GENTLY BREATHE IN AND OUT THROUGH YOUR NOSE. KEEP THE BREATHING SLOW AND TRY TO RELAX.USE THIS WHEN YOU FEEL SHORT OF BREATHE OR ANXIOUS. MOVE ON WHEN YOU FEEL READY

CF
IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT PERCUSSION & SHAKING ARCHIE...I WON'T BE TEACHING YOU HOW TO PLAY THE DRUMS TODAY THOUGH!THAT WON'T HELP DEFEAT MR BACTERIA!
CF
CF
PERCUSSION (OR CLAPPING) AND SHAKING IS DONE WHEN IN THE LYING AND SITTING POSITIONS AFTER BREATHING EXERCISES TO HELP MOVE MUCUS FURTHER UP YOUR CHEST.CLAPPING USES A CUPPED HAND SHAPE JUST LIKE THIS. IMAGINE YOU ARE TRYING TO HOLD WATER & TURN YOUR HAND UPSIDE DOWN
CF
SHAKING USES SMALL QUICK SHAKES TO MOVE THE MUCUS UP YOUR CHESTUSE A FLAT HAND FOR SHAKINGALWAYS HAVE A TOWEL ACROSS THE CHEST TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN
CF
MAKE SURE YOU USE CLAPPING AND SHAKING ACROSS ALL AREAS OF THE LUNG/CHEST RIGHT SIDE UPPER & LOWERLEFT SIDE UPPER & LOWERRIGHT SIDE FRONTLEFT SIDE FRONTRIGHT UPPERLEFT UPPERIF YOU FIND IT HARD TO REACH SOME AREAS OR COMPLETE THE ENTIRE CYCLE YOURSELF ASK YOUR MUM OR BROTHER FOR HELP
CF
FOR EACH AREA CLAP ON YOUR CHEST FOR 3-5 MINUTES.THEN AS YOU BREATHE OUT APPLY SHAKES TO THE SAME AREA FOR 5 BREATHS. THEN TRY TO COUGH. THE WHOLE CYCLE WILL LAST 20-40 MINUTES AND SHOULD BE DONE BOTH EARLY MORNING AND BEDTIME.
THE LAST STAGE TO DEFEATING MR BACTERIA IS TO USE YOUR INHALERS CORRECTLY. THEY CONTAIN DRUGS WHICH HELP OPEN UP YOUR AIRWAYS, THIN YOUR MUCUS AND DESTROY MR BACTERIA.. TAKE 2 PUFFS EACH TIME. SHAKE, SQUEEZE & SLOWLY BREATHE IN. HOLD EACH BREATH FOR 5 SECONDS THEN BREATHE OUT THROUGH YOUR MOUTH
CF

FOR THIS ONE BREATHE FAST AND FORCEFULLY. . HOLD YOUR BREATHE FOR 5 SECONDS & BREATHE OUT. THESE DRUGS ONLY WORK IF YOU USE YOUR INHALERS EVERY DAY ARCHIE, IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
CF
