Respiratory physiotherapy for COPD.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a progressive disease that significantly limits respiratory function. Respiratory physiotherapy is proven beneficial and is part of international guidelines (GOLD) for disease management. During home physiotherapy, a specialized therapist teaches breathing techniques (diaphragmatic, pursed-lip), secretion clearance techniques (ACBT, autogenic drainage), and designs a personalized low-intensity aerobic exercise program. Including upper and lower extremity strengthening exercises is crucial because muscle atrophy is common in COPD patients. Consistent respiratory physiotherapy significantly improves quality of life, reduces exacerbations, decreases hospitalizations, and increases activity tolerance.
