Dr. Steve Piper is a certified instructor at Buteyko Clinic International

As an evidence-based chiropractor, I have always been a forward-thinking human body mechanic. I have 12 years of education and use a hands-on approach to treatment and therapy. First and foremost, any good chiropractor should help you move better—and for your entire life. Including your breath.

I believe in a “move first” mentality as a way of life: we are born to move, and sometimes pain and dysfunction present challenges. This is where I can help. Let my movement-based approach and post-secondary education be your first line of defence.

I started seeing a lot of patients with paradoxical breathing patterns, high respiratory rates, and more—many of whom were not responding to traditional chiropractic care. That’s when I began continuing education courses focused on breathing.

To date, I have utilized Buteyko, Oxygen Advantage, and Wim Hof Method breathing techniques. These have become extremely helpful tools in my practice.

My patients range from weekend warriors and high-level athletes to seniors struggling with respiratory ailments.
