It’s been a busy time since we landed back in Melbourne, getting the revised IAHP program in order. We have so much to share from our recent trip to America, but for now I’ll focus on our new IAHP program for the next 6 months: Respiratory Patterning Program (manual and automatic) Manual: 90 min’s per […]
Day 1 of Chiara’s medical evaluation & treatment.
