Patrick McKeown

In 1998, Patrick happened upon an article in an Irish newspaper which described the Buteyko breathing method. He tried one of the Buteyko breathing exercises – a simple technique to unblock the nose by holding the breath. He was surprised by how well it worked. After a lifetime of breathing problems, this simple experience of the Buteyko breathing method was so profound that Patrick McKeown made the switch to full time nasal breathing and began to slow down and normalize his breathing volume. The immediate improvements he experienced in his health launched him on a deep dive into study of the breath and of respiratory physiology, which saw him travel to Russia to train with Dr. Buteyko and become a certified teacher of the Buteyko breathing method.

COMMITMENT

Buteyko Clinic International is the result of Patrick McKeown’s commitment to share this work with as many people as possible. Since first experiencing the power of the Buteyko breathing technique – which he often says has changed his life for the better in unimaginable ways – he works tirelessly to introduce the practice to adults and children with chronic health conditions. His long-term goal is to educate professionals including yoga teachers, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists and dentists, especially pediatric dentists, about the Buteyko breathing method so they can better help their clients.

TRANSFORMATIVE

Breathwork is currently riding a wave. Since 2002, when only a few people were working with the breath and breathing exercises were the domain of elite athletes, committed yogis and other high-level professionals, awareness of breathing has changed and become more mainstream. Now, breathing and sleep are hot topics in health and wellbeing. Both can be transformed using simple Buteyko breathing exercises like the one Patrick found in a newspaper more than twenty years ago.

WHAT IS THE BUTEYKO METHOD?

Named after Dr Konstantin Buteyko, the Buteyko Method consists of a series of breathing exercises and guidelines specifically designed to reduce over-breathing (clinically known as ‘chronic hyperventilation’). The simple fact is that many people breathe too much, which alters the natural levels of gases in the blood, reduces oxygen delivery to tissues and organs, and causes constriction of the smooth muscles surrounding blood vessels and airways. This can lead to numerous health problems. Bringing breathing volume towards normal and making the switch from mouth to nose breathing helps to alleviate such health problems. Patrick McKeown is founder and Director of Training and Education at Buteyko Clinic International. Throughout his childhood and into his twenties, he suffered with severe asthma, breathing problems, poor concentration and disturbed sleep. His asthma left him hospitalized and on ever-increasing medication. Even an operation to relieve his nasal obstruction did not stop his breathing symptoms, sleep-disordered breathing and constant feelings of exhaustion.

WHAT ARE BREATHING EXCERCISES?

Dr. Buteyko saw that sick people breathe hard. He asked, is the sickness causing the hard breathing, or the hard breathing causing the sickness? People are often told to take deep, full, big breaths in the belief that this will increase oxygen delivery to the tissues. If we look at the science, it doesn’t work that way. If you take big breaths that increase the volume of air beyond what it should be, you get rid of too much carbon dioxide. Due to the Bohr Effect (first described by the Danish biochemist Christian Bohr in 1904) this causes red blood cells to actually hold on to oxygen instead of releasing it. By practicing the Buteyko breathing technique and developing subtle, soft, slow, light breathing while also maintaining diaphragmatic, nasal breathing, you’re increasing oxygen delivery to the cells. This is where it’s going to transform health.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE BUTEYKO BREATHING METHOD

"As a sleep expert with a practice focused on airway health and TMJD, knowledge and certification in the Buteyko Clinic Method is paramount in our practice and enables our team to bring the best protocol to the forefront of serving our patients and their journey to life changing healing. Patrick McKeown has no equal in the knowledge and passion to educate about the how's and why's of dysfunctional breathing and lays out a system and protocol to improve your office's treatment from day one. This course is a must if you have trained your team in OMT and will add to their passion and success!"

"This class provided me with such great insight for understanding that we need to address the breathing patterns as well as the airway anatomy in order to fully help patients improve. Having lifetime access to all the resources Patrick provided was extremely valuable.”
