POWERbreathe Breathing Training – How It Works

The POWERbreathe breathing trainer strengthens your breathing muscles using resistance training. Our breathing device is often referred to as a dumbbell for your diaphragm. Use the breathing trainer for 30 breaths twice a day and see the benefits within 4-6 weeks.

The Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) device is scientifically proven to reduce breathing fatigue and increase breathing stamina in a wide range of people. From patients with respiratory illness to elite athletes – anyone can benefit from our breathing exercise device.

How the POWERbreathe EMT device works

POWERbreathe has a range of expiratory muscle training (EMT) devices designed to improve vocal and musical strength, stability, endurance and power whilst improving your quality of life. Our EMT devices are available at different resistance levels to suit individual needs.

Used by Experts

POWERbreathe IMT is being used by leaders in their field

K5 IMT For Smokers

IMT with K5 may offer a valuable therapeutic approach for smokers suffering from lung impairment, particularly in nonpharmacological rehabilitation programs aimed at enhancing pulmonary function and reducing dyspnea.

KH2 Added To Pulmonary Rehab (PR)

KH2 IMT added to PR is a cost-effective alternative compared with PR for post-COVID-19 patients. This strategy may result in net cost savings and improvements in the quality-adjusted life years for these patients.

RMT Improved Quality Of Life (QoL)

RMT increases inspiratory & expiratory muscle strength, a reduction in dyspnea levels, and an increase in the distance covered in the 6MWT and improved QoL in post-covid patients.
