THE BREATHER │ Natural Breathing Exerciser Trainer For Drug-Free Respiratory Therapy │ Breathe Easier with Stronger Lungs │ Guided Mobile Training App Included

Easy to use if you don’t complicate it by trying to do too much it’s just very simple and straightforward. You breathe hold your breath and breathe out after you’ve got it on the right setting. It creates resistance and strengthens your lungs. If you follow the training schedule you’ll get great results

This is a simple device but it does help with deep breathing and expanding lungs. I have what the Dr says is "" air trapping " in lungs he suggested this. It's expensive for such a simple device. It does help breathing and stomach muscles if used regularly

I wanted a simple tool to strengthen my breathing and improve breath control during workouts. This delivers. Setup is straightforward and the resistance adjustment is easy to dial in. I started on a low setting and increased gradually as it got easier. What I like most is that it makes the training feel measurable. You can feel the difference between settings and track progress over time. The device feels sturdy, seals well, and is easy to clean. It is also compact, so it is easy to keep in a bag and actually use consistently. The guided training support is helpful for building a routine and staying consistent, especially at the beginning. It is not cheap, but it feels like a well made product that does what it claims when you use it regularly.

Excellent. Nothing to do except read two sentences of instruction, follow the instructions, (sit up straight and diaphragm breathe; google it, basically stationary chest and belly moves in and out), and begin improving your breathing. I noticed immediate (one use) better wind on carrying a heavy load of laundry. Recommended.

“If you can’t breathe, nothing else matters.” It’s true. I took it for granted until now. But my breathing was seriously affected by a recent serious infection, and I’d already felt like as I’ve aged I just can’t get enough air when conditioning at the gym. My doctor just put me on a maintenance and a rescue inhaler. I do not want to stay on an inhaler. So, I wanted to do whatever possible to improve my lung function. Admittedly, though, I was skeptical of the glowing reviews. But they’re right. I started on setting 3 for both inhale and exhale. Very quickly I noticed I was sleeping better. My sleep disturbance has fallen from 10-15% to 1-5% each night according to my sleep app. I’ve kept using it and in just a few sessions I was able to increase both resistances to 4 for the first two sets and 5 for the third - and feel even better now than before. There are several devices like this one available on here, but in my research, this one kept coming up. I’m sure there are cheaper devices. But weighed against the benefit and the minimal cost for this much difference in a healthcare device, this represents real value.

Easy to use. I feel I catch my breath easier after using.

Been using daily for about 8 months (though the app wouldn't know). I set it almost at the highest level (more resistance) and use the "Endurance" training plan - 30 breaths morning and evening with one day off per week. Overall, I've found the device to be helpful and I keep it right on my desk which encourages consistency. The app (iphone for me) is very balky. Every time I tap on the app icon it's an adventure. Sometimes it simply freezes at the main screen. Other times it will incorrectly show that I'm on a day off and it might stay that way for a week and/or until I change the training plan and start over. I've deleted and reinstalled the app but that hasn't helped. Perhaps most annoying is that when the app is (frequently) malfunctioning, I get emails asking me whether I'm okay and why I'm not being consistent in my training! In fact, I'm being very consistent with my training. The app really isn't much more than a stopwatch with a voice saying "inhale" and "exhale" so I have to wonder why it's so screwed up. I was able to contact the Help desk once early on after purchase, but not since. Easy to imagine they're overwhelmed! I would say that about half the time I simply use my phone's stopwatch and count the breaths. Not great for tracking my training but helpful for holding down the frustration and my blood pressure!

I'm 65 and have asthma and was coming off a pretty severe exacerbation following an upper respiratory infection that went off the rails for me. I ordered the device after reading some research on Respiratory Muscle Training. I received the Breather device, downloaded the app, and did the Phonation pretest, and I could sustain the tone for only 21 seconds. Then I used it morning and evening faithfully for the first month on the "Strengthening" plan -- 10 reps followed by a minute of times rest and 10 more reps, as guided by the app timer. At the end of the plan, I repeated the test and could sustain the tone for 33 seconds. Not long at all if you are a singer -- but for someone with respiratory compromise coming off an exacerbation, I was really proud of my improvement and can't wait to share it with my pulmonologist. I am now doing the "Endurance" plan, which requires me to do 30 breath cycles with no break. I lowered the resistance setting just a bit -- and it is a bit of a challenge, but I can do it. There is good video on the app to explain clearly how to use the device. I had not issues with the app at all. (I have an android phone.) It is extremely helpful for me to not only hear the prompt but to see the animation that reminds you to fully inflate and empty your lungs. One nice unexpected side effect is that my lower abs are much more engaged all the time now -- since using the device correctly requires me to really isolate those muscles that pull the diaphragm down to inflate my lungs. I feel like my lungs are stronger now and if I were to get another infection, I think my cough would be stronger and more efficient. If you have lung issues and your doctor is on board, I'd encourage you to consider trying the Breather.

Es muy buen producto, no es para los que apenas empiezan la rehabilitación pulmonar pero posteriormente puede ser una gran herramienta. Recomiendo que un profesional te enseñe a usarlo, esta muy bien la app pero no es suficiente, cuando tienes daño pulmonar o dolor es diferente. Se limpia súper bien, es fácil de usar y es resistente.

Ottimo prodotto

Product doesn't meet expectations. Knock-off product. Item was damage and open. Packing was awful.

Cofid

Product arrived a bit late but in good working condition. Still yet to test by my mom
