Conditions
Interventions
Cognitive Muscular Therapy
Psychologically informed physiotherapy which integrates training to reduce overactivity of postural muscles which can interfere with the mechanics of breathing.
Breathing visualisation
Breathing visualisation; Data from two 3D camera are combined and used to calculate respiratory volumes. These volumes are then used to drive an animation of breathing so that the patient can understand how their breathing pattern compares to an optimal pattern. Note this is not a medical device as data from this system is only used for education and not for diagnostic or treatment decisions.
