Breathing Re-Education
The Importance of Breathing Re-Education
Proper breathing is about more than simply taking deep breaths. Breathing re-education is critical. Without it, habits like chronic mouth breathing can alter facial development, disrupt sleep, and compromise overall physical health.
Re-education can teach efficient breathing pattens Such As:
Nasal Breathing
Inhaling and exhaling through the mouth instead of the nose, can cause problems like dental decay, sleep issues, and changes to facial structure.
Improved Oxygen Utilization
Proper posture is when the tongue rests on the roof of the mouth, with lips closed and teeth slightly apart. Disrupted posture affects the whole body.
Improved Sleep Quality
Though common, severe and disruptive snoring can be a warning sign of obstructive sleep apnea, where breathing routinely stops and starts.
Reduced Overbreathing
This breathing technique teaches the body to breath gently, quietly and efficiently through the nose, restoring a calm, function breathing pattern.
Better Exercise Tolerance
Learning exercise tolerance teaches the body to maintain efficient nasal breathing during physical activity, helping reduce unnecessary overbreathing as activity levels increase.
Stress Regulation
Helps to regulate the body’s stress response by promoting calm, quiet, efficient breathing that helps the nervous system shift towards a relaxed and balanced state.
Enhanced Focus/Clarity
Supports mental clarity and focus by promoting an efficient breathing pattern instead of unnecessary overbreathing, supporting a calmer state and clear thinking.
What is The Buteyko Breathing Method?
The Buteyko Breathing Method is a targeted practice that retrains the body to take light, slow, and quiet breaths through the nose instead of breathing through the mouth. The Buteyko Method addresses underlying breathing patterns, teaching clients how to keep their airways clear and comfortable so they can sustain correct oral posture. Core features of this re-education method include breathing strictly through the nose during rest, sleep, and daily activities, reducing the amount of air breathed per minute, and focusing on diaphramic control.
Your Steps To Better Health:
1
Receive an evaluation. East Texas Orofacial Myology conducts an individualized assessment to identify dysfunctional breathing patterns, such as chronic mouth breathing and upper-chest over-breathing. We evaluate your baseline control to establish a personalized re-education plan built on evidence-based breathing principles.
2
Practice daily habituation. Clients build consistent daily habits to maintain strict nasal breathing during rest, sleep, exercise, and routine activities. Restoring proper nasal airflow stabilizes correct oral resting posture, protecting long-term facial development, sleep quality, and overall health.
