What Is POWERbreathe Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST)?
POWERbreathe EMST breathing devices use expiratory pressure threshold loading to exercise the expiratory muscles. This is also the method of breathing training that is used in the POWERbreathe Medic Inspiratory Muscle Training (IMT) device that is approved for prescription in the UK by the NHS. It is also the most widely studied type of breathing training and now the most used.
The POWERbreathe EX1-Medic features an internal, precisely calibrated, adjustable spring that provides the breathing load to the expiratory muscles.
