Appointments are at therapy rooms in the centre of Stroud. Parking is nearby and the train station is 5 minutes walk (train 1.40hr from Paddington/Birmingham). We also have satellite clinics in Hove near Brighton and Sheffield.
The Buteyko Assessment which includes the first session, is ideally done in person, so that an accurate assessment of your breathing can be made. However, if not possible this can be done online, but it is more difficult tailor a truly personalized optimal programme. Typically 2-4 session are needed and these are weekly, and breathing exercises will need to be done daily to achieve progress.
Buteyko Assessment/First Session is £80 Adults/£55 Children
Subsequent Appointments are £40 Adults/£30 Children
The Myofunctional Therapy Assessment does need to be done in person. The assessment looks at tongue function, swallowing patterns, posture, movement, measurements and photographs are taken. After the assessment you will get a costed therapy plan. Subsequent sessions can be done via Zoom with some follow ups possibly needed to be done in person. Appointments are usually weekly or fortnightly, the exercises are needed to be done daily and a commitment is needed for progress to be made.
Myofunctional Therapy/Buteyko Assessment is £100 Adults/ £65 Children
