  • Breathing problems can also be caused by poor posture, which a physiotherapist can help to address, leading to better breathing.

Techniques for secretion clearance: Lung mucus can be difficult to clear if you have a respiratory condition. Physiotherapists can teach postural drainage, percussion, and vibration techniques to help mobilise and remove secretions.
