The first thing to understand is that Buteyko depends
almost entirely on your own commitment to make yourself well. Like so
many other areas of life what you get out of Buteyko is related to what
you are prepared to put in.
Buteyko practitioners work as teachers,
guiding you through learning the breathing exercises and advising you
on how best to manage your condition. However, without the dedication
to practise by yourself you are much less likely to see improvements in
your health. The good news is that by following the exercise programme
the majority of people will be noticing a significant improvement in their
condition within a couple of weeks.
The breathing techniques themselves are
not physically demanding. In fact the majority of the programme is carried
out sitting comfortably in a chair. However it is usual for practitioners
to focus on physical fitness as well and encourage their clients to take
some form of regular daily exercise.
Most people with asthma recognise that
stress and emotion can play a part in bringing on an attack and therefore
learning to relax forms an important part of Buteyko training
Finally most practitioners also advise
on useful changes to the diet to assist in restoring normal respiratory
function as far as possible.
