Cardio-Respiratory physiotherapy is the management and treatment of patients with respiratory diseases, it aims to clear the patient’s airways and help them return to physical activity. As well as “chest physiotherapy”, which includes the management of patients with excessive airway secretions, maximizing oxygenation, improving lung volume, and preserving musculoskeletal function.

Respiratory physiotherapy has key role in early mobilisation, exercising, and muscle retraining for patients across conditions such as respiratory conditions (COPD, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis), neuromuscular diseases (muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury), and during pre and post-operative care mainly in upper abdominal surgeries(mastectomy, pneumonectomy, lobectomy,)

At Ayursh, we offer home physiotherapy in Bangalore that helps you to get the right respiratory care for your needs.

Ayursh Respiratory Care Mainly Aims

* To facilitate removal of retained or airway secretions(foreign body obstruction, sputum)
* To optimize lung compliance (the ability of the lung to stretch and expand) and to improve gas exchange
* To decrease the work of abnormal breathing
* Improve exercise tolerance
* Prevent secondary complications

What are the Techniques Used

1) Postural Drainage – Which involves positioning a person with the assistance of gravity to aid the normal airway clearance mechanism. Postural drainage positioning varies based on specific segments of the lungs with a large amount of secretions. Postural drainage is the drainage of secretions, by the effect of gravity, from one or more lung segments to the central airways where they can be removed by a cough or mechanical aspiration.

2) Percussion – Also referred to as cupping, clapping, and tapotement. The purpose of percussion is to intermittently apply kinetic energy to the chest wall and lungs. This is accomplished by rhythmically striking the thorax with a cupped hand or mechanical device directly over the lung segment(s) being drained.

3) Vibration – Vibration involves the application of a fine tremorous action (manually performed by pressing in the direction that the ribs and soft tissue of the chest move during expiration) over the draining area. In this technique, a rapid vibratory impulse is transmitted through the chest wall from the flattened hands of the therapist by isometric alternate contraction of the forearm flexor and extensor muscles, to loosen and dislodge the airway secretions

4) Coughing – Coughing includes directed coughing and various assisted coughing techniques.

5) Forced expiratory technique – Forced expiratory techniques involve diaphragmatic inspiration, relaxing the scapulohumeral region, and expiring forcefully from mid to low lung volumes whilst maintaining an open glottis (huffing exercises). It is more effective than coughing.

Getting home physiotherapy in Bangalore would give you the best of both worlds. You would be able to get world-class Physiotherapy treatment and you don’t have to go anywhere. But physiotherapy is not the only way to live a healthier and better life. In the following post, we would take a look at some of the tips that you should follow to live a life free from pains and body aches and how you can get the most when you book a physiotherapist home service in Bangalore.

Tips for the Workplace

Since most of us spend a lot of time in our workplace, let’s start with seeing how you can work better and avoid stress as that might lead to chronic pains and other critical health issues. Here are some of the things that you could do to work better.

– When you take a break, avoid surfing the web or answering texts. You need to get up from your seat every couple of hours, take a short walk and stretch your legs
– Do some stretches at your desk every twenty minutes to half an hour. These would loosen up your shoulder and neck, which often tend to get stiff due to the stress of work
– Always maintain an upright posture
– Sit close to your work station
– Always keep your monitor at eye level
– Your legs should be flexed at 90-degree angle with your feet resting comfortably

What to Do After an Injury

When you have injured your body, specifically if you have sustained a soft tissue injury, it is best to adopt the RICE method – Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. This helps to accelerate your recovery

– Rest is important for the body to heal. Without proper rest, the injured area could become inflamed, more painful, and the chances of further injury would go up
– Ice also helps in reducing inflammation and pain. To protect your skin we recommend that the ice be placed within a towel before wrapping around the injured area
– Compression acts in reducing the swelling and pain
– Elevation helps to reduce blood flow to the affected area

Once you’ve followed RICE, as above, please give us a call and find out how our home physiotherapy service can help you

TALK WITH YOUR THERAPIST

Communicating with your physical therapist is an efficient way to maximize the benefits of treatment. It’s always important to communicate with your therapist. Let your therapist know if something is hurting you or if you’re experiencing difficulty during treatment. Even though its common for exercises to cause some discomfort and most of the time, they might be minor issues, but still make sure you inform your physiotherapist about the same.

KEEP A RECOVERY JOURNAL

A recovery journal is a great way to log your progress as you get better. It is recommended that you record the date of the sessions, what was done and if you have faced any discomfort either during the session or after, make sure that you write it down as well.

Share your findings with your therapist. This would help in tracking the progress and they would be able to customize your therapy to adapt to the issue. Recovery tends to get slow at times. Having a record helps you see just how far you’ve come. During our initial sessions for home physiotherapy in Bangalore, we recommend that our patients follow a detailed journal

PUT YOUR COMMITMENT

The number of physiotherapy sessions you have for therapy often depends on your injury or the ailment that you are facing. Minor injuries may only need a few sessions, while more serious injuries may take several weeks or months. When we offer home physiotherapy in Bangalore, we develop an optimized treatment that would help you to recover fast. It also depends on how seriously you take the treatment.

You would need to stick to appointments as that is key to a speedy recovery. Don’t skip any sessions; make sure you stay on track concerning recuperation.
