As an accredited exercise physiologist, I specialise in uncovering the true source of your discomfort. Integrating the power of breathwork into physiology for back pain, I help you restore balance for lasting, pain-free movement
Pain is exhausting. It steals your energy, limits your movement, and makes even the simplest tasks feel like a challenge. But your body was made to move, and pain doesn’t – shouldn’t – have to be permanent.
Have you been seeing a physio for low back pain but not getting the results you need? At The Respire, we take a different approach – one that looks beyond quick fixes to target the root cause of your pain.
Whether you’re struggling with chronic discomfort or recovering from injury, I combine my deep understanding of the body with proven techniques to address the way your body moves and how your breathing influences everything from posture to muscle tension.
How we move and how we live can affect our bodies in many different ways. At The Respire, I take a holistic approach that looks beyond just the symptoms to uncover what’s really holding you back.
Your back pain isn’t random. It has a cause and can be treated, with the right approach.
Back pain is often a symptom of underlying issues such as muscle strains, poor posture, herniated discs, or even lifestyle factors like inactivity or stress.
With so many potential causes, it is important to take the time to understand the root of your pain. With a deep understanding of human physiology and biomechanics, I analyse how you move, breathe, and function to uncover the true source of your discomfort.
Back pain isn’t always caused by physical factors. Mental and lifestyle influences also have a role to play. Stress, anxiety, and poor mental health can increase muscle tension and exacerbate pain, while sedentary lifestyles, poor posture, and even lack of sleep can contribute to discomfort.
We take a look at these factors and develop strategies to address both the physical and mental aspects of your pain.
Breathing may come naturally, but did you know that there is a right way to do it?
Dysfunctional breathing could be contributing to your pain, tightening muscles straining your spine and disrupting your posture, keeping you locked in a cycle of discomfort.
That’s why we start by correcting breathing patterns at the foundation, helping you develop strategies to restore balance and reduce pain.
Pain relief is just the beginning. Every session at The Respire is personalised and targeted to your specific needs. This means that you not only feel better in the short-term, but stay better.
Depending on your goals and individual needs, programs will vary in duration – from as little as 2-3 weeks up to 12 weeks.

Don’t let back pain hold you back. It’s time to take control of your well-being. Book today and discover the insight and knowledge you need for strength, mobility and lasting relief from back pain.
At The Respire, we don’t just focus on relieving pain in the moment, I work with you to understand the bigger picture. We integrate movement assessments, performance evaluations, and breathing analysis to address every aspect of your back pain.
We begin by fully understanding how your body moves and feels. By assessing your range of motion, comfort levels, and posture, we can identify areas of limitation and develop a strategy to restore mobility while reducing discomfort.
Once we understand your movement, we focus on your performance or how efficiently your body moves and how much energy it requires. This helps evaluate your physical limits and identify areas where your breathing and energy management can be improved.
Breathing plays a key role in your movement and recovery from back pain. By assessing your breathing patterns, we can pinpoint how they might be affecting your pain levels, mobility, and overall recovery. Our in-depth analysis helps us understand the link between breathing, movement, and pain, ensuring you get the full benefits of your rehabilitation.
Start your journey to long-lasting relief today with our personalised approach for back pain.
Physiotherapy and exercise physiology both play a role in managing back pain, but they focus on different aspects of recovery.
Physiotherapy primarily targets immediate pain relief and restoring function through hands-on techniques. It’s often used for acute injuries or conditions requiring direct intervention.
Exercise physiology, on the other hand, takes a long-term approach by focusing on movement retraining, strength development, and functional improvement through tailored exercise programs. It helps address the root causes of pain and builds resilience to prevent future issues.
At The Respire, we integrate exercise physiology with breathwork, addressing not just your movement patterns but also how your breathing influences posture, muscle tension, and recovery, giving you a more holistic and lasting solution to back pain.
Physiology helps us understand the underlying causes of back pain by looking at how your body moves and functions. Factors like posture, muscle imbalances, injuries, and sedentary habits can all contribute to pain. By assessing your movement, quality of motion, and any restrictions, physiotherapists can uncover the biomechanics that are causing discomfort. This knowledge allows us to create targeted strategies to address and manage pain effectively.
Physiologists are experts in treating all types of back pain. They conduct thorough assessments to pinpoint the root causes of your pain and develop an individualised treatment plan. The goal is to restore balanced spinal movement and provide long-term strategies to prevent future pain.
Exercise physiologists use a combination of exercise and breathing techniques to reduce pain, enhance movement range, and improve strength. They integrate clinical exercise strategies with breathwork to optimise energy use and minimise mental and physical fatigue. By creating personalised exercise programs and correcting dysfunctional breathing patterns, they help relieve pain, support recovery, and reduce the risk of future injuries.
Breathing has a significant effect on your back pain and recovery. Improper breathing patterns can lead to poor posture, muscle tightness, and increased stress, all of which contribute to pain. By understanding and correcting your breathing, exercise physiologists help improve posture, reduce muscle tension, and enhance the body’s ability to recover from pain. Optimising your breathing can lead to better pain management, faster recovery, and increased overall well-being.
Respire is all about finding you a solution when other specialists can’t, relieving your pain and building resilience against future injuries with dedicated exercise physiology solutions.
