Patient Resources
Reduced lung function, prolonged bed rest, or respiratory illness can make breathing harder for elderly patients and lead to chest infections. Chest physiotherapy uses breathing exercises and airway clearance techniques to improve lung capacity and prevent complications.
When to see a physiotherapist: Seek urgent medical care for sudden severe breathlessness, chest pain, high fever with cough, or bluish discoloration of lips or fingertips.
