Manual Chest Physiotherapy

Manual Chest Physiotherapy is a treatment technique used to help clear mucus from the lungs. A healthcare provider uses hands-on methods, such as tapping or gentle percussion on the chest and back, to loosen thick mucus in the airways. This makes coughing more effective and helps improve breathing, especially for individuals with conditions like cystic fibrosis or pneumonia. The therapy can also involve postural drainage, positioning the patient to use gravity to drain mucus from different parts of the lungs. Overall, it promotes better lung function and reduces the risk of infections.
