"I’m grateful to have been awarded a scholarship for the BradCliff Level 1 Course. This will allow me to further develop my understanding of breathing mechanics and breathing retraining to better support the clients I work with. My caseload includes dancers, singers, and actors, many of whom already have a strong awareness of their breathing, as well as professional voice users and people with voice disorders. I’m excited to apply what I learn across these populations and to discover even more ways this training can enhance the care I provide." - Elissa (Physiotherapist) - Sydney, Australia
"I am deeply honoured and grateful to have been awarded a BradCliff Scholarship for the Level 1 course. This opportunity means a great deal to me, as it will allow me to further develop my knowledge and skills in breathing assessment and retraining, and to bring this learning back to my clinical practice, research, and education in Japan.
As a clinician, visiting researcher at a university, and an employee at an IT company, I am a physiotherapist working mainly in the Greater Tokyo area. I support people with musculoskeletal disorders, athletes, and employees through workplace health and wellbeing programs. In my experience, many people do not present primarily with respiratory disease, yet breathing dysfunction is often overlooked and may be related to pain, movement limitations, stress, and overall wellbeing.
Through this course, I hope to gain a more evidence-based and practical approach to breathing care, so that I can better support my patients, athletes, and employees, and also share this knowledge with other physiotherapists in Japan." - Koji Nakamaru
