I had never heard of saline airway clearance or huff coughing until joining this group a few days ago. (I was dx'd in January, 2012.) Exercise often causes some productive coughing afterwards, sometimes a lot; I guess that's been my airway clearance program.

For me, it's the best airway clearance - it fits in my life, and I get my heartrate up and steps in - triple play! I just have to remind my Yoga group when I step away to cough that I'm not going to infect them with anything. I also find a lot of bending/reaching in the house or garden can have the same effect.

Here is a great (but long) Webinar on airway clearance and why, from one of the bronchectasis experts.:
