Chronic bronchitis

It is considered a chronic disease because the symptoms have been with the patient for months or even years.

How does physical therapy help in chronic bronchitis?

Respiratory physiotherapy helps to drain secretions, open alveoli to achieve a good gas exchange and also, improve ventilation as well as the respiratory pattern.

But it is important to mention that respiratory physiotherapy will not cure the disease because it is a chronic disease, what we will achieve, will be the improvement of the patient’s quality of life in most cases very noticeably.
