Treatment of sinus and chest conditions

TREATMENT OF SINUS AND CHEST CONDITIONS:

We offer relief from sinus headaches. Physiotherapist we can assist children and adults with chest infections and sinus infections in various ways.

Chest physiotherapy generally aims to remove obstructive secretions (phlegm) in the lungs, to make it easier for the child to breathe and to improve the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.

We can help you clear phlegm from your chest. We can also teach you breathing exercises, ways to lie to help drain the phlegm, and talk to you about preventative measures to prevent the infection to friends and family.

Breathing exercise is very important for people to assist in full recovery. It is essential to do strength exercises of all the big muscle groups, including teaching diaphragmatic breathing, and some cardiovascular or endurance exercise. Keshri Fuchs Physiotherapists can advise on such an exercise programme. Physiotherapy for treating sinus congestion include laser radiation, dry needling, nebulisation, ultrasound, acupressure point therapy and self help techniques.
