Managing Lung Conditions at Home
For patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Bronchiectasis, or severe asthma, leaving the house can trigger breathlessness or expose them to dangerous urban pollution. Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation is best done in the clean, controlled environment of your own home.
What is Chest Physiotherapy (CPT)?
Chest physiotherapy is a set of clinical techniques designed to clear excessive mucus from the lungs and improve respiratory efficiency. Our MPT Cardiothoracic specialists bring these hospital-grade treatments to your doorstep.
Techniques We Use:
- Postural Drainage: Positioning the patient using pillows on their own bed so gravity helps drain secretions from specific lung lobes.
- Percussion & Vibration: Rhythmic clapping on the chest and back to dislodge thick, sticky mucus.
- Active Cycle of Breathing Techniques (ACBT): Teaching the patient controlled deep breathing followed by 'huffing' to clear sputum without exhausting coughing fits.
- Incentive Spirometry: Providing and training with devices to improve lung expansion and oxygen capacity.
Post-Cardiac Surgery Care
We also specialize in post-CABG (bypass surgery) home rehabilitation, helping patients regain their strength, manage sternal precautions, and gradually increase their cardiovascular endurance.
Improve your oxygen levels and quality of life safely. Book a chest physiotherapy home visit anywhere in Hyderabad with Athletlance's specialized team.
