How does it work?
AirPhysio uses an all-natural process called Oscillating Positive Expiratory Pressure which is similar process to the cough mechanism. It combines the expanding diaphragm (from breathing out), along with a stainless steel ball bearing which creates a seal in a cone in the devise. This is similar to the closing of the vocal cords used in a cough mechanism for building pressure.
The difference is that the average cough only happens once every 2 seconds, AirPhysio creates a similar effect 15 to 35 times per second. This expands and contracts the airway walls at a faster rate, helping to shake and loosen the mucus, creating a more efficient and effective method of expelling the mucus and foreign particles from the lungs.

Frequently Bought Together
How to use Airphysio Lung Expansion Device?
- Take a deep breathe (abdominal breath) into your lungs and fill them completely,
- Hold your breathe for 2 to 3 seconds.
- Place the AirPhysio device into your mouth and exhale through the device at a reasonably fast but consistent pace for between 3-5 seconds until you empty your lungs. i.e. don’t try and blow too hard too quickly as this may cause you to over exert your lung muscles and leaving you feeling tight in the chest, so take it easy and don’t push too hard.
- Most people can get it oscillating without too much exertion, but some people struggle to start with. But once your lungs are at optimal lung capacity, you should be able to lift the ball bearing slightly off the cone and have it oscillating.
- Adjust the device to have the cap facing the ceiling and tilt it until you feel maximum vibrations within your chest; try to keep your cheeks stiff to help amplify the affect in your chest.
- After exhaling through the device, you may feel mucus accumulating near the top of your lungs or at the back of your throat; if so, initiate a cough to expel the mucus. If not, the mucus will continue working up to the throat and maybe swallowed as a normal process.
- Repeat steps 1 through 6 for approx. 2 times per minute for up to 5 minutes, taking two deep breaths in between each session to reduce the chance of feeling lightheaded.
Note: You can use AirPhysio after taking aerosol medication to improve the distribution and effectiveness of the medication. Do the following steps before initiation of exercise or training.
- Relax and assume proper posture and position.
- Slowly inhale beyond a normal breath, but do not fill the lungs completely.
- Hold breath for 2 to 3 seconds.
- Place AirPhysio in mouth, and exhale through AirPhysio at a reasonably fast but not too forceful speed, using abdominal breathing. Do not empty the lungs completely.
- Adjust tilt to feel maximum vibrations within the chest and keep cheeks stiff
- Repeat steps 2 through 4 for 5 to 10 breaths.
Caution:
- This exercise may make you feel lightheaded. This is normal due to the amount of carbon dioxide being exhaled.
- When you feel lightheaded, take a break and breathe normally until the lightheaded feeling passes. If you try to overexert and push yourself too far, there is a chance that you may pass out and lose consciousness.
Note: Clean AirPhysio after each therapy session and store in a clean, dry location.
How to clean?
- Grasp the clear cap with one hand and the body with the other hand
- Twist the cap 0.3” anti-clockwise (note: the cap may be stiff when twisting, (as to deter children from opening the device)
- Lift the clear cap from the body of the device and disassemble it for cleaning
- Pull clear cap away from blue body
