Respiratory conditions are illnesses that affect the lungs and airways, making breathing difficult. Common conditions include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, and pneumonia. These conditions can lead to symptoms like shortness of breath (SOB), coughing, wheezing, and fatigue, limiting a person’s ability to engage in physical activities.
Barry, our physiotherapist, can help manage respiratory conditions through specialised techniques. He uses breathing exercises, postural drainage, and chest physiotherapy to clear mucus from the lungs, improve lung capacity, and enhance breathing efficiency. Barry can also guide patients on proper breathing techniques and exercises to strengthen respiratory muscles, reduce breathlessness, and improve overall quality of life. With his expertise, patients can manage symptoms better, prevent complications, and stay active.
