Can physiotherapy help shortness of breath or anxiety-related breathing symptoms?

Yes. Physiotherapy can help address dysfunctional breathing patterns that may contribute to symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest tightness, dizziness, anxiety, fatigue, and difficulty exercising. Treatment may include breathing retraining, relaxation strategies, mobility work, nervous system regulation, and education to improve breathing efficiency and symptom management.
