I had a couple day hospital stay after I aspirated into a lung, and ordered one just like this. I watched this video when I got it, and I am immediately hooked on it. Great job! Thanks a gazillion!
Got one ages ago but only just started using it. The amount of mucous brought up is surprising . Would definitely recommend this product for others with lung conditions
I have had my Air Physio for years. It is especially coming in handy now. I tested positive for Covid yesterday. This morning in between my 5 minute session I coughed up a lot of mucous. It was such a relief as now it doesn’t hurt to cough making it easier to breathe. This little gadget is a must have for those of us who have lung issues. As for the cost, I got mine on sale. They do have good deals for family bundles as well.
I love mine! I have not needed to use my nebulizer as much. I even put it in my purse and take it with me wherever I go. I have found I can use this instead of my rescue inhaler at times. I highly recommend this product!
COPD says the doctor. Have scripted inhaler daily. Am using this air physio for about 3+ weeks now.. went from twice a day to once a day. It has increased my ability to inhale to exhale more than twice the length of time for each occassion, from when I started. Do persevere up to 10 minutes until even harder sputum is coughed up. Yes I do recommend it.
I've got one. Just started using it about 3 days now. The video is helpful but maybe you could us a microphone to show people the noise it makes when you really get that ball bouncing. It's like a cat purring in slow motion. You can feel it down to your stomach. I usually feel it towards the end of my exhale. After a few tries I can make the vibration last longer. My oxygen level is usually at a 97-98%. Today 04/28/2023 I am a solid 98%. I'll edit this comment in a few weeks and let you know what happens. .... It's been two months and I have not been using it as much as I thought I would. Sporadically. I also have not noticed any changes. I would say inconclusive results. My oxygen level is, on average, 97 and still is 97. I'll try again to do it every morning.
Thankyou for this excellent video. This is most helpful and has assisted me with correct usage. The air physio device is brilliant and does work, when used correctly.
@@ThePhysioChannel Oh thank you so much for your reply! I am a former smoker and have slightly hyperinflated lungs. Could this device help me to regain elasticity in my lungs and begin to fully exhale again?
Trying mine now for the first time. Coughed after bit of flem come up. Trying to get rid of bronchitis. Used for 5 mins. Can definitely feel my lungs had a workout
@The Last Sifu it actually did. Just used it the way it says to. But after a while I just layed back in bed watching TV doing it. And that actually worked better. I'm still going for a chest scan because I occasionally now have the coughing out of no where. But sometimes it's food that triggers it. I was told you can get something similar to women's thrush, but in your chest that causes a itchy throat. I'm thinking it could be that.
@Anna Curtis oh no, I found out a few people I know have long covid my symptoms got alot worse after covid. My friend went to get a lung scan coz he kept coughing and the doctors don't know what to do and said it's long covid.
Just received and opened mine, and your video was helpful 😊 I think it works, at least I felt the fluttering and some mucus came up.. not so much fun though with pneumonia and bruised ribs 😅
I purchased this device because it stated it will help me with better breathing, etc. I am an actor and singer, and most often get out of breath from dancing and trying to sing. I am hopeful for this device.
When you are using this, at the recommended 45 degree angle, can you see the ball bearing well enough, so you know you are exhaling correctly? Seems yes, you could, however with a bit cross-eyed focusing. And doing that for 5 minutes, might create some dizziness (for me), maybe not for others. Has this symptom ever come up in reviews from your customers? Thank you.
Thank you for your comment. Please note this I'd not my product and other brandd are available. The airphysio company may be able to advise further. I hope it helps you. All the best.
Yes, it can make you feel light-headed if you go at it too hard. Just trial and error really. Just breathe normally for a few breaths without using the Air Physio, and that symptom should vanish. Also, you don't actually need to see the ball bearing moving, you can hear it clacking up and down as well as feel the vibration of it.
You can’t really see it that well even when it’s positioned correctly. You feel it physically and hear the way the ball makes a fluttering sound. Dizziness isn’t unusual, but it means you should take your breath in, wait for some of the oxygen to actually absorb, and then exhale through the device. Dizziness is just you not getting enough oxygen in. Take a break and breath normally till it goes away.
I have a question. I am 81. I have had asthma since birth. At this time of the year, I usually get Bronchitis - so far I haven't get it.. Can I use this device when my chest feels tight or after I have had a bad coughing spell? I would be using it for just a few breaths -- besides doing this 3 times a day.
I talked to my doctor. He feels that 3 times a day is enough. He wants me to give the device more time to do its job. He notice my lungs sounded very good. Better than they have in a long time. Thank you
Forgive me for being dumb. May I clarify. It is the breathing OUT that is the way it works? It is not like an inhaler which works when you breathe IN the chemical in it. Pleat clarify. Many thanks.
I just got one tonight. This video is helpful, but I still can't seem to use it properly. Once in a while, I'll get the vibration effect, but then it's gone, even if I hold the unit the same way & exhale at a variety of pressures. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
I've been diagnosed with Asthma, 'small airway disease' and bronchiectasis. I have a cheap-o nebulizer I never use bc its inconvenient to be plugged into the wall. how does this differ?
I have COPD and really depend on my nebulizer , can't leave home without one. You can order a small handheld nebulizer from Walmart , Amazon and others that just take couple of batteries for around $30 and up. I take mine in my purse and glad to have it in power outages. Just in case.. Going to order an Airphysio now.
I just got this. I opened it up and dropped it on the carpet. I picked up the parts and put it back together again. I started blowing and sucking on it. After a while it strange that nothing happened. I then read the instructions and found out that there was a ball bearing. I looked around and found it on the floor. I installed the ball bearing and I started breathing in and out through my mouth. I did feel phlegm at the back of my throat and coughed it up. Still I thought that I wasn’t doing it right so I sought out videos. I will try the method in this video and see how it goes. But I was able to get some phlegm out earlier. I like that I can do it without any kind of meds.
Mine just arrived today. Just tried it and its weird.....get the ball fluttering and get it at the right angle and you can really feel the vibration deep in your chest. took a couple of tries to get the technique right. Used it for about 10 mins so far. WIll update after a month or so
Is there any difference between this product and the Better Breathing Sport device. They claim patent technology. I notice that this one is slightly cheaper.
I have ILO, which means when breathing IN my larynx fold closes over and I cannot breathe out or in. Would this help, do you think?. It is terrifying when you cannot breathe.
@vakantieman3270 Using levels higher than fifty and then switching to patches will not satisfy any cravings. I have not tried patches but I have tried gum and the gum was useless to me.
@@dallanlewis6084 well then just stop.. it. Because it’s definitely a tolerance problem. Next bottle of vape liquid you buy make sure it has less nicotine in it and build down from that. Nicotine is super addictive so yeah better to stop..
The same can be achieved by breathing in. Then breathing out slowly, while gently patting the gap in your lips with your hand. Repeat this a number of times and you'll bring the mucus up.
@isaiahjr9259 The only job I excelled was cutting a lawn with a Briggs and Stratton Lawn mower, a push lawn mower, or a sidetgrower on level 2-4 it's was a free for all in this situation. I was a bit rough at times, but I eased into it. 4 stroke engine oil, ftw. 💀
@@ThePhysioChannel The link given in the description comes up with a whole page of similar devices, various brands, and I'm not sure which one you are intending/recommend. The actual brand of the devices is not available until you click on each listing.
Thanks a lot for your awesome video. It is really very helpful!! Unfortunately, every time I try to use my device, it does not close properly and the ball keeps falling. It does not stay where it should be. When I blow, the ball falls off and the device opens. I don't know anymore what to do to be able to use this device. I am sure it should work; however, perhaps my device is defective? Please advise. Thanks kindly. God bless.
I have post nasal drip cough. I just received one of these things from a friend and I haven't tried it yet because I don't think it will work...Can it?
I like to use it 10 minutes then wait 5 to 10 minutes then do it about 5 more times. It's almost as if I got it loosened up and then those extra few puffs finishes the congestion off.
Got one not so long ago. Now I know how to use it correctly - Thanks for the video :)
this is me! I've had it for a year and bad bronchitis got me to dig it out and look up how to actually use it. Not disappointed at all!!

@@sarahangel3439 how do you feel about it now 4 months later because I have asthma and I'm thinking of getting it?

Good video mate been using the device for around 2 weeks 3 times a day and its increased my over all health.
Great to read. Thank you 😊
this helped me quit smoking...
everytime i wanted to smoke i practices with it
Ayo that's a great idea, maybe I'll get one.

excellent demonstration and info - thanks
Very welcome
Thanks for the video just started today!
Thank you so much! Greatly appreciate your instruction.
You're very welcome!
I wonder if using an expectorant like guaifenesin would help the device out, or inhaling steamy water with eucalyptus oil beforehand?

Hmm unsure here, check the device has no structural faults. With the correct flow rate the ball should bounce and cause the vibration.
@@ThePhysioChannel thanks.
Good teacher ❤ thanks for your video
Thank you. I hope it helped
So how exactly do you know if you are blowing hard enough or not hard enough ?
Can you see if the ball bearings are vibrating ?
Too hard and the ball will not vibrate.
Got one thanks for the advice:)
Glad I could help!

Dear Doctor, wherefrom can I buy a mucus clearing device? Can this be bought and shipped to a location of an overseas country like India?
Links should be in description. Sorry I do not sell these.

Is this more useful for people who have mild Asthma than an inhaler?
No not to replace an inhaler. Just helps clear airways and promotes good respiratory health.

We dont offer product advice but have you tried taping it closed? The device should not open though and may be faulty. I hope this helps.
If you put it together you should give the cap a little twist to tighten it shut. If I forget to do this after cleaning it will do the same thing.
I have post nasal drip cough. I just received one of these things from a friend and I haven't tried it yet because I don't think it will work...Can it?
Did you try it? Did it help with that issue? I think I have the same problem
Would there be any advantage to taking a puff of Albuterol before using this device?
From experience, I'd use the albuterol inhaler first to open and relax the airways and not trigger further bronchospasm.
Stuck with loads of mucus after cov 19 do you think one there’s will help ?
yes I hope so, plus see our recent upload. We hope it helps you.
