Workshops & Events

Join Dr Rosalba Courtney for three days this November in the Netherlands! Take a deep dive into the biomechanics of breathing, both the theory and therapy!

‘An Integrative Breathing Therapy Approach to the Comprehensive Assessment and Treatment of Breathing Dysfunction – Part 1: Breathing Patterns and the Biomechanical Dimension’

Learn and explore –

• Functional and dysfunctional breathing

• key concepts in respiratory physiology

• The MARM

• The Hi-Lo

• The BPAT

• The Breathing Basics protocol

This engaging, hands-on workshop will provide you with the foundational knowledge and practical skills in Integrative Breathing Therapy (IBT) to assess and treat breathing pattern disorders and the neuromuscular aspects of breathing dysfunction.

By the end of the course, you will be able to apply IBT techniques in your clinical practice, improving patient outcomes and supporting better respiratory health.

Join us for a comprehensive exploration of –

The parameters and characteristics of functional and dysfunctional breathing

The role of dysfunctional breathing and breathing pattern disorders in common conditions seen in a manual therapy practice

The strengths and limitations of the BPAT (The Brompton Breathing Pattern Assessment Tool) and the HiLo assessment (hands-on breathing assessment)

The original and simplified MARM (Manual Assessment of Respiratory Motion) with notation of its variables and measures

The use and interpretation of the Nijmegen Questionnaire (NQ)

The use and interpretation of the Self Evaluation of Breathing Questionnaire (SEBQ)

The principles of motor learning and neuroplasticity training for breathing retraining, including applying the Breathing Basics protocols to patients

This course is designed for healthcare professionals—whether you’re a physiotherapist, respiratory therapist, occupational therapist, or clinician—who are passionate about understanding and addressing dysfunctional breathing in your patients. If you’re eager to enhance your assessment and treatment skills related to the biomechanical aspects of dysfunctional breathing, this course is for you.

By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid understanding of Integrative Breathing Therapy, backed by both scientific theory and practical techniques that you can immediately implement in your clinical practice.

You’ll walk away with the knowledge and confidence to assess, treat, and retrain breathing patterns, ultimately enhancing the health and well-being of your patients.
