Asthma Foundation Conference in Wellington, 9-10 October 2014

Glenn will present a workshop at the Asthma Foundation Conference in Wellington.

The workshop title is: Snoring – sleep apnoea – asthma – crooked teeth... What’s the link?

Glenn will explain the connection between mouth-breathing, over-breathing and craniofacial development, and how poor breathing habits can contribute to asthma and other respiratory disorders. 

The workshop will help participants identify actionable approaches for improving breathing pattern in clients with asthma.

Upcoming School Holiday Programme

Teaching children good oral posture, nasal breathing and diaphragm breathing early in life helps the jaw to develop correctly with natural wide dental arches and plenty of space for growing teeth. This ensures the best chance for straight uncrowded teeth. Other benefits include fewer dental caries and less likelihood of enlarged adenoids, glue ear and tonsillitis. The incidence of respiratory infections and respiratory disorders is also significantly reduced. Nose breathing and good tongue posture are also shown to reduce bedwetting.

It’s not too late to enrol your child in our October school holiday programme.

Monday, 29^th September – Thursday, 2^nd October
(11:00am – 12:00pm or 3:00pm – 4:00pm daily)

Hay Fever Hell – How to beat it

In the Spring 2014 issue of 'Allergy Today' we are told that up to 80 percent of people with asthma have allergic rhinitis.

What if the symptoms of allergies and hay fever could be relieved by simply changing the way you breathe? In other words, learning to breathe the way we are supposed to breathe.

Practitioner Training

Congratulations to Susan Allen and Olga Horne our newly qualified practitioners. Both Susan (top left) and Olga (bottom left) have started teaching courses at our Freemans Bay clinic. Susan will be moving to Wanaka in November and will be offering Buteyko courses and yoga instruction there. However, she will be visiting Auckland regularly and will still be teaching at our clinic.  We have a remarkable team of trainees in 2014 including: Arisa Shioda BDS (Shizuoka, Japan), Dina Ceniza, Ines Steward, and Pia Schroeter. With our new trainees also come many exciting opportunities. Ongoing training will take place at Duckling Dental, Japan in 2015. Other projects initiated by our new trainees include sleep apnoea research and a pilot programme to offer breathing programmes at one Auckland school. There will be more about these initiatives in our next newsletter.

Interested in becoming a registered Buteyko Practitioner?  Glenn is currently accepting applications for the 2015 Buteyko Practitioner Training Programme, commencing in February 2015.  

Duckling Dental Japan

In June, I spent two weeks training 20 staff at Duckling Dental Clinic in Shizuoka, one hour by Shinkansen train from Tokyo. Duckling Dental was founded by Dr Masaaki Shioda and specialises in paediatric orthodontics... Duckling Dental in Shizuoka is without a doubt one of the most advanced dental clinics for paediatric dentistry I have seen. 

It was an unforgettable experience...
