Frenzel Method (throat piston)

Before this movie I equalised using 'hold nose and blow' method.  The Frenzel method seems to be much more efficient.

1. Pinch your nose.

2. Fill your mouth up with a little bit of air.

3. Close the epiglottis.

4. Move the soft palate to the neutral position.

5. Use the tongue as a piston and push air towards the back of your throat.
