BREATHING BRIGHTON
WITH KAY COWLING
BREATHING RE-EDUCATION
The way we breathe influences the functioning of our airways, blood circulation and oxygen release to the cells. Common conditions such as, asthma, rhinitis, hay fever, sinusitis, snoring, sleep apnea, hyperactivity and anxiety can be significantly helped by applying the Buteyko Method.
The method consists of simple exercises:
-
Learning how to switch from mouth breathing to nose breathing
-
Decongesting the nose
-
To reset the breathing centre in the brain, towards more functional breathing patterns
-
To help calm your nervous system
-
To improve breathlessness
The 3 main elements involved are:
Biochemical
How you breathe alters your blood gases, especially your carbon dioxide levels.
Building CO2 tolerance encourages vasodilation, which in turn improves overall health.
Biomechanical
How you breathe affects your diaphragm, ribs and accessory muscles.
Your diaphragm is key to stability and functional movement.
Psychophysiology
How you breathe influences your autonomic nervous system, energy levels and emotional state. Nasal breathing activates the vagus nerve, down-regulates stress and fosters mental clarity.
About Dr Buteyko
The Buteyko method was discovered by Dr Konstantin Buteyko in the 1950s. He observed that there was a strong correlation between health and breathing patterns in his patients.
With the simple hypothesis that retraining breathing patterns could improve health, he developed a research program and discovered that by teaching his patients to breathe less (soft, slow and low through the nose), he could dramatically reverse their symptoms.
This process is now known as The Buteyko Method and has helped thousands of people globally to improve their breathing and overall wellbeing.
