  • Vargasvan, I will do my best to get another video on here soon It is keeping your hands cupped like you are holding water in them. You want to hear a loud POP, not a slap. :)

  • Hi Michelle! Could you please do another video only showing how to do the CPT technique?

  • Michelle, I have been looking everywhere for the portable wedge mat you use for CF cpt. Is it one single mat or 3 individual pieces that you use? Please, let me know where can I order it? Thank you so much for this video!

  • @sd41199 You can find the mats at," Age In Reverse" .com

    They are one mat not in pieces. I recommend the plastic ones not the cloth as you can keep them cleaner.

  • I'm a female, 52 & was diagnosed w/ asthma at age 44. Previous smoker. I have Bronchopneumonia right now. I'm 3 days into my medicine & I still have congestion. Would using these chest therapy techniques be helpful to me for my congestion? Thank you!

  • @UniquelyGeeky I am so sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I have no idea how to use a computer and I had forgotton how to log in to here.

    But, yes, CPT is very helpful for pneumonia. Always check with your Dr, first. I hope you are feeling better! :)

  • chowmikki, you are right. It does work for Bronchiectasis. Thanks.

  • Great video. You may want to add that this therapy also works for those with Bronchiectasis.

  • My son is 3 years old with cystic fibrosis. We have been going to cf clinics since he was a month old and have never been taught to do proper theray until we met Michelle. We have had other respiratory therapists who were not properly trained and would have never known the difference if it weren't for her. She is absolutely AMAZING and one in a million because she actually cares about life. We would highly recommend her if she's in your area.

  • Thanks for your video. It was helpful. I know mine was novice and have since found better techniques, including doing ten minutes of 3% hypertonic saline nebulizer beforehand to loosen up the mucus. The daily saline also prevents infections, since bacteria does not like to grow in salt. I also might add that I only have bronchiectasis, and not cystic fibrosis. I just get mucus in where there's smooth scar tissue. So the clearance is the main objective.

  • Excellent demonstration of what CPT needs to be like. It is so important to watch this and compare to the others on this site. This is the CPT that needs to be taught around the country. SOOOO many patients would have better quality of life!

    It makes me sad having CF myself that there is so much confusion about what qualifies as a "GOOD" therapy. Check this out and pay attention to the difference and spread the word. GOD Bless!

  • TamirasEx,

    This is my goal in life to teach my technique to all who cares for CF patients. If you can help me get this technique out to everyone, please let me know. :)

  • My son is on this video and Michelle's therapy is the greatest!! His pft tests just came back normal. We wouldn't do it any other way!!!  Thank you Michelle ox

  • A fantastic new technique from such a compassionate South Florida therapist.......please pass this video on to those who need it !!!!!

  • This video is so much better than most. The CPT I've see is nowhere nearly as strong and effective as this technique. I'm depressed by what passes for good CPT. How can we make this style the new standard??

  • Very good technique! It appears to work very well for your patients. Thanks for posting the correct way to do CPT.
