Respiratory therapy

Respiratory physiotherapy helps to solve problems with disorders of the respiratory system. This includes conditions affecting the lungs such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. It can be used at all stages of disease from early diagnosis through to chronic illness. Physiotherapy is focused on maximising physical function and helping you manage symptoms.
If you are suffering from respiratory disorders, physiotherapy may help you cope better with:

• Shortness of breath
• Clearing secretions
• Feeling tired due to breathlessness
• Tasks that are difficult to perform
• Exercising and aiming to get fitter and stronger
