Improvements in multi-dimensional measures of dysfunctional breathing in asthma patients after a combined manual therapy and breathing retraining protocol: a case series report
Dysfunctional breathing (DB), which is present in 30 –65% of asthmatics, can contribute to increased levels of dyspnea and non-respiratory symptoms which respond poorly to usual pharmacological treatment and impact on asthma control and quality of life.

Reflecting on new models for osteopathy – it's time for change
Recent evidence has undermined much of the biomechanical based reasoning of osteopathy. This has led to considerable discussion of the future of the distinctiveness of osteopathy and proposals for new models of osteopathic approaches. Current research on pain processes, aetiology and clinical effectiveness supports a biopsychosocial perspective in clinical reasoning for musculoskeletal pain. New clinical reasoning models proposed by osteopaths Fryer and Lederman are considered alongside models from other professions. (Source: International Journal of Osteopathic Medicine)
