What do we mean by a 'contrary' breathing pattern?
A breathing pattern that works against you is a way of breathing that puts unnecessary pressure on your body, for example, breathing too quickly or too shallowly. This can lead to developing or perpetuating symptoms. Think of a jittery feeling, shortness of breath, or hyperventilation. With targeted exercises, you can learn to breathe calmly and efficiently again, giving your body more rest.
Signs to watch out for
Do you recognize one or more of these symptoms? Then your breathing may be a factor:
