Is Dysfunctional Breathing Holding You Back? 🌬️

Your breathing patterns may be silently limiting your performance, recovery, and well-being. Dysfunctional breathing - like shallow chest breathing, over-breathing, or mouth breathing - is more common than you think.

How to Spot Dysfunctional Breathing:
⚠️ Mouth breathing instead of nasal breathing.
⚠️ Visible use of neck and shoulder muscles during inhalation.
⚠️ Frequent sighing, yawning, or breathlessness at rest.
⚠️ Low BOLT score (Body Oxygen Level Test) below 25 seconds.

Why It Matters:
Limited Oxygen Delivery: Poor breathing patterns reduce oxygen efficiency, leading to fatigue and poor recovery.
Increased Stress: Rapid, shallow breaths can trigger stress responses, keeping your body in fight-or-flight mode.
Muscle Fatigue: Overuse of smaller breathing muscles causes tension and reduces endurance.

How to Reset Your Breath:
1️⃣ Breathe Through Your Nose: Nasal breathing improves oxygen uptake, filters air, and balances CO₂ levels.
2️⃣ Engage Your Diaphragm: Focus on low, smooth ribcage expansion to breathe more efficiently.
3️⃣ Slow It Down: Practice light, controlled breathing to calm your body and mind.

Dysfunctional breathing affects everything - from your energy levels to your athletic performance. By addressing these patterns, you can unlock better movement, faster recovery, and a calmer mind.

Breathe better, live better. It all starts with functional breathing.

Signs Your Child May Be Struggling to Breathe

If your child is experiencing fast breathing, retractions, nostril flaring, or extra noises while sleeping, it could be a sign of airway issues that need attention. Sleep-disordered breathing can impact overall health, development, and behavior.

🎥 A simple video of your child sleeping can be a powerful tool to share with your healthcare provider. It helps us assess their breathing patterns and identify potential concerns.

If you’re noticing these signs, come see us at The Breathe Institute—we’re here to help! 💙

The tongue’s position plays a role in directing airflow for breathing. 👅

When the tongue is up and sealed to the palate, it helps create a seal that encourages airflow through the nose.

Lowering the tongue allows air to flow in and out of the mouth, which is how mouth breathing occurs. The tongue’s position can impact the passage of air and influence the breathing route.

Where is your tongue at rest?
