Pulmonary Dysfunction

Lung conditions can be detrimental to your health, as breathing is crucial to your life. However, these symptoms can be managed and improved.

Common conditions we cover:

Asthma

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

A common lung condition that causes difficulties in breathing as the lungs sustain damages through factors such as smoking, air pollution etc. 

Emphysema

A chronic lung disease that affects the air sacs in the lungs, causing you to have difficulties in breathing. 

Chronic Bronchitis

It is a lung condition where the airways of the lungs have been inflamed or damaged for an extended time.

Pulmonary Hypertension

It is a lung condition where there is high blood pressure specifically in the blood vessels that supply the lungs.

Through our Patient Orientation Process, we will guide you through your condition at every step of the way.
 
Treatments may consist of:
Manual Therapy

Clinical approach utilising skilled, specific hands-on techniques with the benefits of diagnosing and treating soft tissues and joint structures for purpose of modulation pain, increasing range of motion (ROM), reducing or eliminating soft tissue inflammation, inducing relaxation and facilitating movement and improving function.​

Mechanical Traction

Relief pressure on one or many spinal discs and pinched nerves of the spinal column.

Cryotherapy

 Increase blood flow in tissues, decrease inflammation and pain and promote vasoconstriction which increases blood flow.

Ultrasound therapy

Helps with speeding up the healing process from the increase in blood flow, decreases in pain from the reduction of swelling and oedema.

Interferential therapy

Uses a mid-frequency electrical signal to treat muscular spasms and strains, producing a massaging effect over the affected area stimulating the secretion of endorphins which blankets the pain away.

Soft tissue massage

Help with decreasing pain and muscle spasm, increasing circulation and muscle flexibility and improving overall flexibility.

Exercises

Strength, mobility, flexibility training and cardiovascular conditioning will be taught to improve your physical strength, reduce pain and avoid the recurrence of future injury.
