Chest physiotherapy is a treatment option used by physiotherapists to improve respiratory function and clear mucus or secretions from the lungs. It involves various techniques, including chest percussion, vibration, deep breathing exercises, and postural drainage.
During chest physiotherapy, a physiotherapist may use their hands to clap or pound on the patient’s chest to help loosen and mobilise mucus or secretions. They may also use a pulsating device to help break up mucus and make it simpler to clear.
Additionally, deep breathing exercises and postural drainage can help move mucus from the lungs to the upper airways, which can be coughed up and expelled.
It’s commonly used for individuals with respiratory conditions such as:
Elderly individuals recovering from pneumonia may use CPT to clear congestion and prevent complications.
Post-operative patients benefit from CPT to prevent lung collapse or infection after surgery.
