" Breathe Well, Do More, Feel Better "
"Having suffered a broken rib, punctured lung and pneumothorax as well as undergoing surgical complications I was discharged home after 3 weeks in hospital in a fairly frail condition in terms of breathing capacity and morale. Joanna rectified both and I can only reservedly recommend her professionalism and skilled intervention."

"Jo put me at total ease in my first session through explaining why she thought I was struggling with my breathing. She assessed my breathing pattern and explained strategies that I could use to improve my breathing. After each session she gave me a goal to complete. The techniques she has used during my sessions I am sure would help anyone who has breathing problems. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jo because after months of being unable to breathe properly and sleep properly, within 2/3 weeks this had improved immensely."

" Jo has been a tremendous help to me with my breathing pattern disorder. She is an extremely knowledgeable practitioner who is also very kind and showed me much empathy about my problem.
I started to feel better after the first consultation and she gave me the confidence to master the breathing techniques very quickly.
The whole experience has been a very pleasant and invaluable one and I would have no hesitation in recommending her to my friends and family if they had any difficulties in this area.
Thank you Jo. "

Barbara
===================
​
" I had struggled with being out of breath after the smallest exertion, such as walking 10 yards, for many years; particularly after a stressful period, such as a surgical operation. No one had found the cause even after very many investigations, such as x-rays and searches for a thrombosis and hormonal investigations. Once I was referred to RESP the cause was identified immediately. The solution was straight forward and I was taught to breathe using my diaphragm. This has, literally, changed my life. I can now walk long distances and exert myself without trouble.
I will remain ever grateful to RESP. Thank you so much."

"My Consultant diagnosed me with having a breathing pattern disorder. I have never heard of this and after taking regular treatment sessions with Jo I have come to understand so much more. Jo has been a part of my recovery and I can't thank her enough for the advice and treatment she has provided. I wouldn't have thought to seek alternative treatment with being asthmatic, but I can honestly say it's been worth the while."

"Prior to meeting Jo I never realised that I had a disfunctional breathing issue. But since being referred to her my breathing ability has changed immensely. Jo's input during her respiratory physiotherapy sessions has enabled me to regain control of my breathing pattern and muscle control. I now have the confidence to self manage my symptoms, thanks to Jo's proffessional help and advice. She always put me at ease with her kind, caring nature. Thank You Jo."
