One in ten New Zealanders experience some form of breathing disorder or chronic over-breathing. The BradCliff method is a specialised physiotherapy service that is tailored for the individual patient. This can benefit both adults and children, and those with existing respiratory disorders, anxiety, chronic pain and especially sports people wishing to improve their respiratory performance.
An initial consultation of one hour is required to allow a thorough assessment of presenting complaints and to begin teaching strategies to control these. Follow up consultations are half an hour in duration.
