A major cause of breathlessness is weakness of your breathing muscles, but with Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT), you can strengthen them again. Breathing muscle weakness is common in COPD, heart failure, and other medical conditions. It can also be down to advancing age or lifestyle. POWERbreathe Inspiratory Muscle Trainers are drug-free and evidence based for use in medical conditions where inspiratory weakness is inherent. They are scientifically proven to increase inspiratory muscle strength by around 34%, reduce breathlessness and improve quality of life. People with conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), spinal cord injury and stroke will benefit from Expiratory Muscle Training (EMT) with the POWERbreathe EX1 devices.
