The Breathing Clinic - Services | Help With COPD

Services

Treatment offered at The Breathing Clinic

Our goal is to give you the knowledge and tools you need to achieve the best from your body – beginning with breathing optimisation. Whether you are seeking help with Long Covid, help with breathlessness, or help with COPD, we are here to support you.

The treatments we offer include:

Asthma (Adults and Children):

Using innovative techniques, newly accepted by the NHS, Asthma symptoms can be significantly reduced and even eliminated. These techniques can be used with children too from the age of 4 years. Please get in touch if you would like more specific information.

Buteyko Breathing Technique (Adults and Children):

Buteyko Breathing Techniques are widely used to reduce and even eliminate symptoms of Asthma, both in adults and children. The technique involves learning how to breathe slowly and efficiently, which can dilate nasal passages and upper airways, while increasing usable oxygen for better performance and energy levels. Other diagnoses known to improve include irritating cough, snoring, panic attacks, and sleep apnoea. Buteyko breathing for children can improve sleep, exercise performance, tooth alignment, focus, and concentration.

Unexplained Breathlessness:

If you experience breathlessness when carrying out even small tasks or notice gasping for breath at times, even if you are fit, then give me a call. I can help you. We can discuss your specific symptoms and make a plan, providing help with breathlessness using proven techniques.

Dysfunctional Breathing Patterns and Hyperventilation Syndrome:

I offer assessments to identify the likelihood of these conditions and provide a tailored, personalised treatment plan. Working closely with a specialist physiotherapist, you will receive effective strategies to regain control of your breathing.

Exercise and Breathlessness:

Using advanced personal training skills, we offer strategies to optimise performance, whether you are an elite athlete or just beginning a ‘couch to 5k’ programme. Help with breathlessness during exercise is a key part of this service, especially if you are based in West Sussex or surrounding areas.

Airway Clearance:

We provide techniques to help clear mucus from your lungs using your breath and practical exercises. This can be especially useful for people with chronic conditions, such as COPD, offering help with COPD to keep your lungs as healthy as possible.

COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease):

At any stage from diagnosis, we can work alongside you to help you keep your body strong and your lungs healthy. Whether you’re in the early stages or further along, we provide help with COPD to support your respiratory health.

Long Covid /Post Covid Syndrome:

Many body systems are affected by Long Covid, each with different symptoms and severities. We offer comprehensive assessments and help with Long Covid, treating the most bothersome symptoms as a priority. Our goal is to support your recovery journey with a personalised plan, wherever you are in West Sussex or beyond.

Chronic cough:

Whether dry and tickly or moist and productive, we have techniques to alleviate these symptoms effectively. Our tailored treatments can help you overcome chronic cough, ensuring it doesn’t interfere with your day-to-day life.

Initial Appointment - What to expect:

I am happy to travel across East and West Sussex, Surrey, Kent, and parts of Hampshire. Travel costs may be added if your home is distant from my West Sussex base, but we ensure our services remain accessible throughout the region.
