    Hi, how many sessions should I do before I move it up to the next level?

    • @AliMedInc
      @AliMedInc  10 місяців тому +2

      To begin, complete ten reps (ten inhales and exhales) at the lowest setting (setting #1 on both the inhale and exhale dials). Repeat. Two sets of reps make up one session. You’ll know when you’re using the appropriate setting when moderate effort (60-70% of max effort) is required to complete two reps - you may notice heavy breathing or being limited to speaking one-two sentences immediately following the exercise.

    question... so when breathing are we only using mouth breathing or is nose breathing also involved in the mix ?

    • @AliMedInc
      @AliMedInc  4 місяці тому

      The intended use of THE BREATHER is to breathe in and breathe out through the mouthpiece. To use this device effectively, it is important that you do not nose-breathe during the training. AliMed does not currently offer any products intended to strengthen nose breathing.

    Can be use bronchitis patient? For sputum cough up purpose?

    • @AliMedInc
      @AliMedInc  11 місяців тому +2

      Many people with chronic bronchitis or Bronchiectasis use THE BREATHER to strengthen their respiratory muscles, which helps clear mucus more effectively through improved coughing. Exhaling against resistance also helps mobilize mucus in the airways, making them easier to clear. When training with THE BREATHER, patients report reduced medication and oxygen use for emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Check out patient testimonials on Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) and chronic bronchitis at www.pnmedical.com/user-stories/, or learn more at support.pnmedical.com/portal/en/kb/articles/what-are-the-benefits-of-respiratory-muscle-training-for-those-with-lung-disease.

    How fast is the inhale? And how fast is the exhale? I tend to breath very very slowly but it feels strange with the breather. Maybe I breath too fully? I guess I don't have to breath all the air in that is possible. Would it be better to do short inahles wonly breathing to 50% capacity?

      Yes- note that inhale and exhale settings should always be determined independently of each other, as the muscle groups for inhaling and exhaling gain strength at different speeds. Here are some links that may help you determine what settings to use and find a training plan that works for you:

      No, the two dials do not need to be set to the same number.

      Respiratory Muscle Training is a safe, highly adherable lifestyle intervention for improving blood pressure and endothelial function in midlife/older adults with above‐normal initial systolic blood pressure. The manufacturer completed a study in 2021 that confirmed there had been reduced blood pressure by 2% and improved circulation (artery diameter) but 45% after 6 weeks of regular RMT in post-menopausal women.

      To ensure that there is no saliva or debris stuck inside THE BREATHER, clean with warm, soapy water, rinse off well, shake off excess water, and air dry on a clean paper towel. If this does not fix the problem, ensure that the silicone diaphragm is engaged. To do this, exert a moderate level (60%-70% of max effort) of effort on both inhale and exhale. You should hear strong wind sounds and feel the resistance when breathing in and out through the device.

      Using the Breather promotes diaphragmatic breathing and strengthens all respiratory muscles. Breathing through the mouth is more effective during these exercises, however strengthening the diaphragm by using the Breather will make breathing through the nose more effective.

    why does the breather have 6 for the highest inhale setting but 5 for the highest exhale setting?

    • @AliMedInc
      @AliMedInc  7 місяців тому +1

      Inhalation and active exhalation utilize distinct muscles and muscle groups. Inspiratory and expiratory muscle groups respond differently to training, with different maximum capacities (which are reflected by the differences between MIP (maximum inspiratory pressure) and MEP (maximum expiratory pressure). The distinct intensity settings on the Breather for inhale and exhale were adapted for optimal training of both muscle groups.

    Should I inhale with my diaphragm or with the chest?

    • @AliMedInc
      @AliMedInc  7 місяців тому +1

      Respiratory muscle training (RMT) promotes diaphragmatic breathing. This is done by contracting the diaphragm, a muscle located horizontally between the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity. RMT improves exercise-limiting shortness of breath and delays time to fatigue in healthy people and athletes. RMT enhances performance by improving respiratory muscle endurance, maximal sustainable ventilatory capacity (MSVC), and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV).

    I own the Recover version. I purchased the Fit version recently. The Recover works flawlessly. The Fit does not. On exhale 2, it sounds like a kazoo. On inhale 1, it is hard, on inhale 2 it is very easy and you can hear flapping when you inhale. Their tech support is too busy to take any calls, emails are days slow. I have asked for a replacement, but they tell me I am using it wrong. When you exhale, it comes out of the inhale side. None of these problems exist on the Recover model. I will not buy or recommend this to anyone.

    • @AliMedInc

      While using THE BREATHER for Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT), you should breathe in and breathe out through the mouthpiece. It is important that you do not breathe through the nose during training, as breathing through the mouth allows for easier airflow and more effective muscle strengthening. We don't advise stopping nose breathing altogether-in fact, strengthening the diaphragm and respiratory muscles using THE BREATHER enhances the effectiveness of nose breathing.
