Bontems Method Breathing Course 2
Coming soon
Breathing 360°: optimising breathing from every angle
Breathing affects posture, pain, stress, sleep and performance. Nobody treats it as a whole. Until now.
When breathing goes wrong, it is never just one system at fault. This course brings together what osteopathy, neuroscience, nutrition, Chinese medicine and elite sport know about breathing, to make it a lever for health and performance, step by step.
In two parts: an online part, then two days of hands-on practice in person.
Who it is for: osteopaths and physiotherapists, ideally after the ENT & Breathing Assessment. Strength and conditioning coaches and sports professionals are welcome on the non-technical modules.
