  • 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. :)

  • 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.

see all

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

  • 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.
