About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast! Today, I'm excited to have Dr. Jane Smith with us, an expert in geriatric health and the lead instructor for our new course, "Graduate Certificate in Senior Breathing Exercises." Welcome, Jane! GUEST: Thanks for having me! I'm looking forward to discussing this important topic. HOST: Great! To start, can you share a bit about your personal experiences that led you to focus on breathing exercises for older adults? GUEST: Absolutely! I've worked with seniors for over two decades, and I've seen how breathing exercises can significantly improve their quality of life, reducing anxiety and enhancing lung function. HOST: That's fascinating! Now, let's talk about current industry trends. How has the importance of breathing exercises been recognized in senior care? GUEST: There's growing awareness that non-pharmacological interventions, like breathing exercises, can be very effective in managing age-related conditions. This shift is changing how we approach senior care. HOST: I see. And what are some challenges you've faced in teaching or implementing these techniques? GUEST: One challenge is ensuring that caregivers and health professionals have access to proper training and understand the importance of tailoring exercises for seniors' unique needs. HOST: That's a great point. Now, looking to the future, where do you see this area heading in the next 5-10 years? GUEST: I believe we'll see more integration of breathing exercises and mindfulness practices in senior care programs, as well as increased research on their benefits. HOST: Thank you, Jane, for sharing your insights and expertise with us today! It's clear that this course will make a real difference in the lives of older adults and those who care for them. GUEST: My pleasure! It's an exciting time to be working in this field, and I'm thrilled to be part of this important initiative.
