Respiratory physiotherapy and other respiratory treatments - vacation for the lungs
Respiratory diseases are among the most common conditions in Europe. In particular, conditions such as asthma, allergies, chronic bronchitis or COPD place a burden on those affected and have a negative impact on their quality of life. With special therapies such as respiratory physiotherapy, patients receive relief and their symptoms improve. This is ideal in the context of a special healing therapy at a resort town with a stimulating climate and special air.
Definition: What is respiratory therapy?
Respiratory therapy is the targeted influencing of diseases of the lungs and respiratory tract, for example through physical treatments in the context of respiratory physiotherapy, the learning of certain exercises or treatments such as inhalations.
This is the procedure and content of a respiratory treatment
A healing therapy with respiratory therapy always begins with a detailed initial consultation with a physician. Based on the medical history and the current complaints, a detailed and individual treatment plan is put together after the consultation. This is usually a combination program of individual treatments such as respiratory physiotherapy, but also group therapies. Certain devices are used to strengthen the respiratory muscles and inhalers are used to relax the lungs.
In a final consultation, the progress of the healing therapies is then reflected upon and instructions are given for further procedures at home. At home, they can use specific inhalers to continue the methods learned during the healing therapies.
Typical treatments include, above all, training the respiratory muscles. Supporting treatments such as inhalations or stays in salt caves depend on which facility is involved.
Indications and contraindications of the respiratory therapy
Indications
Asthma
Asthmatics benefit particularly from healing therapies and often have significantly fewer attacks afterwards.
During the healing therapies, the patients learn important breathing techniques. It is crucial that the breathing techniques are practiced daily. If asthmatics then have an attack, they can use the techniques to counteract it much more consciously.
Chronic bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis often improves during stays in a stimulating climate, and coughing attacks and mucus accumulation are reduced. If this is combined with special respiratory therapy at a health resort, the condition can improve permanently.
Initial study results indicate that active training of the respiratory muscles can achieve significant improvements.
Contraindications & side effects
People with respiratory diseases usually have a severely limited ability to exercise. Therefore, each therapy must be individually adapted to the capacity in order to avoid overloading. This is because, in the worst case, these can make the disease even worse.
In addition, there are various contraindications to exercising the respiratory muscles:
- Heart disease, such as angina pectoris and myocardial ischemia.
- Cardiac arrhythmias
- Heart failure
- Embolism and thrombosis
- COPD with acute exacerbation
