Why respiratory therapy?

Breathing constitutes quality of life.

Breathing is a key process, an essential element of life itself. Continuously, mainly unconsciously, numerous muscle groups take care of this. Even at rest the body performs more than 20,000 breathing cycles a day, this number explodes manifold when physical activity increases.

Respiration is a highly complex process with many subsystems cooperating to achieve the main goal: carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange. Because of the complexity the system is susceptible to malfunction, and at risk from many diseases. Especially the muscle groups involved are easily affected, which can deprive the system of its prime driver.
