Precautions:

If you have any doubts about the suitability of POWERbreathe training, or you have a medical condition, please consult your doctor in the first instance.  

Inspiratory muscle training (breathing muscle training), such as training with POWERbreathe, is not recommended for patients with a history of spontaneous pneumothorax (a collapsed lung that was not due to traumatic injury e.g. broken rib), as it may lead to a recurrence of the condition. Following a traumatic pneumothorax and/or broken rib, POWERbreathe should not be used prior to full recovery.  

Inspiratory muscle training is not suitable for asthma patients who have low symptom perception and who suffer from frequent sever exacerbations.  

 Inspiratory muscle training is not suitable for anyone who has recently experienced a perforated eardrum.   

Anyone who is under the age of 16 should only use POWERbreathe with supervision from an adult.
