During his childhood and into his twenties, Patrick suffered from asthma. In 1998, he read an article in an Irish newspaper about the work of Ukrainian Doctor Konstantin Buteyko. By applying the basic two principles from Dr. Buteyko, his asthma improved by about 60 to 70% in one week.
So that he could teach this method to asthma sufferers like himself, Patrick trained directly under Dr. Konstantin Buteyko at The Buteyko Clinic in Moscow.
In March 2002, Patrick was accredited by Professor Buteyko. When he returned to Ireland, Patrick founded Buteyko Clinic International.
During the next thirteen years, Patrick built on Dr. Buteyko’s pioneering work. In 2015, Patrick launched Oxygen Advantage®, a program that incorporates simulation of high-altitude training, along with functional breathing training.
