About the Buteyko Breathing Technique
Professor Konstantin Buteyko primarily developed a series of techniques whilst working as a House Doctor in Russia and since then has introduced these techniques to the western world - firstly in Australia and in New Zealand.
Following extensive research into how ‘faulty’ breathing was linked to ill health and hyperventilation, Professor Buteyko emphasised the requirement of gaining the correct chemical balance between CO2 and Oxygen. The research and the resulting techniques are now successfully practiced by over 1million worldwide.
Who Can Benefit?
Children as young as 6 years old and adults in their 90’s have successfully practiced and refined these techniques. Parents of children under 5 years can be taught the approaches and pass them on to their asthmatic children.
Sports Performance
Regaining the ability to participate in sports or to improve on performance are some of the significant benefits thus enhancing the quality of life. After just a few weeks the client can put the specific training into sports activity and experience for themselves the increased energy levels they have for participation and enabling much quicker recovery rates.
Increasingly professional sports persons are using the Buteyko techniques, including members of the Leicester Rugby Union Team and Athletes. Trials have also been completed in Australia to show how these techniques can enhance the performance of sports persons.
What is the Course Format?
The main goal is to change the breathing pattern and the physiology.
Courses are designed to suit individual needs involving individual sessions and/or group sessions. A minimum of 7 hours teaching and practice refining techniques takes place.
The Course is in four main stages. Techniques to assist and clear blockages to the breathing process, changing the breathing pattern releasing the stresses to the system – cognitive and physical and finally, maintaining health and building the immune system.
Aftercare is important to maintain confidence and progress. The Tutor is always available for advice and a follow up session is recommended - usually a month after the course is completed.
