Chest Physiotherapy

Chest Physiotherapy (CPT) is a specialized treatment aimed at clearing lung secretions, improving breathing, and enhancing lung function. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, pneumonia, and post-surgical lung complications.

CPT techniques include postural drainage, percussion (chest clapping), vibration therapy, and breathing exercises like diaphragmatic breathing and pursed-lip breathing. These methods help loosen mucus, making it easier to cough out and preventing lung infections.

Regular chest physiotherapy reduces breathlessness, enhances oxygen intake, and prevents complications in bedridden patients. It is a vital component of pulmonary rehabilitation programs.
