AirPhysio: A clever mucus clearing device for naturally better breathing
, by AussiePharmaDirect, 3 min reading time
From your first breath as a newborn, breathing is one of the body’s unconscious functions that we all take for granted. That is, unless you are affected by a lung or respiratory condition such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, emphysema, RSV, pneumonia, or even the common cold or flu.
Not being able to breathe easily is deeply worrying for those impacted by these diseases as it affects every part of their life.
Doctors prescribe drugs of varying strengths and effectiveness to treat these conditions, but now there’s another treatment protocol that you may not have heard about that offers an all-natural way to clear mucus from the lungs.
Utilising the airway clearance techniques that doctors have been using in hospitals for years, AirPhysio is an Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure (OPEP) device that is a simple, yet effective lung training tool that loosens and mobilises thick, stubborn mucus in the airways which make it hard to breathe.
Listed with the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), and compact and easy to use, the hand-held air physiotherapy mechanical device is drug and chemical free and is NOT an inhaler, nebuliser, spirometer, spray or puffer and does not require a prescription. With no batteries or refills, it is safe for anyone to use and causes no unpleasant side effects like headache, nausea or dizziness.
The award-winning Australian-made and owned lung expansion device facilitates naturally better breathing, resulting in improved quality of life. With continued use, you can enjoy breathing through BOTH nostrils at the same time and say goodbye to laboured breathing. It also has the potential to slow down the progression of respiratory conditions such as asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis and cystic fibrosis.
How this mucus clearing device works
As you exhale through the AirPhysio mucus clearance device, the pressure causes the stainless-steel ball to vibrate, creating a positive pressure in your lungs which helps to open up and clear semi-closed airways by loosening mucus, causing you to cough and expel it out naturally.
There are four types of AirPhysio
AirPhysio for Low Lung Capacity - designed for people affected by lung or respiratory conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, emphysema and RSV. It also aids in the recovery from pneumonia, colds and flu and is suitable for individuals with respiratory muscle weakness and low lung capacity due to advanced age.
AirPhysio for Average Lung Capacity - ideal for teenagers and adults who want to improve their day-to-day breathing and lung capacity.
AirPhysio for Children - designed to help children breathe easier so they can live, play and learn without being impacted by congested lungs. Suitable for ages five and up, it’s ideal for children who are affected by respiratory conditions such as asthma, the common cold, flu, pneumonia, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis and COPD.
AirPhysio for Sports - ideal for professional, elite and amateur sports people aged 13+, AirPhysio Sports is a drug-free performance enhancer and lung expansion device that will help you achieve personal best results and give you a competitive edge by optimising your lung capacity and increasing O2 and CO2 gas transfer to reduce recovery time.
