Breathing therapy

Calm in your body starts with your breathing. With breathing therapy at Fysico Rotterdam you learn to relax again. You gain control over your breathing and cope better with tension and stress, so together we work towards more calm and a lasting result.

What is breathing therapy?

Breathing therapy focuses on improving and restoring your breathing. Many people unconsciously breathe too fast, too high in the chest or with too much tension. This can cause complaints in daily life.

These complaints can arise, for example, from:

  • Stress or tension
  • A poor breathing habit
  • Illness or physical strain
  • Prolonged overstimulation

With targeted guidance and practical breathing exercises, you learn to breathe calmly, efficiently and naturally again.

When can breathing therapy help you?

Therapy can offer support for complaints in which breathing and tension play a role. You can come to us for, among other things:

  • Hyperventilation or shortness of breath
  • Stress, tension or anxiety
  • Fatigue or restlessness
  • Sleep problems
  • Breathing problems, for example with asthma or COPD (a chronic lung condition)
  • Difficulty relaxing

Would you like to experience more calm and control in your daily life? The sessions can help with that too.

How we work at Fysico Rotterdam

At Fysico Rotterdam, breathing coaches and physiotherapists work together. This means we look not only at your breathing, but at your whole body. During an extensive intake we carefully map out your complaints and then draw up a personal treatment plan that suits your situation and goals.

You then get started with breathing and relaxation exercises under guidance. Among other things, you learn:

  • How your breathing works
  • How to recognise tension in your body
  • How to regulate your breathing
  • Which techniques give you more calm and control

The exercises are calm and accessible, and you can apply them straight away in daily life.


Our guidance is:

  • Personal and goal-oriented
  • Focused on the cause of your complaints
  • Tailored to your body and load capacity
