How Our Respiratory Physiotherapists Treat Cystic Fibrosis in London with New Chest Physiotherapy

Excellence Physiotherapy London offers a new model of chest physiotherapy, unique to the UK and tailored for patients with cystic fibrosis. The technique will bring a new quality of life to patients by using the most modern and efficient exercises possible.

Old forms of chest physiotherapy would use exercises such as clapping or percussion, which can actually be constraining and unpleasant for patients with cystic fibrosis, especially when it has to be repeated daily. Based on almost 20 years of research from MRI scans, new models of chest physiotherapy performed by physiotherapists from BabyPhysio London are based on slow expiration and is proved to be more efficient, gentler and less constraining while still effectively clearing the lungs. The technique can be performed passively, or with the help of the patient, and sessions are much shorter with greater effects, meaning your child won’t feel as exhausted. New chest physiotherapy also incorporates imitation and games, meaning your child can have fun whilst increasing their quality of life.

What is Cystic Fibrosis and How Does it Occur in Children and Babies?

Cystic fibrosis can be inherited if both parents are carriers of the faulty gene found in chromosome 7 that controls the salt moving in the body. The abnormal transport of chloride and sodium allows too much salt and water into cells and results in thick and sticky mucus in tubes and airways, and cells that line the airways of the lungs make mucus that is much thicker than normal. This can clog the lungs, resulting in inflammation and eventually pneumonia. Cystic fibrosis can also affect the pancreas, liver and intestines, making it difficult for the body to absorb nutrients properly.

How to Detect Cystic Fibrosis in Children and Babies?

In babies, early symptoms often appear in the form of meconium ileus, a bowel obstruction, or an inability to grow in weight or height.

As children grow older, symptoms can vary from a persistent cough, to repeated chest infections, however as these symptoms can be very common in children, careful screening is necessary. All newborn babies should be screened at birth for cystic fibrosis, however if any of the above symptoms should persist, it is important to get tested, especially if any of your relatives is a carrier.
