Respiratory Therapist Questions Weak lungs

Can a musical instrument like the flute help my son engage his lung muscles better?

My son had suffered a severe bout of pneumonia when he was 3 years old and ever since we have been trying various activities to strengthen his lung muscles. Can I also try instruments like the flute? Will it help in engaging his lung muscles better?

Hello,
Yes absolutely it will definitely help improve and strengthen his lungs. You can also have him do things like blow bubbles 3 to 4 a day as his daily lung exercises.

Thank you,
