Osteopath service for Asthma Treatment

Christina Fraval Osteopathy proudly presents a specialised Asthma Treatment Service designed to prevent asthma symptoms and enhance respiratory well-being. With a unique focus on addressing musculoskeletal imbalances, respiratory function, and overall wellness,



Christina Fraval helping individuals to prevent asthma symptoms and breathe easier through holistic and individualised treatment approaches.

Several clinical trials since 1994 have shown the effectiveness of the Buteyko Breathing Method for reducing symptoms and the need for medication in the treatment of asthma.

Some of the conditions that osteopathy may be beneficial for Asthma Treatment include:

  • Asthma: For individuals with asthma by addressing musculoskeletal imbalances that may impact respiratory function. Osteopathic treatment aims to improve lung capacity, enhance breathing mechanics, and reduce respiratory distress associated with asthma symptoms.
  • Respiratory Conditions: We offer support for a range of respiratory conditions beyond asthma, including bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and allergies. By focusing on improving respiratory function and addressing musculoskeletal issues affecting breathing, osteopaths help individuals manage symptoms and enhance lung health.
  • Postural Issues: Osteopathy targets postural issues that can affect breathing patterns and exacerbate asthma symptoms. By addressing posture-related restrictions in the ribcage and thoracic spine, osteopaths aim to improve lung expansion and support optimal breathing for individuals with asthma.
  • Breathing Difficulties: Individuals experiencing breathing difficulties, such as shortness of breath or chest tightness, can benefit from osteopathic treatment to enhance respiratory function and alleviate related symptoms. We work to improve breathing mechanics, reduce tension in the chest muscles, and promote efficient breathing patterns for better management of asthma and breathing challenges.
  • Allergies: By targeting factors that contribute to allergic responses and respiratory distress, we support individuals in managing asthma exacerbations related to allergies more effectively.
