Important
I understand that this is a course of health education which includes breathing exercises and lifestyle guidelines. I
acknowledge that breathing education does not diagnose illness, disease or mental disorder and does not
prescribe medical treatment of pharmaceuticals. I understand that breathing training does not take the place
of medical diagnosis and treatment and that it is recommended that I see a medical doctor for any physical or
mental illness that I might have.
I agree that I have stated all medical conditions, treatments, medications or information required to complete an
informed breathing training session or program and I will keep the practitioner updated regarding any changes
to information prior to future sessions. I therefore declare that all the information supplied is true and correct to
the best of my knowledge. This information will remain private and confidential unless written or verbal
authorisation is given to send a report/letter to a doctor or other health practitioner.
I understand that the method taught to me is tailored to suit me and that completion of this course does not
qualify me to teach the Buteyko Institute Method. I agree not to give my course material to others.

Breathing Symptoms Tracker
Please fill in the first 3 columns (highlighted in bold) below. This does take some time but is an important part of
your breathing assessment and if possible we try to avoid using valuable time in the consultation doing this.
Assessment 1 takes place before your breathing assessment. Assessments 2 and 3 take place during the course
and assessment 4 takes place 6 weeks after the course. These regular assessments allow you to assess and monitor
your progress.
