Breathing well is an art. Oddly enough, the automatic breathing that we do every day without even realizing it, causes us mental and physical disorders. It is one thing to breathe to survive, and quite another to breathe to improve our body.

One bad breath is responsible for a high level of stress in children, and most of the vocal cord affections they suffer from. So, learning to breathe well is indispensable in our days to have good health, both mentally and physically.

We tell you why respiratory physiotherapy improves the health of children.

What is respiratory physiotherapy to improve the health of children?

Of course, we must not miss our unconscious breathing, it is clear that if we did not breathe we would be badly hurt, not to say dead, but during our evolution we have lost the art of breathing well.

When we are born and during the baby stage, we perform a deep breathing diaphragmatic, that is, a breathing with the gut, so when babies are asleep you can see how their little tripitas rise and fall. However, with the passage of time and stress, breathing takes a backseat in our lives and we begin to perform thoracic breathing es, that is, with the chest.The consequences of thoracic breathing is a

shallow breathing , irregular and accelerated. It is a less productive breath, since it does not reach the end of the lungs and brings less oxygen to our cells.On the contrary, deep or diaphragmatic breathing increases the level of oxygen in the blood, relaxes us instantly, makes children release the tensions of the day, increases their energy level, controls their heartbeat, and improves the

capacity of the diaphragm, what causes that at the time of speaking we do not force the vocal chords , and let out the air with the stomach, something like the singers do.With these

exercises of respiratory physiotherapy you can teach the child to relax, especially when they are nervous or have a tantrum, as well as improve their ability to speak without forcing their voice.Respiratory physiotherapy exercises. Diaphragmatic breathing

We will activate a

conscious breathing for about 10 minutes. To do this,

we will lay the child on a mat on the floor, or in bed. The child should have a relaxed neck and shoulders, and should make a slow, soft and silent breath. The air must travel to the end of the lungs, swelling the belly and opening the ribs.

We must not force the expiration of the air, but must leave freely, and with that the

abdominals desc descend. 1. We will take air through the nose and put it through the mouth whilewe say a long S, without exhausting the air.

2. We will inhale the air through the nose and expire it through the mouth again, but this time in two more or less equal times. 3. We will repeat

the same previous exercise but in three times, and then in 4 times.

4. We will inspire for 3 seconds and we will expire for 6 seconds. We will increase the time up to 5 seconds of aspiration and 10 seconds of expiration.

5. We will inhale deeply through the nose and expire through the mouth quickly and intermittently, as if we were repeatedly shut up. At first it will be a bit difficult to do the breathing properly, but with 10 minutes twice a week, the children will learn to relax alone

with this technique whenever they need it, we will improve their aphonia episodes and avoid the appearance of

nodules in the throat. Undoubtedly, respiratory physiotherapy improves children's health considerablemente considerably, try it yourself and check it out.
