How works Chest Physiotherapy? Respiratory physiotherapy

If you suffer from a severe respiratory illness in London, such as flu, bronchitis, or pneumonia, chest physiotherapy will assist a faster recovery, potentially without medication if the treatment starts at the early stages of the illness. Chest physiotherapy and lung drainage will help you clean the mucus from your lungs, offering respiratory relief and stopping the infection from spreading. This allows your body to fight the infection by focusing its energy to attack the virus or bacteria, instead of the production of phlegm, thus helping a prompter recovery.

Chest Physiotherapy for COPD and Chronic Respiratory Conditions

If you suffer from a chronic respiratory disease, such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, or COPD , the different chest physiotherapy techniques can help you control the attacks and achieve a better quality of life. Pulmonary Rehabilitation will teach you how to feel less breathless by improving your fitness and stamina, so you don’t have to quit your enjoyable everyday activities.
