In your opinion which is better to do when sick? My son has the vest but sometimes I think he gets up more junk when I do manual chest pt. He currently has a junky sounding cough and I can't ever decide which one to do?

Well it'll change depending on who you ask. But me personally, I prefer manual PT. I've tried the Vest (two different times, two different vests -- one about 9 years ago, and one this year) and I hated it. I don't have or use one.

My fiance beats me for half an hour every night, and imo, it's the better way to go. Obviously, it's not convenient for everyone to be able to do that. So the Vest is certainly practical. But if he's sounding crappier, and you have the time, I'd say beat him.

DS has the vest; however, we still beat him in the mornings before he wakes up or this past weekend when he'd fall asleep before his last vest treatment of the day. One of his doctors has always told us that if DS gets a cough or wheezes -- to "beat that cough out of him", so we'll increase treatments, throw in another CPT treatment in the middle of night if need be.

Do what works best for you and him.

I believe manual CPT is best. I prefer it, but my life & location dont easily allow it so I rely on the vest for maintenance and manual for hospital admits.

One of the main reasons I prefer Manual CPT is that no matter how good the vest might be or what brand you use, the CPT can be done in one particular area in addition to the complete treatment.

Of course making sure its done properly is essential also.
