Patients with asthma taught how to change their unconscious breathing patterns generally like non-pharmacological interventions. Researchers in the UK, led by Mike Thomas from the University of Southampton, interviewed 16 people about their experiences in a trial that tested breathing retraining exercises...
Stewart says “swimming may be the best exercise for asthma,” because in addition to the full-body, low-impact cardiovascular workout that it provides, swimming often occurs inside a warm, humidpool area. “Breathing warm, moist air is less likely to trigger asthma,” Stewart says, but not...

CONCLUSION: Breathing training resulted in improvements in asthma-specific health status and other patient-centred measures but not in asthma pathophysiology. Such exercises may help patients whose quality of life is impaired by asthma, but they are unlikely to reduce the need for anti-inflammatory ...

but the overlap between anxiety and asthma nevertheless creates a problem for patients and their doctors since we seem not to be very good at telling the difference.Several studies have shown that patients with asthma have significantly higher anxiety scores than normal and are more likely to have...
Background: Functional breathing disorders may complicate asthma and impair quality of life. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of physiotherapy based breathing retraining for patients treated for asthma in the community who have symptoms suggestive of dysfunctional breathing. Methods: 33 adult...
Tracking HRV alongside breathing techniques is known as Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (HRV-B). Previous studies of HRV-B for other chronic conditions such as asthma, depression, fibromyalgia, and post-traumatic stress have shown that the optimal breathing frequency to improve symptoms is on aver...
