep, reduced or cured snoring and, as a result, improved overall quality of life. Learning to breathe functionally can also assist with specific health conditions such as asthma, obstructive sleep apnea, panic disorder and long-covid.

Functional breathing can also greatly enhance exercise performance at all levels.

The good news is that Oxygen Advantage breathing exercises offer simple, achievable solutions to reverse dysfunctional breathing, regulate the nervous system and optimise the most important processes in your body - leading to better health, sleep and exercise efficiency.
