MPhty B.ExSci
- PHYSIOTHERAPIST
- EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST
- BREATHING FOR PERFORMANCE
James' passion for the respiratory system developed in 2009, when his mother was diagnosed with COPD. She struggled to find treatment options other than the traditional medicated approach to improve her quality of life and capacity to complete simple tasks after 20+ years of smoking. James looked at the research (Gosselink, 2011) to find an interesting approach to treatment for Ex-smokers, Inspiratory Muscle training (IMT).
James trained over 500 therapists worldwide on how to deliver this evidence based approach to patients with respiratory disease, he has also treated over 1800 patients with respiratory illness.
For the past 6 years he has been working with a different base of clients, using the skills he developed working with pathology, applying his Exercise Physiology knowledge he has developed a suite of training techniques designed to push the respiratory system and performance to the next level. Beyond the research by pioneers such as (Hanghanbari, 2013), (Romer, 2002) and (Voliantis, 2001).
Working with the Australian Institute of Sport, Cirque Du Soleil and Olympic Gold medallists you can see on the home page, James can apply these techniques to many different environments to push the respiratory system for example;
Working with the Australian Institute of Sport, Cirque Du Soleil and Olympic Gold medallists you can see on the home page, James can apply these techniques to many different environments to push the respiratory system for example;
- James Roberts (Australian Swim Team) wants to reduce the time to take a breath in his race and take less breaths during his race;
- Stuart McKenzie (Cirque Du Soleil) wants to reduce his shortness of breath during his act, so he can focus on his performance;
- Jim Lutz (Professional Trombone player) wanted to increase his inspiratory volumes to lengthen his verse.
