Welcome to Buteyko Works Ontario for  Asthma and Breathing Disorder Management. If you or your child has asthma or a breath related condition,  then this site is for you. It will provide you with the information you need to understand and control your condition.

The Buteyko method is based on the work of Russian Doctor Konstantin Buteyko. Dr. Buteyko discovered that many people, but especially Asthmatics, over breathe. Over breathing, or hidden hyperventilation, leads to low levels of carbon dioxide in the body. Contrary to popular belief carbon dioxide is not just a waste gas. In fact, it is responsible for balancing many bodily functions. Hidden hyperventilation over time creates many health problems. Dr. Buteyko believed that Asthma is the body's defense mechanism against excess loss of carbon dioxide. The Buteyko breathing exercises works to retrain your breathing center to accept normal levels of carbon dioxide. People who have successfully completed the 5 session course have experienced significant improvements in health and freedom for Asthma and other respiratory disorder symptoms.
