Breathing exercises according to the Strelnikova method
Breathing gymnastics is recommended as both a treatment and preventive method for absolutely everyone. It involves a unique nasal breathing pattern combined with movements that engage the entire body, including:
- The head;
- Arms and legs;
- The shoulder girdle;
- The abdomen;
- The spine.
The mucous membrane of the nose contains receptors that are reflexively connected to nearly all organs and systems in our body. Since physical activity requires increased oxygen intake, during this exercise routine, tissues throughout the body absorb oxygen more effectively, significantly boosting immunity.
This practice leads to active oxygenation of the brain, improving the function of all centers and triggering self-regulation of metabolic processes. Fatigue is reduced, physical performance increases, the nervous system strengthens, psychological well-being improves, mood enhances, and vitality rises.
Sense of smell is restored, and not only nasal breathing improves — it also actively trains the most powerful respiratory muscle: the diaphragm. The diaphragm, in turn, gently massages the liver and almost all organs of the abdominal cavity, positively affecting the whole body and promoting the development of chest muscles, as well as correcting spinal deformities.
As a treatment method, it helps eliminate conditions such as asthma, hypertension, neurocirculatory dystonia (VSD), and others — while simultaneously training the entire body, making it healthier, stronger, and more resilient.
Breathing Gymnastics has Proven Effective in Treating:
- Respiratory diseases;
- Cardiovascular disorders;
- Digestive system issues;
- Musculoskeletal disorders;
- Urinary and reproductive system problems;
- Depression and neuroses.
WHAT EXACTLY DOES BREATHING GYMNASTICS OFFER FOR POST-COVID RECOVERY?
One common consequence of a coronavirus infection is shortness of breath, which hinders daily activities due to lung tissue damage in patients who have had COVID-19.
Regular exercise helps loosen and remove mucus, providing natural lung drainage. Respiratory muscles are trained and strengthened. Thanks to improved lung aeration, gas exchange becomes more efficient, helping to prevent respiratory insufficiency and lung fibrosis.
Patients fully recover through regular sessions of breathing exercises. Physical tolerance and sense of smell are restored. Follow-up CT scans show no post-inflammatory changes or fibrosis in the lungs.
By practicing this breathing gymnastics regularly, you gain the key to health, youth, and longevity.
