I’m not clear on the postural thing. I have difficulty huffing up stuff after nebulizing. I’m confused as to how to do what you all are suggesting. Please give details if you would. I need help. Thank you Bon

Hello Bon, Postural drainage uses gravity to help mobilize the sputum upward making it easier to cough it out. Manuel percussion while doing this may help even more, followed by huff coughing. Here are some pictures showing the best way to position yourself depending on which lobes of your lungs are involved. https://www.physio-pedia.com/images/6/67/Postural_drainage.jpg Bill
