Our comprehensive and unique CLEARER CHEST
PROGRAMME manages CHEST CLEARANCE through:

 

·                 AUTOGENIC DRAINAGE
* A very effective breathing technique using
   breathing in different parts of your lungs
   to clear secretions.
*A gentle technique which reduces irritation of the air
   ways.
*A technique that can be used anywhere.

 

·                 OSCILLATING PEP AND PEP
*PEP or Positive Expiratory Pressure is a
  device which provides resistance against
  your breath out and so allows your
  secretions to move through your air  ways.
*Oscillating PEP combines this with a
  vibration or oscillation which goes into
  your chest to help shake the secretions.
  The two devices used are the Flutter ™
  or Acapella ™ devices.

 

·                 OTHER CLEARANCE TECHNIQUES
  include percussion and vibrations,
  positioning drainage and other breathing
techniques.
