respiratory Physiotherapy in Cheltenham
physiotherapy for breathlessness, helping you breathe better, move better and regain control
What is Respiratory Physiotherapy
Breathing shouldn’t feel like hard work. Respiratory physiotherapy — sometimes referred to as breathing physiotherapy or chest physiotherapy — relates to the assessment and treatment of people with disorders of the respiratory system. This includes conditions that affect your lungs, such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis. It can be used at all stages of disease, from early diagnosis through to chronic illness.
The symptoms of lung conditions vary in terms of their intensity. For example, some people with asthma struggle with persistent symptoms, while others experience symptoms in flare ups (symptoms that come and go in stages). Regardless of how severe your symptoms are, respiratory physiotherapy can help significantly improve your lung strength and quality of life. Physiotherapy for lung problems is focused on maximising physical function and helping you manage your symptoms.
Clearer Breathing Starts With Calm, Supportive Physiotherapy
We understand the importance of being able to access specialist and individualised support from respiratory professionals when it is needed most, at apace that suits you. We believe passionately that not every person is the same, nor are they defined by their condition.
