Breathing Physiotherapy

We’re thrilled to announce that physiotherapist Niamh Knightly is now offering physiotherapy for Breathing Disorders as part of our musculoskeletal physiotherapy services.

Breathing is something most of us take for granted—until it becomes difficult. Whether it’s shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, dizziness, or a constant feeling of not getting enough air, disordered breathing can significantly impact your quality of life.

This new service is ideal for those who experience:

  • Anxiety or panic attacks
  • Hyperventilation or breathlessness
  • Asthma or chronic cough
  • Long COVID or post-viral fatigue
  • Poor breathing habits related to stress or chronic pain
  • Unexplained breathlessness during exercise or at rest

Niamh brings not only her clinical expertise, but a deep personal understanding to this work. Having experienced ongoing breathlessness herself—especially during times of stress and post-illness—she understands how frightening and frustrating it can be. It’s this personal journey that led her to train in breathing retraining methods, and why she’s so passionate about helping others feel safe and strong in their own breath again.

As part of your breathing physiotherapy assessment, Niamh will:

  • Assess your breathing pattern and mechanics
  • Explore any physical or emotional triggers
  • Teach you practical breathing strategies tailored to your needs
  • Help you build awareness, control, and confidence in your breath
  • Support you with tools for nervous system regulation and long-term wellbeing

This is not just for people with diagnosed respiratory conditions—many people unknowingly develop inefficient breathing patterns due to stress, pain, injury, or lifestyle. You’d be surprised how much better you can feel when your breath is working with you, not against you.

Ready to breathe better, feel calmer, and reconnect with your body?

Book your breathing physiotherapy assessment HERE with Niamh today and take the first step towards a calmer, more energised you.
