Glossopharyngeal Breathing

Glossopharyngeal breathing (GPB) is often known as “frog breathing”. You use your mouth and throat muscles as a pump to force air into the lungs. GPB is a technique to help you breathe or clear mucus from your lungs. GPB may be helpful if you have a neuromuscular disease or spinal cord injury with weak breathing muscles.
