Description

The Breather is an Inspiratory/Expiratory Respiratory Muscle Training device (RMT). It is a FDA Class 1 device in service for 30 years with almost 1 Million units sold. Increasing muscle strength using resistance training is effective in peripheral skeletal and respiratory muscles. Breathing against resistance during respiratory muscle training (RMT) activates and strengthens respiratory muscles and improves health and quality of life by promoting regained activity and exercise tolerance.

Resistive Inspiratory and Expiratory Muscle Therapy (RMT) Adjustable and independent pressure settings Patient can be in any position for therapy Lightweight and portable Easy to use and clean Reimbursable through Medicare Free and easy self-paced video protocol training for therapist and patient. Strengthens inspiratory muscles (diaphragm, external iIntercostals, accessory neck muscles) Builds expiratory muscles (internal intercostals, abdominals) Develops breathing from the diaphragm Lessens shortness of nreath Decreases overinflation Put one hand on stomach When breathing in, stomach should move outward There should not be much movement in the chest The shoulder should not move When breathing out, stomach should move inward Again, little movement in the chest No movement in the shoulders.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
As you breathe in and out of the Breather, it functions as a therapeutic exerciser for the lungs and breathing muscles. Resistance to inhalation (breathing in) strengthens the diaphragm, the major muscle of breathing, and the accessory muscles of the neck. Resistance to exhalation (breathing out) develops strength and tone in the abdominal muscles. Additionally, exhalation resistance mimics pursed lip breathing and helps to keep the airways clear of mucus.
Yes. Hundreds of studies on patients of a wide variety of diseases as well as on non-patients have shown that respiratory muscle training (RMT) has measurable, reliable and clinically meaningful effects. Examples include the significant increase of maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressure, peak inspiratory and expiratory flow, vital capacity, forced expiratory volume, heart rate, blood pressure, and hyperinflation (24). Please see our website for the research based evidence of the efficacy of RMT (https://www.pnmedical.com/science/).
Almost everyone gets lightheaded and may feel they are hyperventilating when they are new to Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT). Your body needs time to adjust to the increased exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. It may take you a week or two before the lightheadedness subsides while training. When it does occur during a session, pause for several minutes, breathing normally without The Breather and then continue. If the lightheaded feeling persists, stop and contact your care provider. You are welcome to contact us as well.
The Breather should be regularly cleaned with mild, warm soapy water to prevent build-up of saliva during training. Rinse your Breather well; shake off excess water and air dry on a clean paper towel. If it is completely dry, it can be stored in a plastic bag.
Try to train on a daily basis, as it may take up to 2 – 4 weeks to feel results. The deep, slow breathing is known to almost immediately assist in relaxation.
