An oscillating positive expiratory pressure device comprising a housing enclosing at least one chamber, a chamber inlet configured to receive exhaled air into the at least one chamber, and a chamber outlet configured to permit exhaled air to exit the at least one chamber. A channel is positioned in an exhalation flow path between the chamber inlet and the chamber outlet, with the channel being moveably connected to a chamber of the at least one chamber. An air flow regulator is moveable with respect to the channel between a first position, where the flow of air through the channel is restricted and a second position, where the flow of air through the channel is less restricted, the air flow regulator being configured to repeatedly move between the first position and the second position in response to a flow of exhaled air.

1. A respiratory treatment device comprising: a housing enclosing a chamber;a chamber inlet configured to receive air into the chamber;a chamber outlet configured to permit air to exit the chamber;a channel positioned in a flow path between the chamber inlet and the chamber outlet; and,an air flow regulator moveable with respect to the channel between a first position where the flow of air through the channel is restricted, and a second position where the flow of air through the channel is less restricted, the air flow regulator being configured to repeatedly move between the first position and the second position in response to a flow of air along the flow path;wherein an orientation of the channel relative to the housing is selectively adjustable by a user. 2. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein the orientation of the channel relative to the housing is selectively adjustable by a user independent of an orientation of the housing. 3. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein the channel comprises a truncated cone. 4. The respiratory treatment device of claim 3, wherein the truncated cone is rotatable about an axis offset from a central axis of the truncated cone. 5. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein the air flow regulator comprises a spherical shape. 6. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein a weight of the air flow regulator offers a resistance to the flow of air through the channel. 7. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein the channel is configured to move with respect to the housing in response to a change in an orientation of the housing. 8. The respiratory treatment device of claim 1, wherein the orientation of the channel relative to the air flow regulator is selectively adjustable by a user. 9. A respiratory treatment device comprising: a housing enclosing a chamber;a chamber inlet configured to receive air into the chamber;a chamber outlet configured to permit air to exit the chamber;a channel positioned in a flow path between the chamber inlet and the chamber outlet; and,an air flow regulator moveable with respect to the channel between a first position where the flow of air through the channel is restricted, and a second position where the flow of air through the channel is less restricted, the air flow regulator being configured to repeatedly move between the first position and the second position in response to a flow of air along the flow path;wherein an orientation of the channel relative to the air flow regulator is selectively adjustable by a user. 10. The respiratory treatment device of claim 9, wherein the orientation of the channel relative to the air flow regulator is selectively adjustable by a user independent of an orientation of the housing. 11. The respiratory treatment device of claim 9, wherein the channel comprises a truncated cone. 12. The respiratory treatment device of claim 11, wherein the truncated cone is rotatable about an axis offset from a central axis of the truncated cone. 13. The respiratory treatment device of claim 9, wherein the air flow regulator comprises a spherical shape. 14. The respiratory treatment device of claim 9, wherein a weight of the air flow regulator offers a resistance to the flow of air through the channel. 15. The respiratory treatment device of claim 9, wherein the channel is configured to move with respect to the housing in response to a change in an orientation of the housing. 16. The respiratory treatment device of claim 9, wherein the orientation of the channel relative to the housing is selectively adjustable by a user. 17. A method of performing respiratory therapy, the method comprising: selectively adjusting an orientation of a channel relative to a housing of a respiratory treatment device having an inlet configured to receive air into the housing and an outlet configured to permit air to exit the housing;receiving a flow of air into the housing;directing the flow of air through the channel;moving an air flow regulator with respect to the channel repeatedly between a first position where the flow of air through the channel is restricted, and a second position where the flow of air through the channel is less restricted. 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the orientation of the channel relative to the housing is selectively adjustable independent of an orientation of the housing. 19. The method of claim 17, wherein the air flow regulator moves repeatedly between the first position and the second position in response to the flow of air through the channel. 20. The method of claim 17, wherein a weight of the air flow regulator offers a resistance to the flow of air through the channel.
