Exercises That Are Proven to Cure Sleep Apnea - Sleep Apnea Exercise Download

If you’re reading this website, you’ve probably tried every sleep apnea treatment under the sun…but your sleep apnea is as bad as ever.

Despite trying all sorts of treatments, you still have sleep apnea – and it’s making your health worse by the week.


The fact is, there ARE sleep apnea treatments that don’t involve putting equipment on your face, going under the knife, or other drastic measures.

These treatments are proven to cure (or significantly reduce) sleep apnea – but many doctors don’t recommend them

Simply put, many doctors don’t know about these treatments. They aren’t trained in medical school on the range of sleep apnea treatments available today. So they prescribe CPAP as a “knee-jerk” solution.

Now, don’t get me wrong – CPAP can be a highly effective treatment for sleep apnea. But there are so many drawbacks to CPAP that it’s just not worth it for many people.

And that’s not to mention the biggest drawback of CPAP: you’re sleeping with a mask, tube, and other equipment attached to your body!

How natural is that? Not very, in my opinion – and the opinion of thousands of people who subscribe to my website, www.ApneaTreatmentGuide.com

But here’s the good news: there ARE sleep apnea treatments that are completely natural; that don’t require expensive and uncomfortable equipment; that can be done in your own home; and that are proven by scientific studies to cure sleep apnea.

I have been planning to write to you for several weeks. I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea last December, and endured six weeks of CPAP treatment that provided no relief. Then I purchased your piece about alternative treatments. I can now say that I have been cured. Thank you! Thank you! thank you! I no longer have to endure the dreaded CPAP mask, and can now sleep as a normal human being.

I have regained my ability to sleep solely by using your recommended breathing exercises. (I was going to try acupuncture next, but fortunately didn’t have to pay for that option.)

Thank you for sending me the initial draft of your ebook/guide. I’ve had a good read and must admit it’s certainly a guide to be proud of.

The writing ‘voice’ is friendly and/ informative without being condescending, the whole guide has a positive thread running through it and no negativity which is good. Love the conclusion and especially like the point of telling people they’re not alone with their OSA, very important.

There are helpful references throughout and the case studies are a great human touch addition……by the way I recognise these people so I’m guessing I’ve seen them somewhere along the way!

Really like the images and illustrations…..laughed at the woman with her mouth taped shut, adds humour but doesn’t undermine the serious issue of OSA. Personally I really like it and actually wouldn’t alter anything. The balance is spot on perfect…..relaxed but helpful.

Since starting Apnea Treatment Guide in 2008, I’ve spent hundreds of hours researching apnea treatments that DON’T involve CPAP. That’s led me to discover many fascinating treatments that are proven for sleep apnea.

I’ll give you a detailed description in a moment. But first, allow me to explain why most people have sleep apnea in the first place.

The vast majority of people with sleep apnea suffer from what’s called “obstructive sleep apnea”, or OSA (a small percentage of people have “central sleep apnea”. Central sleep apnea is very different from OSA, and is caused by neurological factors. I’ll be talking only about obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, here).

When obstructive sleep apnea occurs, the tissues in your upper throat relax and collapse together while you’re sleeping. This blocks the air’s passage temporarily.

There’s also a connection with snoring here. Flabby tissues in the mouth and throat not only collapse when you fall asleep. They also VIBRATE – which is what causes snoring.

So the key to conquering obstructive sleep apnea (and snoring) is to have STRONG muscles to keep your throat open while you sleep – muscles in your throat, tongue and soft palate.

As I said, the main reason people do exercises for obstructive sleep apnea is to build and strengthen the muscles located around their airway.

By doing these exercises, the airway is a lot less likely to completely collapse and become blocked off during sleep.

Please watch the video below in which Dr. Mike Nelson, Director of the SMCC Sleep Lab, describes the benefit of orofacial exercises for sleep apnea:

Obstructive sleep apnea exercises are all connected with the face, throat, mouth, nose and neck region of the body. The general concept is to strengthen, exercise and train certain muscles, making the airway easier to access during the night while sleeping.

But here’s the key: not just any exercise works in strengthening your airway; only certain exercises have been proven to strengthen the muscles that cure sleep apnea (and snoring). Your goal is to focus on THOSE exercises, so you don’t waste your time.

Here’s an example of an exercise that has been proven to significantly reduce sleep apnea: it’s called “soft palate blowing”.

A balloon can also be used for this exercise. Blow into a balloon with your mouth; after each outward breath, stop and remove the balloon; then breathe in deeply through the nose. Then blow into the balloon again, following the steps I just described.

Below is a video showing you exactly how to do the exercise (click on the arrow to start the video):

What does this exercise achieve? Well, your soft palate and uvula (the dangly bit at the back of your throat) are elevated during the exhalation, which exercises and strengthens the muscles. Your pharynx will also expand and be enlarged.

I know what you’re probably thinking at…
