Since 1980, we’ve been creating Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT) devices. We serve medical practitioners and their patients in the pulmonary and speech pathology industries. Our first device, The Breather, was the first of its kind.
It’s an RMT for both inspiratory and expiratory muscle training. It was invented by our Chief Clinical Officer, Peggy Nicholson, a former Respiratory Therapist.

The Science
The Breather RMT device combines inspiratory and expiratory muscle training, with demonstrated efficacy in improving speech and swallowing in patients with neuromuscular disease such as Parkinson’s (16). Furthermore, RMT in athletes and healthy individuals using The Breather led to improved respiratory functions, heart rate, peripheral muscle strength and exercise performance.
The Breather applies the method of resistive RMT, in contrast to the second widely used threshold method. Comparative evidence has reported similar overall efficacy of the two methods, with higher quality of life scores achieved by resistive RMT.
