Breathe Better

Nasal breathing for training, calm and sleep, from a physio and Oxygen Advantage coach.

What’s in Breathe Better

Your starting point

A simple breath-hold test (BOLT) to track your own progress week to week.

Daily practice

Breathing while you move

How to bring nasal breathing into walking, running and training.

Wind-down routine

A short evening practice to help you switch off before bed.


What a week looks like

Every morning · 5 min

BOLT score, recorded in the app

Breath-hold walking, 6 rounds

How it works

1

Choose your program and pay

Secure Stripe checkout. You go straight to a short intake form when you finish.

2

Tell me about you

Training history, injuries, goals and the equipment you have. Under 5 minutes.

3

I review it and build your program

I read every intake myself and adjust the program to you. If anything in your answers needs a hands-on assessment first, I’ll tell you and refund you in full.

4

It lands in your PhysiApp within 48 hours

Every exercise has a video and clear sets and reps, and you can log your sessions as you go.

5

Week 3 check-in and progression

Tell me how it’s going and I progress the program for weeks 4–6. You can message me with technique questions for the first 2 weeks.

Merryn Aldridge, physiotherapist

Hi, I’m Merryn

I’m a physiotherapist and Oxygen Advantage breathing coach at my clinic in Lavender Bay, and an ex-athlete myself. These programs are built the same way I program for clients in the clinic. Every one is reviewed and adjusted by me, never auto-generated. More about me.

When a program isn’t the right first step

A remote program isn’t a substitute for an assessment if you have a new injury, pain that is getting worse, swelling, numbness or pins and needles, or pain that wakes you at night. If you snore loudly, stop breathing or gasp at night, or are very sleepy during the day, see your GP first to rule out sleep apnoea. If you have asthma, keep taking your prescribed medication. In those cases please book a consult first. If your intake shows you need one, I’ll let you know and refund you in full.
