What Can We Do?            

• Perform a specialized assessment including medical history and physical examination.
• Retrain resting breathing patterns to manage anxiety, enhance recovery, and promote sleep.
• Prescribe exercises to reduce carbon dioxide sensitivity or increase the strength of the diaphragm if needed.
