Respiratory Physiotherapy
Respiratory Physiotherapy
Respiratory physiotherapy is fundamental in the management of chronic lung diseases. It utilizes techniques such as breathing exercises, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, and secretion removal to improve lung function, reduce dyspnea, among others.

Patients with chronic lung diseases, such as COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) and pulmonary fibrosis, face significant respiratory limitations. Respiratory physiotherapy aims to improve lung function and reduce associated symptoms such as dyspnea and fatigue.
This is done through techniques such as breathing exercises, respiratory muscle training, non-invasive mechanical ventilation, percussion, and vibration for secretion removal, as well as patient education on energy conservation techniques and dyspnea management.
Why Physiotherapy is recommended for this treatment
Respiratory physiotherapy is recommended for patients with chronic lung diseases because it directly addresses respiratory limitations and associated symptoms.
Physiotherapists specialized in this area have specific knowledge to assess lung function, develop individualized treatment plans, and teach patients techniques that help improve lung ventilation, promote secretion clearance, and optimize overall respiratory function.
