Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
A breathing pattern disorder is defined as hyperventilation or over-breathing that does not occur as a result of an underlying pathology. [1] has shown that the presence of respiratory disease such as a breathing pattern disorders is a strong predictor for lower back pain. Stronger than other established risk factors
What is defined as a normal breathing pattern:
• Abdominal, not chest breathing should initiate inhalation, which then expand outwards during inhalation.
• Lifting the chest up while breathing is faulty
• Lack of or a upwards lateral lifting pattern is faulty
• Paradoxical breathing is faulty
• Breathing that has no clavicular grooving formed by chronic chest lifting
