For those who frequently experience chest tightness, shortness of breath, or the persistent sensation of something obstructing their airways—especially during illnesses like colds or chronic respiratory conditions—mucus buildup can be a significant burden. The AirPhysio breathing trainer may offer relief.
AirPhysio is a lung expansion and mucus clearance device based on the OPEP (Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure) principle. In simple terms, it creates controlled resistance during exhalation to help open airways and loosen mucus adhered to lung walls, making it easier to expel. Imagine it as a pneumatic tool for your lungs—gently vibrating to dislodge stubborn secretions.
When exhaling into AirPhysio, a steel ball inside the device oscillates, generating oscillating positive pressure. This pressure serves two purposes:
Once mucus is mobilized, users can cough to clear it effectively.
The device requires no special training: users simply inhale deeply, then exhale through the device repeatedly. Its compact design allows for portable respiratory therapy anywhere. Potential beneficiaries include individuals with:
Medical consultation is advised before use to determine suitability.
While AirPhysio may aid mucus clearance and breathing, it is not a substitute for prescribed medications. Those with severe respiratory symptoms should seek professional medical care promptly.
