blaze100 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi, Has anyone here used one of those plastic mouth piece apparatuses that promise improved breathing in 3-5 days? They come under various names. They promise to strengthen breathing muscles by restricting inhale and exhale during exercise. I've tried yoga for last 5 years and walking too, which has helped, but my breathing is still not the same as before. I would just like to take a big old breath of air like I used to. Anyway, wondering if anyone has tried one of these and if it worked. Thanks. Barb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindi o'h Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Hi Barb, I was just given one with instructions in my pulmonary rehab class. It is called a P-flex. I trust that it does work. I have so much confidence in my pulm. therapist. Also, I was given another device called an Acapella. The purpose of this is to help to loosen and expel secretions. PFlex 908 Pompton Ave. Cedar Grove, NJ 07009-1292 Order # 553 Good luck. You may have to have someone show you how to use the device correctly.

Frank Lamb Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Barb,I know what you mean.Sometimes trying to get a great big refreshing whole breath of air is like chasing the Holy Grail or something equally challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
