PEP Therapy

PEP therapy, or Positive Expiratory Pressure therapy, is a treatment used primarily for individuals with respiratory conditions. It involves using a device that creates resistance when you exhale, which helps keep airways open and encourages better lung function. This technique aids in clearing mucus from the lungs, reduces shortness of breath, and improves overall breathing efficiency. PEP therapy is commonly used in conditions like cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and it can be performed at home or in clinical settings.
