Product Detail

1. Analyze clinical implications for various patient populations
2. Describe the function of the diaphragm as it relates to posture, muscular relations, and stability of the spine
3. Evaluate musculoskeletal issues in respiratory dysfunction
4. Compare sympathetic vs. parasympathetic responses in neuromuscular control
5. Articulate pathologies related to less than optimal respiratory function
6. Demonstrate effective techniques to alter respiratory patterns and trunk core stability
7. Educate patients about breathing pattern disorders and empower them to be more involved in recovery and maintenance of their issues
