Chest Physiotherapy Centre in Himatnagar
Chest physiotherapy uses breathing exercises, coughing techniques and positioning to clear mucus from the lungs and help you breathe better. At Pluto Hospital, Himatnagar, it is used in the ICU, after chest or abdominal surgery, and for pneumonia, COPD and other lung conditions.
Understanding the Condition
What Is Chest Physiotherapy?
When you are ill, in pain after surgery or lying in bed, the lungs don’t expand fully and mucus collects, raising the risk of pneumonia. Chest physiotherapy opens up the lungs, helps clear secretions and builds breathing stamina.
