ASTHMA TREATMENT AT PHYSIO HEALTH PLUS

Asthma is a condition that causes your airways to restrict and swell, as well as create excessive mucus. This can make breathing difficult and cause coughing, whistling (wheezing), and shortness of breath.

Asthma is a minor inconvenience for some people. For others, it can be a severe issue that disrupts everyday activities and can result in a life-threatening asthma attack.

Although asthma cannot be cured, it can be managed. Physiotherapy is a great way of treatment for asthma. Physiotherapy in Gurgaon helps in managing asthma through different techniques and methods in the clinic. Because asthma symptoms might change over time, it's critical to keep track of your signs and symptoms, so physiotherapists at our clinic manage the treatment as per the need and condition of the patient.

HOW DOES PHYSIOTHERAPY HELP IN THE TREATMENT OF ASTHMA?

Here are some breathing exercises that will help you with asthma cures.

PROGRESSIVE RELAXATION TECHNIQUES:

●     Tense your right foot muscles, then relax and slowly release.
