Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 We tried them in the beginning. I didn't find it that effective. It worked sometimes. I just love the vest!

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 interesting question. I was just thinking of the same thing yesterday as I got up off a back massage mat, I started coughing. I have a terrible sinus infection and have been bringing up mucus myself for a few days. I was thinking of trying my daughter on the massage mat at PT time to see if it helped at all......... cpt Has anybody ever used massagers for cpt? _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 , We use something like a massager, called a percussor. You can buy them from Grandma Bev. Our insurance would not pay for it, said manual cpt was just as good. But it was worth the $400. we paid. At the time we bought it I had a broken arm and couldn't do manual cpt. I couldn't say if it is as effective, since JC rarely coughs anyway, but it's better on the wrists and arms of the person doing to cpt. We just bought him a trampoline for his birthday too. We went ahead an bought a full size one with the net sides. I'm hoping that will be good for his lungs too. Angie P.

Good luck- keep up the good work Jenn ef reading " The Stand " by King Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
