We know that the average person reaches peak respiratory function and lung capacity in their mid 20's. Then they begin to loose respiratory capacity: between 10% and 27% for every decade of life!  So, unless you are doing something to maintain or improve your breathing capacity, it will decline, and with it, your general health, your life expectancy, and for that matter, your spirit as well.

Subclinical Factors
By the time traditionally diagnosed respiratory dysfunction presents, most have lost 50% of their breathing. What was occurring from 100% to 50%. HOW DOES THAT INFLUENCE MANY OTHER TENDENCIES TOWARD DISEASE.
It may not always be possible to identify the underlying causes of the problem, but often a number of contributory factors can be identified. We believe it is preferable to reduce the overall burden on the body using established means augmented with Optimal Breathing 

Optimal Breathing Basic Techniques are:

• SAFE – and as well completely insurable for liability by ImaGroup,com under our special breathing category
• Work quickly
• Easy to learn
• Have long lasting benefits
• Support patients’ efforts in gaining and maintaining control of their own health

• Learn to identify MARKERS OF SYMPTOMOLOGY AND IMPROVEMENT and ways of measuring respiratory function other then relying upon expensive medical testing equipment.
• Join us in our clinical studies of breathing development

Disease processes involve activation of the body’s homeostatic mechanisms. Health is homeostasis - a dynamic equilibrium. HOMEOSTASIS DEPENDS UPON HEALTHY BREATHING PATTERNS

Assessment Principles
Breathing has structural, biochemical, mental emotional relationships that invite multifarious causation. Poor breathing respiration and mechanics exacerbates ALL health challenges.

Our tests and statistics begin to clarify where to get the most benefit in the shortest possible time.

Analysis of lifestyle and environment as related to breathing makes any diagnosis more relevant.

Chronic or Acute?
OB works with the individual’s efforts towards the optimum expression of physiological, physical, and mental/emotional health

Optimal Breathing is BEST FOR CHRONIC conditions but acute can be greatly aided. Acute disease processes are different from chronic processes. The acute response is the body’s attempt to restore health often through enhanced processes of elimination. Poor breathing = suppression of such healing processes and contributes to the potential for chronic breakdown.

The following principles underpin the practice of Optimal Breathing:

• The Healing Power of Nature:
• There is a ‘vital force’ or ‘life force’ which drives the self-healing or self-correcting mechanisms of the body. Prana, chi, breathing!
• Respiratory system is a primary line of defense and dysfunction.
• Increase breathing volume, ease and balance and diaphragm size and strength
• Improve Musculoskeletal dynamics as relating to rib cage expansion, nervous system balance
• Strengthen the human voice for speaking and singing
• Part of our program attempts to increase lung capacity, regenerate lung tissue and use an increasing amount of latent presently unused aveoli.
• We as well endeavor to optimize proper oxygen, carbon dioxide balance, and pH balance by use of proper breathing.
