POWERbreathe®

I've long been leery of forced inhalations for breathing development. Stems from singing insights as well as teachers of the Ilsa Gindler school of movement and breathing, as the German-American physical therapy of Caroloa Speads and Ilse Middendorf and Qi Gong (Chi Kung).

Basically, I see them as tightening the chest, reinforcing unhealthy mouth breathing/snoring/apnea, and reducing subtle internal sensing and the longevity that increased FEV1 and Optimal Breathing Work has to offer. Athletes by their competitive nature need to suppress many healthy breathing feedback signals. Long after the competition is over, these signals stay suppressed, and this is one key reason that athletes do not have the extra long lives that superior conditioning should suggest. Maximum FEV1 gets lost and stays lost.

People with hidden breathing pattern issues many times will not know that the forced inhale is actually tightening their chest and shutting down internal proprioceptiveness. They, as in Buteyko, can get better because of strengthened endogenous breathing and improved gas exchange, but the exogenous aspect and its relationship to internal chemistry of easier breathing becomes compromised and invites future problems such as lessened deep relaxation, sub-optimal parasympathetic balance and/or loss of sense of self.

The capnograph I use to monitor progress can often expose many of those situations and prove beyond any medical/doctor's doubt that the person needs Optimal Breathing Work--self-help or assisted training. It will also expose bad breathing that is invisible to the eye and hidden from many other diagnostics.

Every physician and respiratory therapist should have one. E-mail me for more information.
