Breath Therapy May Relieve Back Pain
January 13, 2006
Students Learn To Connect With Their Breath
Taking a breath therapy class may help to alleviate lower back pain.
"Doctors said to me I'd have to have surgery, my whole lumbar spine was disintegrated," said
Margot Biestman, whose back pain was once so bad she couldn't get out of bed for
eight weeks.
Almost 20 years ago, Biestman decided to take a breath therapy class at the Middendorf
Institute of Breath Experience in Berkeley, "I just experienced relief from
then on," she said.
After taking the class, Biestman said she no longer needs surgery and is as flexible
as she was in her 30s.
This mind-body therapy helps harness the body's own potential to heal said instructor
Juerg Roffler.
"The basic principle is allowing the breath to come and go on its own," he
said.
