Respiratory Muscle Training has proven beneficial in some studies in patients with CF.
Especially in combination with exercise, RMT may increase your respiratory muscle strength, exercise tolerance, and oxygen uptake. In addition, RMT may reduce the frequency of exacerbations.
As RMT strengthens cough effectiveness and sputum expectoration, it may be specifically powerful in combination with an oscillatory device, which loosens mucus, to optimize the discharge of secretions.

Pulmonary Fibrosis (non-idiopathic)
Patients with Pulmonary Fibrosis will benefit from the Breather, as respiratory muscle weakness is associated with most cases of PF, albeit to a possibly lesser degree than with COPD. We recommend use of the standard pulmonary protocol.
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
The effectiveness of Respiratory Muscle Training has been shown in 2 studies comparing RMT with pulmonary rehabilitation or an exercise regime to exercise alone over 8 to 12 weeks. Additional benefits that can be attributed to RMT are improved ...
