*Individual results may vary.
My breathing has improved, my overall health has improved, and my coughing has almost completely subsided. I can do more, I go to church and I don’t interrupt the services with coughing."
Kathy G., FL, bronchiectasis
I’d been coughing nonstop [and] exhausted. That’s changed since I’ve been using the InCourage system. Now I can take a deep breath and enjoy it—actually smell a flower and not just look at it.”
Sherry L., CA., bronchiectasis
The year before [my husband] got [the InCourage system], he was in the hospital three times. Since he received it, he has not been to the hospital. The InCourage system paid for itself the first year he had it.”
Sonja B., NC., bronchiectasis
I was really sick, coughing up and choking on my phlegm. After two days [of using the InCourage system] I was no longer coughing, I was able to breathe without any problem, with clear lungs.”
Susan S., CA., bronchiectasis
I’ve been very pleased with the therapy as there’s a noticeable difference in the way I feel. In fact, because the therapy is working, I now have energy to cut the grass.”

Angie W., TX
Mother of child with cystic fibrosis
“We chose RespirTech due to the triangular wave form difference. The hoses attached and locked, [and] when you’re keeping up with an energetic 15-month-old, the locks were a necessity.”
Kylee A.
Mother of child with cystic fibrosis
“This has been a night and day difference from [a competitor’s vest]. Thank you for great customer service, and a less stressful experience and the colorful well-fit vest.”
Megan N., NJ.
Parent of child with cystic fibrosis
“Aidan was among the first users of the InCourage vest, fourteen years ago. He has used the vest daily and it has helped his lungs stay in awesome shape. We attribute a lot of it to his diligence with the InCourage system, 365 days a year.”
[My daughter] has been using the [InCourage comfort] vest for about seven years. She has only been hospitalized four times in her life.* She is thirteen now. Thank you for this technology."
Eric H., AL, father of child with cystic fibrosis
The InCourage system is [simple] to use, [easy] to transport and has a protocol built in that has been very effective. I highly recommend the InCourage system."
Jennifer, F., CA, mother of children with cystic fibrosis
[She] has done over 1,000 hours of [InCourage system] breathing treatments dedicated to keeping healthy lungs. All of these treatments help our little girl reduce the amount of mucus within her lungs allowing easier breathing."

Thank you so much! We are still using our InCourage [comfort] vest every single day, twice a day! The InCourage [system] has helped her so much with mucus clearance! Olivia is now two and full of sass!"
Leah F., FL., respiratory therapist and parent of child with cystic fibrosis
‘Dynamic’ is the word I use to describe the InCourage system. Small, very light, and packs easily in a rolling travel bag. Being able to throw the vest in the washing machine and not have to worry about durability is vital."
Lisa W., SC., mother of child with cystic fibrosis
My daughter was diagnosed with CF at 2.5 weeks old. I had a hard time doing CPT on her before we got the [InCourage comfort] vest. It’s amazing how this can help clear the lungs of mucus and make [her] breathe so much better."
