Respiratory physiotherapy is an integral part of the management of many respiratory conditions.
It can help you treat specific complaints such as ways to clear sputum or phlegm more easily or how to manage shortness of breath.
Our physiotherapists adopt a holistic approach to assessing and treating you and aim to give you the confidence to understand and self manage your condition, prevent complications and improve your quality of life.
These are some of the conditions that would benefit from respiratory physiotherapy:
We carry out a comprehensive assessment and treatment based on your symptoms. This may include specific breathing techniques or exercises, an individualised general exercise programme, breathlessness and energy conservation management.
We also offer a pulmonary rehabilitation programme which has been shown to improve breathlessness and quality of life for people limited by their lung condition.
The outpatient respiratory service is managed by Keena Shavji and is available at St John’s Wood on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Corrine Ward also runs the respiratory service at The Royal Hospital Chelsea on a Tuesday morning between 10am and 1pm.
If indicated we offer physiotherapy home visits within a 20 minute radius of our St John’s Wood clinic.
Swati Bhagat, our paediatric physiotherapist, is able to see babies through to adolescents with respiratory complaints.
