Treatment Interventions

Our treatment approach is personalised and may include the following interventions:

1. Airway Clearance Techniques

  • Manual Techniques: Chest percussion, vibration, and shaking help loosen mucus from the airways, facilitating better breathing.
  • Breathing Control: Techniques such as diaphragmatic breathing and pursed-lip breathing enhance lung efficiency and capacity.
  • Huffing and Coughing: These methods are designed to help expel mucus from the airways.
  • Postural Drainage: Strategic positioning of the body assists in draining secretions through gravity.

2. Therapeutic Exercise

  • Strength Training: Targeted exercises to strengthen the respiratory muscles and core, improving endurance and breathing efficiency.
  • Aerobic Exercise: Activities like walking, cycling, or swimming to improve cardiovascular health and overall fitness.
  • Pulmonary Rehabilitation: A comprehensive program combining exercise, breathing techniques, and education to enhance lung function and overall quality of life.

3. Additional Treatments

  • Suctioning: Removal of airway secretions with a suction device to support improved breathing.
  • Positioning: Adjusting your position to enhance lung expansion and optimize breathing.
