What is physiotherapy for genetic
conditions & cystic fibrosis and should
Parramatta patients choose this treatment?
Physiotherapy for genetic conditions and cystic fibrosis patients in Parramatta mainly focuses on the treatment of the chest area. People with this disease experience thick sticky mucus that fills their airways, making it very difficult to breathe.
Modified postural drainage
Modified postural drainage, involves positioning the patient in such a way as to use gravity to drain the lungs of excess mucus.
Airway clearance techniques
This technique may include vibration and percussion (clapping) movements on the chest, as well as deep breathing, huffing or coughing to loosen the mucus, so that it can be drained.
Additional supportive treatment methods may include hot and cold treatment, dry needling, trigger-point therapy and the use of specialised equipment.
