Abstract
RESEARCH QUESTION
What is the role of breathing techniques in the osteopathic management of musculoskeletal pain, discomfort and self-reported anxiety that can be observed in an authentic case study?
ABTRACT
This thesis used a descriptive case study methodology and utilised qualitative methods such as interviews, observations and field notes. The findings highlighted the limited role breathing techniques played and also the importance of other factors such as exercise, osteopathic manipulative therapy, utilising other therapeutic practitioners, good sleep, mindfulness, and patient and osteopath rapport in this context.
