Breathing and Relaxation Therapy

During breathing and relaxation therapy you learn more about your breathing and the relation to your complaints. We investigate whether it is possible to relax and whether possible complaints, physical or mental, respond to a more functional way of breathing.
We use different exercises such as breathing, movement or attention exercises.
Sometimes (hyper-)focus on the breath can amplify the complaints. Shifting the focus more towards relaxation, especially in beginning, can make the breathing pattern more natural such that focus on the breath is less disturbing.

The goal is that breathing happens naturally and automatic and that you feel good!

Breathing and relaxation therapy is an effective method for (among other complaints)

  • Hyperventilation (excessive breathing)

  • Breathing complaints or ‘habits’ like for example holding your breath

  • Psychological complaints like anxiety or trauma

  • Sleeping problems

  • Fatigue and burn out

  • Long Covid complaints

Biofeedback

At Sens beweegt je it is possible to map and practice your breathing very precisely using biofeedback equipment. We can then measure breathing, timing, heart rate, etc. during various activities. It is also possible to do a stress test before and after a period of breathing therapy to experience the effect in a more objective way.
