Pediatric chest physiotherapy

Pediatric chest physiotherapy is a treatment for children, especially those with breathing difficulties or lung conditions. It involves techniques to help clear mucus from the lungs, making it easier for them to breathe. Techniques may include gentle tapping on the chest and back to loosen mucus, specific breathing exercises, and positions that promote drainage. This therapy is often used for children with conditions like cystic fibrosis or bronchitis, helping to improve lung function and overall health. It’s typically performed by trained therapists and can be an important part of managing a child’s respiratory care.
