Highlights

  • Cardio-Respiratory Coherence Mechanisms

    Understand the physiology of Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia and how synchronized breathing and heart rate support autonomic balance, anti-inflammatory signaling, and recovery.

  • Real-Time RSA Training & Biofeedback

    Learn how to use BioTekna’s integrated BIA-ACC and PPG Stress Flow systems to measure, train, and verify true RSA in real time—moving beyond inferred coherence to objective physiological synchronization.

  • Clinical & At-Home Integration

    Discover how to identify the most effective breathing patterns for each patient, assign personalized home practice using ANS CONTROL, and reassess progress over time within the Functional Longevity framework.
