"What's your favorite device?" I'm asked this a LOT.
It's not about choosing favorites, though there are some I prefer in my practice based on:
🔸 evidence behind the device, or similar devices
🔸 inspiratory vs expiratory needs of the patient
🔸 availability in my country
🔸 affordability for my patient, if they're paying
So when you're choosing a device, I want you to make sure you're thinking about all of these variables, too.

SLPs, PTs, OTs, and RTs all need to know about this. Share this with someone who needs to see it!
Yes, respiratory muscle training can be performed after heart and lung surgeries-- but this isn't a blanket "go ahead and do it with everyone".
We have to select the right patients, work closely with the care team, and understand protocols, safety, and research like the back of our hands.
The ONLY live Breathehab course this year is coming up THIS Saturday, April 25, in Raleigh NC. Join me and learn how to use RMT with your patients!

Stressed about memorizing lab values? Here's your permission slip 📜 to stop the stress.
Whether you're an SLP or student, lab values are great to understand-- they help inform our care, especially in inpatient settings-- but memorizing them isn't necessary.

Many clinicians wonder feel uncertain whether respiratory muscle training (RMT) is suitable for acute care & ICU patients.
The answer is a resounding YES... when properly indicated & safe.
Your patient might be a candidate if they:
✅ are ready for active therapy
✅ have impairments within your scope of practice
✅ demonstrate adequate medical stability
Clinical applications in acute care might look like trach/vent liberation, communication, cough strengthening, and functional stability.
Safety first-- proper training in RMT protocols, safety, and appropriate device selection is absolutely essential.

Have you ever thought about what flowers and SLPs have in common?
Every spring, as flowers start coming to life, I think about the SLP journey. I love watching my bearded irises take bloom, and especially love that they don't all bloom at once -- just like us.
Buds can represent new grads, but they can also be seasoned SLPs learning something new. Or even transitioning to a new setting (or different career entirely).
And we can repeat this cycle many times throughout our career-- not just early on.
What do you think?

TL;DR: clinicians can't "hack" RMT devices, but you can adjust protocols and training loads within reason.

The hardest part of using respiratory muscle training (RMT/RMST) is not necessarily how much we need to know, but understanding which information, risk factors, or interventions to apply when.
Deciding between EMST & IMST, navigating contraindications, and choosing the right device requires us to:
✅ have a strong foundation in RMT,
✅ understand which functional impairments may benefit from RMT, and
✅ know how to actually apply it to our scope of practice.
Breathehab LIVE is designed to develop these skills-- whether you’re an SLP, PT, OT, or RT.
Sign up for the April 25th course to join your rehab colleagues for a transformative day of learning and lots of “aha!” moments!
Register at breathehab.com/courses/raleigh-2026 by April 23rd. Seats are limited.
