@equanimous Arlo...So funny. I have a similar thought process about the vest....that it is helping on some level that I am unaware of. And if I return it my health will suffer. Then I come up for air and think...this is crazy to sit and get pounded twice a day for absolutely nothing. I'm glad I asked for other experiences as it makes me feel a bit saner. I sort of think it will be going back. Thanks, Arlo!

Allycatkate, I got Hill-rom about three weeks ago. I too weigh about 100 lbs. I tried on high, like dr. Prescribed, for 20 minutes. I got sick and my chest went into spasms. I put it on lowest. I tried everyday. Spasms got worse. I am now back in physical therapy and vest is going back. I do very well with
Postural drainage. I hope it stays that way. I can’t see where vest helped at all. But it did hurt already weak muscles. Cathleen
