I often have patients kindly inform me before their appointments that they have a cold or virus and even offer to cancel their appointment and stay away so as not to infect me. My answer to this is always:
“Thank you but it does not matter. If you feel well enough to attend then it’s fine”.
Why is this my response and why am I not worried about being around people with colds and virus’s etc?
Since becoming a registered and certified Buteyko instructor with Buteyko Clinic International over 6 years ago I have improved and strengthened my immune function by conditioning my respiratory system and breathing habits on a daily basis. As a result I suffer much fewer colds and certainly less intense when I do catch one.
To understand how breathing habits affect immune function take 5 mins to read the this article 😉
