Chest Physiotherapy

Mucus buildup and airway obstruction can make breathing more difficult and may require structured respiratory support. The chest physiotherapy methods described on this site represent the types of airway-clearance techniques that may be incorporated into our planned service offerings. These methods can include chest percussion intended to help loosen secretions, postural drainage positions that support mucus movement, and vibration techniques used to assist with mobilizing congestion. For individuals who need guidance on effective coughing strategies, education on cough-assistance methods and airway-clearance practices may also be included as part of the support we plan to provide.

Information is also provided about the use of flutter devices for individuals managing cystic fibrosis or other conditions requiring routine airway-clearance routines. These descriptions are for educational purposes only and do not replace clinical evaluation, diagnosis, or medical treatment. They are not intended to suggest that complications can be prevented or that hospital visits can be avoided through these techniques.
