I didn't want to get into her issues too deeply, but she was born with some breathing issues. And even though I'd wondered out loud before about her postural issues and breathing being connected, I didn't dwell on it until we got recent validation. Her issues are now resolved, but breathing patterns she developed persist out of habit. She's currently going to therapy 3 times a week to change her breathing patterns, etc and we are seeing very good results.

Just to clarify, I'm not suggesting that therapy for apnea has had a positive affect on muscle tone and pain. Most of my gains have been a result of breathing correctly during the day. I expect the CPAP to enhance those improvements.
