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.:

I'll watch the video; thank you very much!

I've watched the youtube video you recommended, learned a lot, and don't understand why not one single doctor over the past 13 years has recommended airway clearance!! The breathing exercises seem important. I'm really impressed with the stats regarding nebulized hypertonic saline and the resulting decrease, for many people, in bacterial load. Can you, or others, recommend a portable nebulizer brand? Safe to buy from Amazon? Or? And, how much saline does one typically go through when using the nebulizer once a day? Thank you very much for your help!
