Capnography Assessment to Identify Breathing Dysfunction

Through our breathing, our bodies find balance. When respiratory chemistry and breathing mechanics are misaligned, learned breathing behaviors may trigger, exacerbate, or perpetuate a variety of symptoms and deficits, including chronic pain, muscle tension, and headaches.

Recognizing that breathing is a behavior and one can learn a dysfunctional behavior, it becomes imperative to identify underlying breathing dysfunction as a root cause of symptoms.  At KNOSIS we specialize in identifying and treating dysfunctional breathing patterns. In a one-on-one session with a certified therapist, we measure your breath using a device called a capnotrainer. Wearing a nasal cannula and breathing through your nose a real time image of the chemical signature of your breath is displayed for analysis and biofeedback.

Once the pattern has been identified our certified therapists will help you to learning to release dysfunctional patterns, facilitate natural breathing reflexes, and utilize conscious breathing techniques to promote health, relaxation, and resilience.
