I totally agree! I have not been able to find a respiratory therapist to help me with airway clearing. I have watched videos but even they suggest getting the instruction in person from a professional. My local hospitals have only in patient therapy. I am in northern New Jersey any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Can you come in to NYC? I am treated at NYU-Langone's Bronchiectasis/Mac program by Dr Addrizzo-Harris & had 3 weeks of chest (respiratory) therapy, 2 half-hour sessions/week.
I think they take lots of insurances.

Hi Lenorj, I wanted to suggest looking for a Physical Therapist who specializes in pulmonary conditions. I go to John Hopkins for my Infectious Disease appointments and instead of respiratory therapists they have Physical Therapists who are also pulmonary clinical specialists. I did a quick search on the APTA website and found this PT who I believe would be the closest to you in northern NJ. Hope this helps!
