Born from a journey

From a world congress to Southeast Brazil

For more than three decades, the Reequilíbrio Toracoabdominal (Thoracoabdominal Rebalancing) Method has been building evidence and accumulating thousands of clinical outcomes. In 2025, it brought professionals together at the 1st World Congress on Global Respiratory Physiotherapy — and now it arrives in the Southeast, in Rio de Janeiro.

The only global, holistic and integrative approach to respiratory physiotherapy in the world.
