<p class="msonormal">I have a 4 ½ year old daughter which we do
manual chest physio 2 times daily when healthy and 4 to 6 times
daily when ill.  My wife has developed repetitive strain
injuries in both wrists and my hands aren't so hot either. 
Thinking of using a percussor for some of the therapies (so long as
she is healthy) to give a chance for our injuries to heal. 
Can anyone recommend a percussor?  Are there any to stay away
from?

Ask your doctor about a percussor...they can or should be able to recommend one thats really good...some arent so hot. The newer precussors (i had one over 10 years ago and it felt like a jack hammer) are really nice...to the point of getting a massage....but they do beat/vibrate...do not hurt at all.....they even come with child size percussor ends that are really soft. You should be able to use them all the time..sick or healthy. They are much easier...some people preffer them to hands. Everyone has their own preferance with cpt...but I say try the percussor and if it works well for her continue using it.

I recently bought this one from Sharper Image:

This one is a tad heavy actually, but I really like it. It has a range of different massage patterns, strengths and you have a heat option which helps the back muscles relax. There are also different end attachements you can interchange which is nice for when your not feeling so well. There are a lot of different kinds out there. I also looked into getting one those full body massage chairs to do the trick, but I didn't feel it was direct enough to my lungs. Anyways, I like this one.

I have a Flimm Fighter percussor too they should be still avalibale. I just got a new one about 7 months ago, they've been around of awhile now. But I think you should probably talk to your childs CF Doctor. he will know whats best for your child. I only say this because I remember having a similar machine to the flimm fighter percussor when I was a child and I hated it (this is going back like 20 years at least though) I thought it hurt when my parents used it on me, but technology has change alot since then and they probably have a machine now like a percssor for Children. Thats why I say talk to your childs Doctor he should know the best thing for your child, and if you live where it is covered they will just probably supply you with what you need anyway, thats how I got mine. I hope I help you out a little, good luck with everything. Or and I don't know where you live but maybe you can get the Vest for your child, but some place you have to buy them, I think the vest comes in all sizes, maybe that could be another option for your family.
