Did you know that they make these wonderful little meditation breathing necklaces. Add these necklaces to your meditation routine while laying down on your side to combine ELTGOL therapy with your meditation practice. Get airway clearance in at the same time as your self care. What could be more fun and relaxing. Meditation necklaces have also been shown to relive anxiety. Which can come in handy to combat breathlessness as well. And they can be worn around your neck ready for use anywhere, anytime. Of course be sure to visit your clinic’s licensed respiratory therapist or your clinic’s contracted licensed respiratory therapy provider for training before attempting ELTGOL therapy.

There are tons of airway clearance techniques and tons of outside the box ideas as well. Experiment today and put the fun back into your life. Remember airway hygiene is an important part of primary ciliary dyskinesia care. If you’re struggling to get your child engaged with their airway clearance techniques try turning airway clearance into play, it could help lessen the burden of persuading your child to do their treatments. If you’re an adult, remember that the best airway clearance technique for you is the one that you will actually do.
