Chest Physiotherapy
At Pramukh Advance Physiotherapy Center, we offer specialized Chest Physiotherapy to help patients manage respiratory conditions, improve lung function, and enhance overall breathing efficiency. Whether you're recovering from a respiratory illness or living with a chronic lung condition, our expert care can help clear your airways and restore your respiratory health.
What is Chest Physiotherapy?
Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a set of physical techniques designed to help clear mucus and secretions from the lungs. It plays a vital role in improving breathing, preventing lung infections, and maintaining healthy pulmonary function — especially for those with chronic respiratory disorders.
Our trained physiotherapists use a combination of techniques to mobilize and expel mucus from the lungs, making breathing easier and more effective.
Techniques Used in Chest Physiotherapy
At Pramukh Advance Physiotherapy Center, we tailor chest physiotherapy sessions based on each patient’s condition, using methods such as:
- Percussion (Clapping): Rhythmic clapping on the chest wall to loosen mucus
- Vibration Therapy: Gentle shaking to help move mucus toward larger airways
- Postural Drainage: Positioning the body to use gravity for mucus drainage
- Deep Breathing Exercises: To expand the lungs and promote airflow
- Incentive Spirometry: Encouraging deep, effective breaths to maintain lung capacity
- Coughing Techniques: Taught to help effectively expel loosened secretions
These techniques help prevent complications such as infections and improve lung performance.
