Respiratory physiotherapy is a specialized form of physical therapy aimed at improving lung function and breathing for individuals with respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or after surgery. It involves techniques like breathing exercises, chest physiotherapy, and postural drainage to clear mucus, improve ventilation, and enhance oxygenation.

Respiratory physiotherapists teach patients how to breathe more effectively, reduce the work of breathing, and manage respiratory symptoms. The therapy also focuses on strengthening respiratory muscles and improving lung capacity.

This therapy is essential for individuals with chronic respiratory conditions or those recovering from chest surgery, helping to improve respiratory function and overall health.
