08 Oct 2025
Respiratory Skills Theatre
This session will give an overview of the evolution of Buteyko Breathing retraining in the NHS healthcare system, with its focus on physiological and evidence base. It will introduce what a healthy breathing pattern should include and why. It will give an overview of how individual people perception of breathlessness can be for those with respiratory conditions, neurodiversity to those exercising at a high level. We will introduce how to identify an altered or dysfunctional breathing pattern - leading to issues of disproportionate breathlessness (with or without underlying respiratory pathology). It will also include some practice of a few Buteyko Breathing techniques - which are safe for all.
