    When I ended up with Empyema, which I was in the hospital for a month, I began deep breathing, I have to tell you, they weren’t sure I’d make it, deep breathing was so hard, however, with children, grandkids, I was so determined. I’m just getting over double pneumonia. It’s been really, really tough, I have a compromised immune system. She is truly a life saver that I’ve come across. Take her message seriously. Praying for all.

      Dobry Dool it wasn’t emphysema, it’s Empyema, the specialists told me it was an airborne I breathed in!!! A third world country infection, it however has caused Emphysema, or the beginnings. Thank you for reading! I will check the info out however. When I had Empyema, the resources I honestly went to was for Emphysema, and also asthma, I needed info, and what they did for these two. What I do, always have, deep breathing. I danced for many years, & taught! They don’t have much info on Empyema. With so many tubes coming out to drain the infection, breathing tubes, I don’t want any one to go through. Thank you for being aware! Much peace. 🕊

You did a wonderful job of explaining the medical physiology & providing instructions for the deep breathing exercises. Also, your calm voice & demeanor are perfect for your role as a physiotherapist.

    I started this exercise in 2016 after getting sick and tired of Upper Respiratory flare-ups that knocked me out for 10 days due to my asthma. Since then, I haven't had a flare-up and even made it through Covid without getting sick. A friend of mine asked me what exercises I did and I dug through the results because this wasn't on the top.
    All I remembered was a medical professional and a gentleman who spoke with a posh accent and the gentleman was named "Tom" pronounced as "Tam". Glad I found it. Will spread the gospel. I do this exercise every night. I know I should do it during the day but I don't remember till the post-nasal drip hits me when I lie down. Regardless, I haven't missed a day since 2016 and it has worked miracles.

    I've had a mild, but annoying chest infection on my left lung for 3 weeks now and have been trying to cough up all the phlegm I can. It got to the point though where my stomach and chest muscles became tight and started to hurt a bit and I wasn't getting the phlegm to come up properly. I did one round of these exercises and after the 3rd huff I coughed up a decent amount of phlegm with just one cough.
    Thank you so much for this. Hopefully my recovery will be a bit quicker now.

    I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis 1 year ago, although Ive had it most of my life (I cant remember a time when I wasn't coughing up flem. I have naturally learned the huffing technique on my own! I sing music, and doing the breathing exercises for that helped me alot. Also, I do nasal cleanses daily, and drink tea with honey, cinnamon, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and ginger. I probably work out too vigorously, and I learned last year that hard labour doesn't get rid of Pneumonia! I also mostly cut milk, and alcohol out of my diet, as well as using only natural oils for freshening up the house. I even wear a dust mask while sweeping the floor! Great video! Thank you!

I am post polio from Dunedin, New Zealand and have a viral condition at present with all the symptoms of C-19 but 2 lots of tests a week apart have proven negative. Another test a physio showed me years ago was to use a plastic tube and to breath in and out against some water in a milk bottle -pressure needed to breathe out against the water.

    Thank you very much. You are a God send. I have a chronic respiratory condition, that causes alot of mucus. I will try to these exercise. You are very right. It is good to clear your lungs of phlegm or else it will give you a respiratory infection and that leads to lung scarring. Love this video

      Do you have to take antibiotics a lot? I'm 57 and have debilitating respiratory issues of always feeling like I have pneumonia. My doctors say there is nothing they can do.

      I don't eat gluten and dairy. I have damaged lungs from severe black mold poisoning and exposure to bad chemicals from my job.

    Very useful. I have given myself such a sore throat with so much vigorous coughing to relieve my chest. I am hoping this is a more gentle way. Thank you.

    3-18-2019 - - - - I'm a retired respiratory therapist (U.S.A) and concur with this video with the following exception: Huffing. As I understand huffing it is done as described here but while exhaling, one should simulate the movement made as if you were saying "huh" three or more times, but without using the vocal cords - keep the airway open without using / closing the glottis (what closes before coughing to compress the lung volume, and is released to do a cough). Think of laughing a short laugh without using the vocal cords. If your condition is not such that an expectorant is contraindicated, I like one of the over the counter medications that contain guaifenesin to loosen phlegm (ask your medical professional about this before using). Follow instructions on the product and/or the advice of your physician.

    Thank you for your helpful breathing exercises, which as I’m doing these a little already, I’m finding a difference already. Have just been diagnosed with bronciectasis, scarey thing as have always been well & fit. Oh well, guess have to deal with what comes our way.
    Your website is so thoughtfully done, so as to give us the proper tools in living & handling this.

      Hi , same here! Thought i was a fairly healthy 64 year old until 2 weeks ago! I had an ongoing chest infection and a CT scan showed bronchiectasis! My GP gave me a leaflet to read and said consult him if i started to cough again. I feel like i've been left to get on with it! This video has helped already . All American i hope you are doing ok?
