Hypervolt instead of a Vest or chest PT?
Has anyone tried using Hypervolt instead of a vest to improve chest clearance. i discovered it through a physical therapist for back pain, but the 'banging' movement of the tool reminded my of the chest physical therapy i received a while back. Scheduling chest therapy is time consuming and tough to fit in the day, so i had the crazy idea that this could work to the same effect. Wondering if anyone had tried?

Here is a link to a video that shows how it works to use it on the chest side

Jay,
Hello! The device looks interesting; I had not heard of it before. Does it assist you in bringing up mucus? The effectiveness of the devices vary from individual to individual. I am curious if any members have used this device?

So cool! When I was a child they would use something similar on me for my CPT at Children's Hospital. :)
