What is Oxygen Advantage

At Billericay sports Therapy we use the Oxygen Advantage breathing method to enhance respiratory function, allowing for improved athletic and sporting performance. The Oxygen Advantage is an advanced respiratory conditioning program that is ultimately designed to simulate high altitude training for sports people and athletes. Some elite athletes have the privilege of being able to train in the mountains, at high altitude, but fortunately we can achieve the same effect with specific breath exercises.

Benefits of Oxygen Advantage

The Oxygen Advantage breathing program is scientifically proven to:

Improve Aerobic capacity – VO2 Max
Delay the onset of fatigue and Lactic acid
Improve respiratory muscle strength
Improve sprint ability
Increase in Erythropoietin (EPO) production which will produce an increased number of red blood cells (legally)
Improve running economy

Billericay Sports Therapy

At Billericay Sports Therapy we are a certified Oxygen Advantage practice, trained in person by Patrick McKeown, author of The Oxygen Advantage, and use the Oxygen Advantage methods on many sports people including top young amateur and professional athletes. We use this method on elite, international athletes to high effect. Here at Billericay Sports Therapy our knowledge of the science of breathing and the respiratory system dictates a guaranteed 100% success rate on improving training recovery rates and performance levels.

By doing specific breath holding exercises we can induce an increase in red blood cell production from the Spleen and from the Bone Marrow. Red blood cells carry oxygen. This ability to carry more oxygen and get increased oxygen delivery to the cells of the muscles produces significant improvements in fitness and performance levels.

Oxygen Advantage Customer Testimonials

I booked up with Gary for a 5 week course for Buteyko and Oxygen advantage breathing hoping it would help with my Asthma and my sports training. At the end of week five I have learned all the techniques needed to carry on progressing with the breathing systems.
I can honestly say that I have seen a massive improvement in all of my Asthma symptoms to the point where I don't think it will be long until I completely come off all of my Asthma medication.
My sports endurance is also through the roof! I would highly recommend to all.

A MUST if you suffer from Asthma!!

Thanks Gary!

Highly recommend Gary’s work. It took some time but after learning how to breath properly I have increased my performance and have lost 3 stone. Go and check it out!

Ed Rome

I've been working with Gary Ling since the beginning of the year now, focusing on my breathing. During training, as I have asthma, it was normally my lungs and chest that gave up first. However, since doing a few single breathing exercises (breath holds etc) not only have I had no asthmatic symptoms, but I have also seen an increase in my fitness levels and an improvement in my recovery rate Definitely recommend
