Breathing Class For Asthma In Singapoe

With about 5% in adults, & 20% in kids are affected by breathing dysfunction known as asthma. Asthma is a complicated & multidimensional problem causing numerous consequences to patients. Some patients also desire symptom relief by using other medications as a symptomatic asthma treatment. Recent research shows that breathing exercises are recommended to treat/prevent asthma. Asthma patients should get adequate breath training programs to be included in all comprehensive acute asthma care, as it's drug free(all natural), simple, & safe.  

Asthma Symptoms & Breathing Exercises

When asthma triggers(asthma attack) happens, breathing pattern changes follows immediately. Those who's lived with asthma like myself already know that quality of life plummets downward very quickly. This can be helped to improve asthma symptoms by learning breathing techniques that lessen the respiratory symptoms. Asthma  promotes an acute breathing pattern in which mouth breathing would potentially create dysfunctional breathing. People with asthma symptoms frequently show hyperventilation syndrome which means a faster breathing rate, & this is due to the airway obstruction(airway inflammation). Severe asthma symptoms have a lower lung function, & use of the upper chest(one of the breathing pattern disorders). Asthma management through physiotherapy breathing retraining or a qualified breathing specialist can help improve quality of life, with simple deep diaphragmatic breathing exercises. ​

Quality of life

Studies involved breathing retraining for asthma symptoms shown improvements in breathing tests(eg one, lung function test, forced expiratory volume). Breathing exercises that promotes or facilitates abdominal breathing help bring your body 
​

Buteyko breathing technique

Buteyko breathing method coupled with asthma education can help with symptom control in the early stages, & to promote more frequent use of nasal breathing. Buteyko breathing technique relies on respiratory muscles with different breathing exercises, & can be done in both private & in breathing exercises group class. 

Do breathing trainers help asthma?

Effective breathing exercises or integrated breathing retraining starts off without any breathing devices, with learning how to manipulate breathing exercises performed specifically to reach a goal. After successfully understanding how respiratory muscle training, & how specific breathing exercises help you achieve better control of your breathing patterns, you then add on a breathing training device to allow a progressive adaptation from the muscles, & control of your breathing, which would equate to a better quality of life. 

A study compared breathing exercises for asthma using buteyko breathing/ buteyko method versus using a respiratory breathing trainer & found that breathing exercises for asthma symptoms should always start with strong fundamentals of techniques before using a device. 

Integrating breathing exercises into daily routine

One deep diaphragmatic breathing a day will not do any change, especially for people with asthma where quality of life is lowered, & frequency is key to making your body change how it breathes, exchange, & transport nutrient rich blood to the rest of the body. 

To our conclusion, breathing exercises can potentially help you breathe better with simple & safe breathing exercise performed correctly when practising by yourself. Breathing exercises reportedly helped improve asthma symptoms, & also the overall well being for people with frequent with asthma attack. There is two general guidelines for breathing exercises for asthma education control groups which is mainly two breathing exercises: 

1. Any relaxation training(eg yogic breathing)
2. Favoured breathing exercises to stress the body

People with asthma usually want to do these two types of breathing control techniques, as the two compared breathing exercises are to compliment the other. One to stress the body & cause the appropriate stress reactions, & the other to learn to relax deeper, lower inflammation, & many other health benefits that even the  healthy person can benefit from! ​
