What are some patient goals for ineffective breathing pattern?

Learn correct breathing. This is the one and only time where I would recommend a Yoga class. I have found they teach an effective technique to end reverse breathing. Reverse breathing oxygenates the blood to about 25%. (Reverse breathers push the diaphragm out while breathing out.) Yoga breathing approaches 100% oxygenation. With their blood saturated with oxygen Prima Donnas can sing a note and hold it while anyone else would be gasping for air. Prima Donnas use other techniques from Yoga as well. Their chests look fat. That is not all fat. There is a lot of muscle there. They use that muscle to open and close their rib cages. That gets even more air into their lungs. That is another Yoga trick. Of course, they know how to use amplification points in their mouths, but I do not know if that would help a patient. However if you are a singer, it might help you.
