Breathing

Do you get nervous or stressed out? Learning to take control of your breathing can help.

Calm Breathing Group class

How does learning to breath better help?

While most of your survival functions are automatic in nature (like heart rate, blood pressure), breathing is both voluntary and automatic within the body.

The Stress Response

If you experience a stress response, like work stress or running away from a lion, you typically enter a sympathetic state or a fight or flight response. The bodies’ responds and reacts and changes some of your automatic functions by raising them. Things like breath rate, blood pressure and heart rate may rise. After the stress response is removed typically these functions go back to a more parasympathetic state (Relaxed). If you’re under this type of stress for a long time, this can cause issues with those body systems. Your body goes back and forth from sympathetic and parasympathetic states. It is this balance that can help keep you calm and perform better under stressful situations.

As breathing is classified as voluntary you can use some simple techniques to go back to a more parasympathetic, relaxed state.

Watch a FREE Calm Breathing class here. This was part of a corporate zoom class. These types of classes can be done before during or after meetings for you or your staff. Feel free to inquire below.

Corporate Calm breathing class

This type of breath work can be part of a kinstretch class or can be done on its own. This type training is a great way to learn to control your mind and nervous system when under stress, both mental and physical. If you mind or body is always on go-go-go, its always good to fit a training session that focuses on the opposite.

Practice Notice

After 7.5 years of living and practicing abroad, I will be leaving Hong Kong and heading back home to Toronto this June.

Look out for more Toronto news coming soon. If you want to visit me in Toronto, you can drop me your contact details and I will let you know where and when you can book a visit.

Hong Kong been a great experience for me. I came here newly married with @tracybluestein . Little to no social or business network definitely was a growing phase.

In terms of personal growth I learned to work together with my partner and try and listen more. We also now have 2 amazing kids. I also was able to find a BJJ family with @rodrigocaporal and @g0rillabjj and team there. Made life long friendships learned a little too haha. I dabbled in other sports with my first love of basketball and also ultimate. Hiking and camping is amazing, I suggest you try it here. Also studied cantonese.

Professionally I eventually linked up with @jointdynamics. The physiotherapists, coaches and variety of clinicians, were a great source of growth and really helped me thrive as a clinician. Shout out to the fifth floor. To my patients/clients in Hong Kong and abroad thanks for your support.

I then became an on-site specialist for a bank, JP Morgan. Random in terms of of how Chiropractors go as its not a sports team. The HR and the Wellness Program there is top notch. There’s a reason why you haven’t seen many clinical posts as we have strict social media guidelines 😂 .

I was also able to visit different cities Asia and Australia with #functionalrangesystems and met some great clinicians and coaches.

Watch this space I learn to navigate Toronto with my family and continue forging elite joints.

For those of you in Hong Kong, I am currently referring my existing client base and any new patients to:
