SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION BY PATRICK MCKEOWN

Lecture 1 update img

LECTURE 1: CHRONIC HYPERVENTILATION SYNDROME

In this video, you will be introduced to the history of chronic hyperventilation and how to recognise the typical characteristics in your client population. Identify in a matter of minutes whether your client exhibits dysfunctional breathing patterns.

Lecture 1 update img

LECTURE 2: STRESS AND BREATHING

Stress has a profound influence to breathing causing the respiratory rate to become faster, deeper, more noticeable and often through the mouth. To counteract stress, the typically instruction to take a deep breath – to take a large breath of fresh air into your lungs is entirely the wrong thing to do. Instead, to evoke the relaxation response, gently slow down and soften breathing to improve blood flow and the delivery of oxygen to the brain. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system, inducing a calming effect on the body and mind.

LECTURE 3: HOW SHOULD WE BREATHE?

In this video, you will be introduced to efficient breathing habits. Supported with references, healthy breathing is light, quiet, effortless, soft, through the nose, diaphragmatic, rhythmic and gently paused on the exhale. This is how human beings breathed until the comforts of modern life changed everything, including our breathing.

LECTURE 4: BREATHING PHYSIOLOGY EXPLAINED IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE TO FACILITATE UNDERSTANDING

Learn breathing physiology including the functioning and regulation of breathing, the oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve (how oxygen is released from the blood to the cells), relationship of breathing with blood pH, and how breathing influences blood circulation and opening and closing of airways.

Lecture 5 update img

LECTURE 5: NASAL NITRIC OXIDE: THE MIGHTY MOLECULE FOR GOOD HEALTH

Nitric oxide is sometimes referred to as the mighty molecule. This molecule is secreted from the sinuses into the nasal cavity, and with each breath it travels into the lungs and passes into the blood. Nitric oxide plays fundamentally vital roles in the human body including the sterilisation of incoming air, reversal and prevention of high blood pressure and cholesterol, maintenance of homeostasis (keeping the body in balance) along with neurotransmission (how the brain cells communicate with each other).

Lecture 6 update img

LECTURE 6: NOSE BREATHING TO IMPROVE OXYGEN UPTAKE AND TRANSFER TO THE CELLS

It is well documented that breathing through the nose is very important for good quality sleep, airway dilation, improved oxygen uptake in the blood and oxygen transfer to the cells. In addition, nose breathing during childhood is imperative to normal development of a childs face and airways. Spending the first few years of life with the mouth hanging open results in changes to the shape of the face of the child- leading to a less attractive face and increases the risk of lifelong obstructive sleep apnea.

Lecture 7 update img

LECTURE 7: EFFECTS OF HYPERVENTILATION SYNDROME

According to the late Dr Claude Lum, chronic hyperventilation affects any organ or system to different degrees. The negative effects of chronic hyperventilation on respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, anxiety, sleep, energy levels and speech production as well as overall health are listed.

LECTURE 8: MEASURING BREATHING VOLUME

Measure the breathing volume of your clients using the Control Pause. The length of time that one can hold their breath for comfortably provides a measurement of breathing volume, that is supported by a number of researchers from 1975 to the present day.

LECTURE 9: BLOCKED & STUFFY NOSE (RHINITIS)

Often thought of as an innocuous habit, this lecture details the science of the negative effects of rhinitis and open mouth breathing on common and debilitating complaints including asthma, sleep disordered breathing, ADHD and craniofacial developments.

LECTURE 10: BREATHING & VOCAL DYSFUNCTION

Speech is the culmination of two essential human functions: breathing and communication. We must consider all the factors in relation to one another. A disturbance in one area will upset the balance necessary to maintain healthy phonation.

LECTURE 11: NASAL OBSTRUCTION STUDY

A study to investigate the effectiveness of the Buteyko technique on the nasal symptoms of clients with asthma. Results showed a reduction of nasal symptoms including snoring by 70% at three month follow up.

LECTURE 20: EXERCISE 2 – CUPPING HANDS

Especially formulated by Patrick, cupping hands is an excellent barometer for clients to feel their breathing, soften it and create the air hunger. The added advantage is re-breathing of carbon dioxide to help reset the breathing center to a more optimal breathing pattern.

LECTURE 21: EXERCISE 2- IMPORTANT POINTS

Included is a list of commands and sentences which have proved very helpful in communicating the reduced breathing exercises. A special emphasis is placed on the client not deliberately interfering with their breathing muscles. In other words, allowing breathing to soften with relaxation, hands on chest

LECTURE 22: EXERCISE 2- ADVANCED

Advanced reduced breathing involves merging of reduced breathing volume along with diaphragmatic breathing. Techniques are provided to activate a stiff diaphragm. Patrick teaches a model how to apply diaphragmatic breathing. Helping clients with reverse breathing is also demonstrated.and tummy and breathing awareness.

LECTURE 23: EXERCISE 2 – SIGNS TO LOOK OUT FOR

How do you know whether your clients are practising the breathing exercises correctly? What signs to look out for to ensure that they have tolerable air shortage? For example, one of the signs includes increased watery saliva in the mouth which is a sign that the bodies parasympathetic tone has been activated.

LECTURE 24: EXERCISE 3 – WALKING WITH MOUTH CLOSED

Understand how to teach children and teenagers including how to motivate with a detailed listing of the health benefits including improved sleep, concentration and improved sports performance. Also, included is the importance of breathing to ensure normal development of the face. The reality is that mouth breathing often leads to craniofacial changes including a longer face, narrow jaws and crooked teeth. This section describes how to impart this to a child without creating a complex or stigma.

LECTURE 28:EXERCISE 6- MANY SMALL BREATH HOLDS FOR COUGH, WHEEZE, STRESS OR PANIC ATTACK
