The
Optimal Diaphragm Strengthener
The "DS" ..

A very special breathing resistance/training device invented by a wind instrument player to strengthen your primary breathing muscle which  needs exercise just like any other muscle.
In Mike's opinion it is much more sensitive and effective then all the other resistance devices and MUST be used with the 176 DVD to optimize breathing development and to help strengthen breath support.

Breathing Resistance Devices
Our Breathing Tests statistics show us that most people either under-breathe or over-breathe. Most breathing resistance devices in the marketplace can do some good because they make you breathe more (overbreathe). 
They can also do some bad in that they too often allow/cause  excessive inhale or exhale force that invites breathing restrictions as well as possible exacerbate hyperventilation issues.. You may or may not get better conditioning but at the expense of volume, ease and relaxation.  powerbreathe

Our breathing resistance trainer model was invented by a wind instrument player and so it is more gentle and self limiting than the others so overtraining is eliminated. We use it in conjunction with the 176 Video because the techniques in the video offset the tensions caused by the DS. Kind of like getting a massage after a workout, the 176 releases tensions that the DS caused during the "workout". The 176 can achieve great results by itself without help of the DS. In in my opinion the DS must have the 176 to balance out the results of the forcing in out breathing resistance training that the DS requires.

I have not published a picture of the device because the man we get them from also sells them worldwide and does know about all the tension issue. I am afraid to show the picture as it might hurt his business and so I rely on your trusting me in this regard knowing I also have a money back guarantee.

To Recapitulate
The 176 helps expand the rib cage and to rebalance the upper and lower sympathetic parasympathetic hemispheres of the breathing mechanics. The DS works in conjunction with the 176 DVD/video to properly fill the space that the 176 process creates as well as properly work the diaphragm.  That is why we require that people combine our trainer/diaphragm strengthener together with the 176 Fundamentals of Breathing Development Program  sports breather

New York - People with heart failure and who have difficulty breathing may benefit by training the muscles involved in breathing, according to Brazilian researchers.

The Threshold Inspiratory Muscle Trainer applies a load when you breathe in, so training the muscles to become stronger.

Jorge Ribeiro and his medical colleagues randomly assigned 32 patients to either a 12-week home-based programme using the device with an inspiratory load maintained at 30% of maximal inspiratory pressure, or to a placebo programme in which the participants had no inspiratory load.

Muscle training resulted in a 115 percent improvement in maximal inspiratory pressure, and a 17 percent increase in peak oxygen uptake.

Also, in a test measuring how far the subjects were able to walk in six minutes, the distance increased from an average of 449 metres to 550m.
They also experienced improvement in quality of life scores.

Although the training was not continued beyond 12 weeks, part of the effect on maximal inspiratory pressure and on quality of life was still maintained after a year.

"Together with the observations from other small trials," Ribeiro said, "inspiratory muscle training is a safe intervention for the management of patients with chronic heart failure, particularly those with weakness in inspiratory muscles."

The research team says it might be worth screening heart failure patients for weaknesses in their breathing muscles. - Reuters

The DS is similar to The Threshold Inspiratory Muscle Trainer and we believe superior due to more sensitivity in the maximum force of inhale it allows.
