POWERbreathe offers people with asthma a drug-free, clinically-proven method of reducing their symptoms, and putting them in control of their asthma. Research has shown that inspiratory muscle strength is improved, and breathlessness is reduced after as little as three weeks of POWERbreathe training. Longer term training produces additional benefits such as reductions in the use of medication, fewer absences from work/school, fewer GP and hospital visits, and improved quality of life. POWERbreathe is also helpful for other conditions in which breathlessness limits physical activity or quality of life, especially emphysema, chronic bronchitis and heart failure.
Good stuff!!!
