Get Started
We recommend you start with a free phone consultation to see if Respiras is the right fit for you. We will answer your questions, and schedule your initial assessment if it's a good it. Call (800) 667-1798 to start the process.
Your evaluation is the first step in understanding how your breathing and nervous system are functioning. During the session, we assess your:
Breathing mechanics (rate, pattern, volume, posture).
CO2 levels and CO2 tolerance using real-time biometrics (capnography).
Cardiac autonomic nervous system response.
Physiological stress load using real-time biometrics (Respiratory Sinus Arrythmia).
Neurological, oculomotor, orthostatic, sensory-motor assessments are considered when appropriate and depending upon the unique or specific needs of the participant.
You will received immediate feedback and insights on how your breathing may be contributing to fatigue, anxiety, poor focus, pain syndromes, dizziness, pain, or emotional reactivity. We then, design a personalized breathing program based on your goals. Our process is data-based and science-backed. You will be able to perform precise measures and control your progress. Your session is non-invasive, relaxed, and highly informative. Many clients say it's their first time their symptoms made sense. You will be sitting in a comfortable chair that reclines by your own control and comfort. Our computer system will give you real-time feedback of your breathing patterns and how your breathing changes with mild and gentle stimuli.
Before your evaluation, please send pertinent information like lab test results, sleep studies, pulmonary function tests, and other relevant tests that can help us understand your situation better. Come in wearing comfortable clothes.
We strongly recommend you avoid caffeine consumption and salt intake one to hours before your evaluation. Please consider not wearing tight waistbands or restrictive tops. Rest assured your evaluation is predictable, gentle, and supportive. You will be in a safe and comfortable professional setting.
