45 minutes, when you book privately
A private initial appointment runs 45 minutes, so there's room for a thorough assessment and a real conversation. Appointments funded by an EPC care plan, WorkCover or DVA run 30 minutes.
Respiratory physiotherapy in Albany Creek.
Chest physio helps adults and children with breathing and lung conditions including asthma, bronchitis, COPD, emphysema and bronchiectasis. We assess what's happening and write down the plan for treatment.
So what does chest physio involve?
Respiratory physiotherapy techniques may include breathing exercises, airway clearance techniques and exercise therapy. These techniques aim to clear mucus and improve lung function, making it easier to breathe.
- Breathing exercises
- We assess your breathing and lung function, then teach you breathing techniques you can use at home.
- Airway clearance
- Techniques to clear mucus from your chest, so it's easier to breathe.
- Exercise therapy
- Exercises to improve strength, flexibility and endurance, and build up your exercise tolerance.
So what should I expect?
Your physiotherapist will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.
A written management plan
After visit one you get your diagnosis, the path forward, and how long it should take. You take it home rather than trying to remember it.
The same clinician every visit
You build a real relationship with one person, and you're treated the same on your last visit as your first. If you don't need to come back, we'll tell you.
Who we see.
Adults
If you've been diagnosed with a respiratory condition, or you're finding it hard to breathe, respiratory physiotherapy may be able to help.
Children
We see children too. Book for your child the same way, or call and we'll talk it through first.
Not sure it's the right thing?
Talk to your doctor, or call us before you book and we'll work it out with you. If it's something we can't help with, we'll tell you.
