There are no safety reasons for preventing young children (above 7 years of age) from using POWERbreathe. However the following factors may affect their ability to use the device effectively: 

  • They must be able to fit the mouthpiece in their mouth. The POWERbreathe Plus mouthpiece is smaller and therefore more suited to children 
  • They must be old enough to understand how to effectively perform the breathing exercises 
  • They must have the motivation themselves or the parental encouragement to ensure that they continue to perform the exercises 
  • They should only use POWERbreathe under the supervision of an adult
