Respiratory physiotherapy can be useful for any patient with airflow limitation, but it is mainly prescribed for respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, which is characterized by the feeling short of breath.
How can we help?
It is also common for patients suffering from chronic and neurological diseases to make use of pulmonary physiotherapy,
because as their disease progresses their respiratory capacity is significantly affected:
- Long-term COVID
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

- Cystic fibrosis and bronchiectasis.
- Sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome.
