Learn specialised breathing techniques aimed at improving oxygen intake and managing breathlessness. We also design custom exercise programs to strengthen respiratory muscles and enhance endurance, vital for overall respiratory health.
Postural Drainage and Airway Clearance Techniques
We provide guidance on effective postural drainage and airway clearance, essential for patients with conditions that lead to mucus buildup. These techniques are crucial for maintaining clear airways and preventing infections.
Respiratory Equipment Training
