How Can Physiotherapy Help You?
Whether you suffer from an acute respiratory condition such as a chest infection, or a chronic condition like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), chest physiotherapy can make a big difference.
It helps you clear secretions and phlegm, making your breathing easier and improving your overall wellbeing.
Chest physiotherapy can help patients with:
- Asthma
- Bronchiectasis
- COPD
- Chest Infections
- Pneumonia
- Cystic Fibrosis
…and several other respiratory conditions.
Your Physio’s Role
During your sessions, your physiotherapist will:
Carry out a full respiratory assessment
Listen to your lungs with a stethoscope to check for phlegm
Measure your oxygen saturation levels
Use hands-on techniques (percussions, vibrations, postural drainage) to clear the chest
Teach deep breathing techniques such as the Active Cycle of Breathing Technique (ACBT)
Recommend airway clearance devices if suitable
Assess and treat mobility issues if breathing affects your movement
Provide ongoing advice and education to help you manage your condition effectively
