BOOK APPOINTMENT

Respiratory physiotherapy is a core speciality within the physiotherapy profession and occupies a key role in the management and treatment of patients with respiratory diseases. It aims to clear the patient’s airways and help them return to physical activity and exertion.

As Sheffield’s leading specialist physiotherapy clinic, you can trust us to get to the root cause of the problem, efficiently.

Difficulties may be as a result of:

  • Long standing condition such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis or emphysema
  • A dysfunctional breathing pattern such as hyperventilation, mouth breathing, anxiety or postural related breathing problems
  • After an acute illness or chest infection
  • Following surgery or a prolonged stay in hospital.

Respiratory physiotherapy can help with problems such as:

  • Excessive secretions or difficulty clearing them
  • Breathlessness at rest or on exertion
  • Understanding your condition, how to manage symptoms and recognise when you need to ask for help
  • Reduced ability exercise due to shortness of breath.
  • Difficulty with day-to-day activities as a result of your breathing.

At an initial session our highly skilled physiotherapists will complete a thorough assessment to identify your main problems and goals. We will then devise an individualised treatment programme.
