BradCliff Method Physiotherapy Practitioner Certification

Our programme is open to New Zealand registered physiotherapists who have a particular interest in the role of breathing and respiration, and its links to balanced health and enhanced recovery.

This is an opportunity to be part of a major growth area in health care, and add value and depth to your business in a fast changing health environment.

Our two-day weekend BradCliff Manual launch is designed to provide theoretical and practical applications of key physiotherapy skills to help understand the nature of chronic breathing pattern disorders and their often-unobserved presence across all areas of clinical practice. This includes:

• A review of the respiratory/psycho/physiological alterations in the acute and chronic over-breather and the biomechanical/anatomical changes that sustain these poorly diagnosed disorders.
  
  
• Assessment and treatment guidelines, questionnaires, and goal setting.
  
  
• Identification of triggers/stressors at all ages and stages.

• Nasal health.
  
  
• Body mechanics and breathing dysfunction.
  
  
• Physical coping skills for stress fatigue, anxiety and pain management.
  
  
• Life style skills and sleep architecture.
  
  
• Performance/voice problems.
  
  
• Asthma, COPD, breathless patient breathing retraining guidelines.
  
  
• Athletes and peak respiratory performance.    
  
  
• Women’s health.
  
  
• Assessment and treatment directions for children and teens.
