Speech-Language Pathology Evaluation & Therapy

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP) have specialty training in evaluating and treating breathing conditions. For certain individuals, respiratory muscle strength training (RMST) may be beneficial.  If that is the case for you, you will be instructed on which device to purchase.   Some people will require strengthening of muscles used for inhalation, some people need to target the muscles used for exhalation.  Some people will require both.   After purchase of your device, it will be calibrated by your clinician who will design an individualized treatment plan for you.
