A valuable reminder about the proper method. It's easy to get a bit lazy with things you frequently do, or take shortcuts. Slow down a bit and get it right.

We all get tired of doing these daily tasks but must be reminded of its benefits.

I am a visual learner- I like to review step and step directions to make sure I take my time and do the huff cough & breathing exercises correctly. :)

Expect to expectorate( for most people ) if we do airway clearance and huff coughs correctly.

I found an App in Google Play - autogenic drainage. I've only tried it the once (so far), but it walks you through what is essentially Active Cycle of Breathing / Airway Clearance. It seems as if it may be useful.
