We provide a comprehensive diagnostic and treatment system to identify and target any factors contributing to your condition:

1. All clients undergo a comprehensive diagnostic assessment that identifies key factors and habitual behaviours contributing to their condition.

2. Once identified the key factors can be addressed by the appropriate health care provider(s) as per your personal requirements. In addition to genetic and environmental factors we find that the following problems are often present and require specific attention to be able to significantly reduce or even eliminate symptoms of respiratory conditions :

• Chronic Hyper-ventilation Syndrome (often characterised by mouth, upper chest and fast breathing, day time breath holding and other respiratory disruptions)
• Oral/facial abnormalities eg. narrow upper arch and deficient mid face
• Excessive weight
• Dietary factors
• Anxiety and stress
• Drug and alcohol dependency
• Levels of daily physical activity
• Excessive use of screen technologies (eg. mobile phones)

• Excellence in professional service
• Integrated care
• Individualised care
• Comprehensive integrated diagnostic assessment
• Comprehensive lifestyle integrated treatment plan
• Ongoing care and support to maintain your change.

• Dietetics: assessment and management. Weight loss and healthy diet has been proven to reduce some respiratory symptoms.
