i do 30 mins 2x per day. frequencies of 14, 15, 16, 17, 19 and an extra 5 mins of 20 if i need it.
i increase the pressure as i increase the frequency. at 14 the pressure is at 4, then 5, and so on.
with each frequency i stop and do 3 spits. my goal is 1/4 cup of mucus per therapy.

Interesting letteer from Warwick. It sounds like some of you switch your frequency as you use the vest. Do any of you release a hose and take deep breaths occassionally? I have just been keeping it at one frequency throughout my time and no releasing of hoses. I'll have to try switching it up. I always thought that higher frequency was better. But it sounds like high and low frequencies both have benefits. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif" border="0">
