The didgeridoo has become popular all around the globe as a musical instrument and has recently started becoming a popular and unique form of treating sleep apnea.

So how does the Didgeridoo work in treating sleep apnea? Long term treatment for sleep apnea is to build up the strength of the muscles and throat tissues. This helps keep the integrity of the tissues from collapsing. So strengthening these muscles and tissues is one of the better long term forms of treating OSA.
