| Activity Diary - Post COVID-19 Symptom Management | 531KB PDF | We encourage everyone to keep an activity diary. If you want to try this before the first session, that is great.

| Breathing pattern disorders (University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust) | 15KB DOCX | Our breathing pattern is set at birth to breathe through the nose, using the diaphragm (a muscle that sits at the base of the chest and separates the belly from the chest). Ideally we should maintain this pattern at rest and during light activity, throughout the rest of our life. Unfortunately, this pattern can be lost for a number of physical and emotional reasons. These faults can become habits and the new pattern is then accepted as normal. Anyone can develop a breathing pattern disorder at any age. This is often called ‘dysfunctional breathing’. | 31 Jan 2025 |
