We would like to share something we encounter in our patients often and it's the importance or breathing. People underestimate the immense power of breathing and this becomes a crucial part of the way they live and handle life. With anxiety, stress, and sleep dysfunction skyrocketing around the globe, it's time we look at the unspoken reasons why. These debilitating challenges can be meaningfully impacted with ten to twenty minutes of breathing exercises per day. Max Strom,who has taught breath-work for 20 years, reveals his insights into the healing power of the breath. Max Strom teaches personal transformation, mindfulness, and yoga worldwide and is known for inspiring and impacting the lives of his students. His Inner Axis method addresses the internal aspects of our life and our potential for physical and emotional healing. He is the author of "A Life Worth Breathing," and, "There is No App for Happiness." Woollahra Dental Practice - visit our website ...

This is one of the best videos we have found that explain what happens with mouth breathers. We see it all the time in our practice. If your child is a mouth breather you do need to see a Dentist/Doctor/Ear Nose and Throat specialist as soon as possible to see if you can change it back to the correct nasal breathing. Read more about what we can do to help and give us a call 0293635690 or email us to discuss further our approach to your health. www.woollahradental.com 

At  Woollahra Dental Practice  we realise that the oral cavity is not treated separately from the rest of the body. Our field is linked in many ways to whole body health. Breathing is essential for all our body functions. We would like to share a diaphragmatic breathing technique: Breathe in slowly and deeply so that you feel your belly rise under your hand. You may also notice your lower rib cage move wide under your other hand – remember the focus is upon keeping the upper chest muscles relaxed and using the diaphragm to breathe. This technique can be cued by thinking to “breathe into the belly”. Breathe out by letting the rib cage fall back to resting. You should feel a gentle rise and fall of your belly under your hand. www.woollahradental.com Our Mission is to work in partnership with our patients, team members and other health practitioners to provide a holistic approach to dental care.

With the Sydney running festival coming up we would like to share an article by Lynn Burgess from active.com about breathing techniques to improve your performance. The way you breathe has a lot to do with your athletic performance as well as your quality of life. Breathing powerfully affects every system in your body (cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, lymph, immune, digestive, and of course, respiratory). Breathing properly can decrease stress and muscle tension; calm your nerves; sharpen your focus; minimize negative and distracting thoughts; reduce fatigue; and promote stamina. Unfortunately, proper breathing is often an overlooked component of athletic training. If you watch a baby breathe, you will see the infant's belly rise and fall with each breath. Most probably stopped breathing this way long ago. Our cultural upbringing, suck in that gut, and the development of bad habits, like slouching, have resulted in shallow breathing or chest breathing. Compared to diaphragmatic...

At Woollahra Dental Practice we realise that the oral cavity is not treated separately from the rest of the body. Our field is linked in many ways to whole body health. Our Mission is to work in partnership with our patients, team members and other health practitioners to provide a holistic approach to dental care. Ortho-postural dentistry starts with the developing infant and growing child.

We understand that all our patients are individuals, each of whom has his or her own personal needs and concerns. We encourage preventive techniques - helping you to understand how to maintain good oral hygiene and therefore preventing tooth decay and gum disease. When treatment is...
