Our POWERbreathe Story

POWERbreathe design and manufacture Inspiratory Muscle Trainers (IMT) and Expiratory Muscle Strength Trainers (EMST): handheld devices that strengthen the muscles you breathe with. Since 1997, we’ve built the technology and helped shape the research behind respiratory muscle training. Clinicians use POWERbreathe to support people living with COPD, asthma, Parkinson’s and stroke, and in pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation. Elite athletes train with it for stamina and performance, and everyday users for easier breathing and better wellbeing. We also offer a wider range of tools for better breathing.

What Our Customers Say

I started using POWERbreathe after the respiratory problems I developed following my chemical inhalation injury in 2019. I remain off the regular Symbicort use I previously relied on and have been able to continue running and training normally.
Last month I ordered the Smart Adaptor and EX1-HR. I’ve now started using the EX1-HR with ActiBreathe. My first expiratory strength test reached 200 cmH₂O, which the app puts within its average range. What I really like now is that I can put everything together. I have IMT, EMT, TYMEWear monitoring, running and rowing. Rather than just going by how I feel, I can actually start seeing what is happening with my breathing.
Nutrition has also been a big part of getting me where I am today. Being the Fuel Advisor for Hammer Nutrition Philippines gives me access to the right endurance fuel, recovery products and supplements. I’ve been using POWERbreathe for years now, so adding EMT and actually being able to measure it feels like another interesting chapter.

I went from a 3h07m marathoner in 2021 aged 52, to being unable to run more than a mile due to respiratory issues. I have been on multiple inhalers and medications and under the care of the hospital for over 4 years. After a poor 4h14m at this year's London Marathon, I decided to purchase this item. I have found that it has really helped me get air into my lungs whilst I am out on my runs. Whilst I wouldn't say I am cured, I definitely feel more able to keep moving and enjoy my running as a consequence. The lady I spoke to in customer service was so helpful, assisting me in choosing the correct product and even helping me get a discount on this item. Superb product at a great price.

Now in my 30s, I’ve had exercise-induced asthma since I was a kid. Any physical exertion, including running, jogging and climbing stairs, usually leaves me breathless, so I avoid exercising. When I heard about POWERbreathe and how it could help me breathe better, I was a bit sceptical. However, I’m happy I gave it a chance. I’ve been using it for a few months now, and it’s helped improve my breathing. I feel stronger and less out of breath, especially when cycling.

I've noticed the difference in my breathing and exercise level since using power breathe.

My father (aged 89) had a horrible bout of pneumonia, which took several months of antibiotics and hospitalisation to fix. Finally, he was free of infection, but I was told by all the medical professionals that the shadow on the bottom half of his left lung would never clear. Determined to prove everyone wrong (!), we set to work and he uses his Powerbreathe every morning, and is now just about to "grow out" of the light resistance and move on to the medium. A recent follow-up X-ray (three months after he came home from hospital), shows no shadow on the lung! The doctors were understandably amazed. And as an extra bonus he no longer snores!
