GOT THE FLU? TRY A PHYSIO...BALLITO PHYSIO TALKS ABOUT CHEST PHYSIO

CHEST PHYSIOTHERAPY

WHAT IS IT
A treatment consisting of different techniques to aid the removal of secretions from the lungs. 

WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF?
1. Postural drainage aids mucus removal from different lobes of your lungs using gravity. By placing yourself or your child in different positions, mucus drains to the bigger airways where it can be coughed up. 

2. Chest Percussions
Or Clapping or tapping also known as "tappy tap" by some of my paed patients. 
This technique involves a rhythmic tapping of the chest to loosen up thick mucus so that it can be expelled.

3. Controlled Coughing/Supported Coughing
To break down secretions and expel mucus.

4. Deep Breathing Exercises/Autogenic Drainage/Active Cycle of Breathing, Huffing (Forced Expiration Technique)
Works on different air pressure in the lungs to move the secretions to the larger airways. Improves the distribution of oxygen by expending the lung tissue.

5. Vibrations
Performed with breathing exercises to facilitate movement of secretions. Gentle vibrations applied manually to chest wall to break down secretions.

6. Incentive spirometers, Peak flow meters and Bronchovibes and nebulization are essential adjuncts to complete your chest physiotherapy treatment.
