In this video Patrick McKeown will show you how to perform Buteyko Breathing Exercise for Adults.
The Buteyko method or Buteyko Breathing Technique is a form of complementary or alternative physical therapy that proposes the use of breathing exercises primarily as a treatment for asthma and other respiratory conditions.
Buteyko Breathing Exercise:
-Gently breathe out through nose
-Pinch nose with fingers to hold breath
-Hold breath for as long as possible
-Sway or nod your head as a distraction
-Release nose and resume breathing
-Calm breathing as soon as possible
-Wait half minute to one minute. Repeat six times.
Results suggested that breath holding increased the nasal volume, due to shrinkage of nasal membrane promptly and evenly within the nasal cavity.
Nasal airway resistance was decreased during breath holding in man and during experimentally induced asphyxia in animals.
When nasal breathing takes place in the presence of significant obstruction, there is an increase of FCO2, a decrease in FO2, and a decrease in nasal airway resistance. In other words, when nasal breathing is forced to push against significant obstruction, the effect of this obstruction appears to be that of decreasing the nasal resistance.
