How hard are the vibrations? Would it help loosen chest congestion?

I sent mine back. It made my back hurt worse than it was prior to using it. Don't know about chest congestion. The vibrations are strong on high and a little milder on low. Hope this helps

It has a decent vibration but I'm not sure if it would help loosen congestion

Vibrations are mild. No it would not be good for loosening chest congestion. Medications are better.

No, it is a low-med vibration; I would try a shiatsu massager that is also available from amazon.

It has two vibration levels, the first being slow and the second being fast and it's quite powerful so it might just do the job.

It has a nice level of vibration but I don't think it would be intense enough for chest congestion.

This is a percussion massager and as such may be a bit too hard on the head. Recommend a kneading massager.

Not so much, I admit it depends heavily on your arm strength but I didn't have any trouble. If you feel too heavy you can squeeze some water anyway.

This device is wonderful for an infant for sucking out loose mucus, since the child is unable to "blow his nose." However, if you have a sinus-clogging cold (as I have right now), I can't imagine it being powerful enough to work on clogged sinuses. Sorry. Right now I wish there were such a device!

This product is immediate release and has been helpful with congestion. I have the beginnings of COPD, and this helps to open my airways. Hope these remarks were helpful.

I think it would work to strain lumps unless they are really small lumps.i hope that helps.

Yes, it does a good job. To get the most accurate reading, I suggest you get the new and improved chest strap as sold on the Amazon site. Is well worth the $18.

I don't think it would be a good substitute for a machine that one uses for albuterol treatments. I used to need one of those machines and no, I don't think it would work nearly as well as the nebulizer, which delivers medication to a mouthpiece and more directly in to the lungs. This is more meant to be something like the effect you get from showering when you have a cold. It loosens your sinuses and moisturizes them and helps your lungs if you breathe deeply. It's meant more for a cold or sinusitis, not asthma or severe allergies or pneumonia which necessitate a nebulizer. I eventually bought my own nebulizer when I was badly afflicted with allergies, and there is no way this machine would have been as effective for helping me as the nebulizer was.

It will definitely help to absorb sound and some vibrations. I cannot speak to all vibrations. I purchased these interlocking mats for similar reasons , i.e., not wanting to wake up my downstairs neighbor during my P90X3 workouts.

Yes: 1) regular, 2) lower vibration, and 3) lower vibration with a pulse every second or so- silly setting called "gum massage." I really like mine, and it is a much better deal than the one made by Phillips.

OMG! It is wonderful for coughs and congested chests! It worked for me overnight; immediately.I melted one teaspoon on my tongue in the morning and melted another teaspoon on my tonguebefore bed. A few times I used as a sweetner in tea. Although it worked immediately, I continuedto do it daily. They don't give you much in the jar. I really really really wish I could continue to buy it.You will be pleased. It will not be overkill.

It works as far as breathing goes. You won't struggle for air, but it isn't made to work like a genuine respirator.

well I don't think that it has vibration. therefore without vibration you wont feel movement. I do not feel any movement with this mattress. however, this mattress only last 6months before it went flat. it lasts longer than other brands, but not as comfortable as others. so you must weigh the length of time the mattress stays inflated with the not as comfortable as others.

I only use it for sinus problems, so I can't really tell you how it would help you. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

Not really - the backpressure is really low. This one will be significantly harder to learn circular breathing with.

Think of the vibration as the lowest setting. No shock whatsoever. Just like your phone vibrating. I'll use it as my first "tug". If no immediate response, I'll give a shock stim on very low level. I think it's a very helpful feature. I thought the DVD was simple and to the point. I had done some training with my older dog years ago, and this DVD brought that all back to me and showed how to transition properly to the E Collar.Good luck!

I have had limited lung capacity and was given this in the hospital. I did not find a forceful expiration flow. However I used it at least 6 out of 7 days a week and noticed my lung intake and excitation had improved as long as I used it. Got lazy using it when feeling well.Now that I am getting older I need to use whatever products I can use all items I can to maintain what I have.
