Thank you gentlemen for the great video. It's nice to see some good humor and smiles, "Just a spoonful of sugar..."
What about the Irish/tin/penny whistle? Or bansuri (side-blown bamboo flute from India/Nepal)? Neither will have the in/out ratio of a harmonica but maybe similar to the 2 in/4 out breathing...?

[Monikermon]

Is it just me or these two the cutest? They vibe so well with each other and they give excellent PT advice. I've been using these videos as therapy for a long time. And then the harmonica....love it!

Piano man !!
You know, I never put it together but seriously- I've played harmonica since age 4. Looking back- in these later years I have suffered from COPD, Bronchitis, etc, more and have not played in past few years.
This is encouraging !
Thanks for turnin the light 'on' guys !

Thank you so much for this, Brad & Bob! My 12 year-old daughter has severe asthma, and this video helped her through her worst. Helpful, easy, and hilarious!

Hey Brad and Bob. I watch your you tube channel a lot. It is very educational.

[WhatNow]

I have COPD & Emphysema and I started to play the Irish Tin Whistle. I'm finding the breathing technique is similar to what they are saying. I get to do my breathing exercise and have fun at it too.
Great Video !

Hi Bob & Brad!
You guys ARE the greatest physical therapists on the internet. 👍
A quick question : are these 3 breathing exercises helpful for Hypersensitivity pneumonitis too?
Are there any other exercises good for HP?

Hi Bob n Brad!

I watched this video to get some good exercise tips for my Cousin who has COPD. OMG, the harmonica playing is so funny. By the way, I had Panic Disorder and I learned from my clinical psychologist several breathing exercises that really made a huge difference in slowing relaxing chest muscles and slowing the rate of breathing. You can fend of panic attacks and prevent one from coming on with these excercises. Adrenalin, being the culprit, is a powerful force but it can be controlled. Breathing exercises are free and can be done anywhere. They really work.

[SuperRocketdog]

Great advice! I used to think that breathing and expanding your tummy was wrong way to breath! I have done this exercises for a week and I'm less breathless! Thank you👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😍💕🇬🇧

[jeaninowasso]

Love the harmonica idea! I teach breathing exercises a lot in acute care. I will definetly add the harmonica idea. Funny ending!

Thank you for these videos. Makes it very easy to digest...I thought maybe Alanis Morrisette but still a good exercise.
