There is a very strong link betwen sleep disordered breathing and ADHD. Many children are diagnosed with ADHD when often their behaviour is related to a breathing dysfunction. Through breathing education and cranial osteopathy we aim to normalize dysfunctional breathing patterns, balance dysfunctional patterns in the body. This promotes relaxation, and overall well-being, helping to manage symptoms such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention.
Osteopathy and functional breathing for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
An estimated 25 to 50% of people with ADHD experience sleep problems, ranging from insomnia to secondary sleep conditions. Doctors are starting to realize the importance of treating sleep problems and the impact this can have on both ADHD symptoms and quality of life for ADHD patients.
