Clinical effects of the Buteyko breathing method
Diseases of the musculoskeletal system
● Osteochondrosis
- Elimination of the symptoms (pain and unpleasant sensations due to bony
necrosis).
- With the increased CP, gradual normalization of restorative processes in the
affected areas and bone re-growth.
- High CPs (over 35 s) for some weeks result in healing of the bone in a
relatively normal shape and absence of any symptoms.
- Prevention of surgery, as in case of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, and the need
for joint replacement.
- Prevention of complications (e.g., arthritis).
- Significant improvements in the quality of life.
● Polyarthritis
- Immediate reduction or elimination of pain.
- With the increased CP, gradual reduction in joint swelling, and their
stiffness and restrictions of movements.
- When the student achieved 35 s morning CP and maintained this level for some
weeks, normalization of the regenerative processes in the affected areas leads
to elimination of degenerative processes, inflammation, and joint damage and
complete disappearance of symptoms.
- Prevention of surgery and the need for joint replacement.
- Prevention of complications.
- Normalization of the emotional life of the students and significant
improvements in the quality of life.
● Chronically poor healing of bone fractures
- Immediate reduction or elimination of pain.
- With the increased CP, gradual reduction in possible swelling, stiffness, and
restrictions of movements.
- When the student achieved 35 s morning CP and maintained this level for some
weeks, normalization of the regenerative processes in the affected areas leads
to elimination of degenerative processes, inflammation, and healing of the
fracture and complete disappearance of symptoms.
- Prevention of surgery and the need for joint replacement.
- Prevention of complications.
- Significant improvements in the quality of life.
