Frequently Asked Questions

With our 10-14 day treatment, patients can restore their chest mobility and proper breathing function.

Once natural chest mobility is restored, it is easier to breathe deeply and patients learn to replace defective breathing through the mouth with normal, correct breathing in and out through the nose.​

Through proper breathing function, symptoms of asthma are eradicated.

The treatment time varies depending on the severity of chest immobilisation and the general condition of the patient, with most treatments taking between 10 to 14 days.

It is suitable for both children and adults.

The Dr Alexander James Method has been highly beneficial in treating asthma, chronic coughing, sinusitis, rhinitis, snoring, sleep apnea, anxiety, headaches and circulation issues. This method differs from all other asthma treatments because it addresses the underlying cause of the asthma condition.

No, our treatment is beneficial for a range of conditions, not limited to asthma.

Our treatment method helps not only asthma but a range of health issues including:

• Anxiety

• Allergies

• Bad breath

• Chronic cough

• Circulation

• Congestion

• Depression

• Fatigue

• Frequent colds and flus

• Headaches

• Inability to taste and smell

• Posture

• Reactions to changes in weather conditions

• Rhinitis

• Sinusitis

• Sleep Apnea, snoring and other sleep disorders

• Weight loss/gain

Many of these issues are improved or alleviated through the establishment of correct, proper breathing through the nose, and by restoring adequate levels of oxygen demanded by the body for good health and quality of life. Other issues simply disappear over time as the body heals and becomes stronger, no longer under duress from the consequences of improper breathing and inadequate supply of oxygen to our body systems.

This treatment involves no drugs* and is very safe. Exercises prescribed are based on an individual basis and modified according to the presenting health condition of each patient. Vibrotherapy is a very pleasant, relaxing and non-invasive component of the treatment.

* This treatment addresses the cause of asthma so drug therapy is unnecessary. However, patients are always advised to carry ventolin with them if they have ever been diagnosed with asthma, in case of any emergency. If they don’t need to use it they don’t.

Daily preventive medication containing steroids should be reduced gradually, with many successful treatments resulting patients ceasing steroid medication altogether.

Treatment usually costs around $550, but this depends on the severity of the condition and how many sessions are required. Most cases involve 10-14 sessions. A two-month follow-up session is recommended.
