- Bob and Brad,
the two most famous physical therapists on the internet.
- Hi folks.
I'm Bob Schrupp physical therapist,
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist
- because we are most famous physical therapists
on the internet,
- in our opinion of course, Bob
- are you tired of being short of breath?
Not getting enough air? Try this.
That's really a discouraging thing.
Isn't it, Brad?
Kind of a scary thing.
Actually, when you, when you can't get enough air
we have patients like that, right?
- Yeah. It's scary.
It really gets a person anxious
and which even multiplies,
- makes it even worse.
- Yeah. So anything you can do to make this better
just greatly improve someone's life in that condition.
- And we're gonna talk about that.
But before we do, if you are new to our channel
please take a second to subscribe to us.
We provide videos, how to stay healthy, fit, pain free
and we're gonna give you plenty of air.
Also, You're gonna wanna go
to the Facebook and like us, Bob and Brad.
Because once again we are, we're giving away stuff
by the truck load Brad all this last month.
And maybe a couple weeks before that, this week again
we're giving away a mattress
the final mattress we're giving away from sleep ovation.
- This is the third one.
- This is the third one you're gonna have to, you know
go in and sign up and put your name and email.
If you've already signed up for a mattress before
like within the last couple weeks
you don't need to sign up again already.
- Your name is in the kitty.
- Yeah. You're golden baby.
- Yep. All right.
So respiratory muscle weakness is one
of the main reasons you become short
of breath with physical activity.
And as we said, it's very scary.
It could be an anxiety producing and it start, you know
you find out after a while it starts to alter your life.
- Oh, I mean, sure.
- You know, you don't go to get the mail anymore.
You don't play with your grandchildren.
You don't play with your dog.
You don't walk your dog.
- Right. So everything you're talking about is as oftentimes
in the elderly, it could be someone else younger.
If they have some kind of disease.
- Well there, we're talking about like COPD, heart failure,
sleep apnea, asthma, well, asthma could affect any age.
- Well, sure.
- But what you found
is you can actually improve your breathing
with just this simple little exercise
and you do need a device.
This is called the breather, but you can actually,
respiratory muscles can be built
up just like you can build up any muscle.
- Right? I mean, it's a muscle.
- Aren't you going to use it?
- So if you wanna strengthen your bicep muscle
we'll start out with doing these
and it'll do specific repetitions.
- Yeah. He's got a lighter weight, doesn't he?
- Right. So I'm gonna do 10 repetitions.
Okay. And I'll, I'll do that every day and maybe take a day
or two off during week, a typical strengthening exercise.
And then as you get stronger
you increase the resistance.
So now I'm up to my 10 pounds and then the muscle develops
and it becomes more efficient and everything about it works.
And that's the same thing with breathing your diaphragm.
It's a different type of muscle than your
like your biceps are those types of muscles
but you can still develop it and get it stronger.
- And that's where the breather comes
in because you can actually strengthen the muscles,
the inspiratory muscles and the expiratory muscles.
So it's got the little settings here.
So for inhale, you can go one through six
the amount of resistance
And it says right here, exhale
and you can go one through five.
- You can clearly feel it when you use it
as we'll demonstrate.
But that resistance is no difference
than the resistance to use for strengthening your arm.
- Right So what they consider one repetition is
when you breathe in once and breathe out once.
That's one rep.
They want you to do 10 reps.
Twice a day.
So this we're talking about minutes a day, Brad.
- Right.
- To strengthen your breathing
give you a better quality of life.
These aren't huge changes and what's nice about this,
You can do this while seated.
You can do this even if you were wearing oxygen
if you have a nasal cannula on.
You can still do it.
Now, they have really good videos
on just demonstrating these.
we're just gonna show it briefly here.
- You mean?
- Yeah. They have, on their website,
they have excellent videos on how to use these.
- Right. Very professional
- Very professional.
- Unlike ours.
So, I mean, we're gonna recommend
that you go over there to look at those to on
on how to use it.
Cuz they're, they' do a lot.
I know they want you to have really good posture.
And they're gonna teach you to
use a diaphragm when you breathe in.
You get diaphragmatic breathing.
And you don't wanna puff your cheeks.`
So, just couple seconds in couple seconds out,
Are you gonna do a side view, Brad?
- Yeah. I'll give the profile.
My right side is my best side.
I believe.
- Yeah. It's your back side is here.
See you leave.
- Let's carry on.
- All right. Let's carry on.
All right.
Ready? We're gonna try to inhale and exhale.
So we bring it around.
- You got good posture?
- I thought I did.
I was just - for the viewers
- watch his stomach go out when he breathes in.
So what could be easier than that?
So this was developed by a respiratory therapist.
I mean she had 30 some years of experience.
This is actually, they sold over a million
of these and now they've redesigned it slightly, I believe.
And so it's even better.
So it's the number one, respiratory strengthener
respiratory muscle strengthener are on the market.
So you're going, we're going with quality here.
- Yeah, it is.
- If you use the link below, you're gonna get 20% off.
- Oh, 20%

This is drug free.
This is also, I think enhances.
If you have to use an inhaler type drug
it actually enhances the effects of it.
- Okay. So yeah.
- So I think that's, you know
I think we've said enough, Brad, you know
if you are having some trouble breathing
they're actually looking at this
for athletes even too, believe it or not.
- Oh, so right.
- There's a lot of different uses
for it in the world of breathing.
- Yeah. And you know, it's just such a nice product.
You're not gonna share it with another person.
It cleans really easily.
- Well, good point, Brad, actually.
- Yeah. And they do want you to clean it quite often.
Almost a daily basis.
- Right. It's very simple the way you do it
the soap and water.
- And again, they got videos on that too, so yeah.
All right.
- Very good
- "danka" for watching.
- Where'd that come from?
- Right? I thought I'd throw little German in.
