At Air Physiotherapy we’re very proud of the exceptional facilities we offer our respiratory physiotherapy patients in our clinics at Until in Marylebone and Soho.
But what if you’d like to access our services but are unable to travel into central London?
Our respiratory physiotherapists offer our specialised care right in the comfort of your own home. But why might you need these services? Let’s take a moment to explore some of the reasons and benefits.
Managing chronic respiratory conditions
Conditions such as COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, or pulmonary fibrosis often lead to persistent symptoms such as breathlessness, cough, and frequent lung infections, the severity of which can also increase over time.
You may find that travel into London is just too much for you to physically manage, so having a member of our home visit respiratory physiotherapy team visit you at home to design a tailored exercise and breathing program for you can help improve your physical function, reduce symptoms and infection frequency, as well as enhance your overall quality of life.
Post-surgery recovery
Recovery from heart or lung surgery can be particularly challenging as you rebuild your strength and physical fitness. Respiratory physiotherapy can help speed up the recovery process by using techniques such as breathing exercises and airway clearance to ensure your lungs are functioning optimally. Getting specialised care at home means you can recover in a familiar environment.
Respiratory infections
If you’re recovering from COVID-19, pneumonia, or any other respiratory infection, you may find you experience lingering symptoms like fatigue and shortness of breath. Home respiratory physiotherapy can provide targeted rehabilitation to address these issues, helping you regain your pre-illness level of activity and health. Programs can include a mix of cardiovascular exercises, strength training, and breathing techniques to help manage and reduce long-term symptoms. We pay close attention to heart rate zones and avoiding post exertional malaise in our long Covid patients, and remain up to date with the latest evidence and recommendations regarding treatment of the condition.
Respiratory physiotherapy at home is the answer!
Sometimes, the logistics of traveling to a clinic can be daunting, especially for those with severe symptoms or mobility issues. Home visits mean you don’t need to travel, which helps reduce any stress and makes it easier for you to access the treatment you need to improve your symptoms.
