Physio

The Cystic Fibrosis Physiotherapy team are here to advise and assist patient’s with airway clearance techniques and exercise.

Chest physiotherapy plays a key role in the overall respiratory management of CF. The aim being to provide each patient with an individual physiotherapy programme which enables them to keep the lungs clear of secretions thereby lessening the risk of infection and subsequent lung damage.

We can also advise you on your inhaled and nebulised treatments and will carry out any test doses and follow up of new inhaled and nebulised medications.

We can help with the management of joint or muscle pain using exercise or TENs treatment or by referral to our Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist.

If you are looking to get into exercise and would like any advice, we can offer,

  • virtual exercise classes (group classes that usually run twice per week)
  • 1 to 1 for an exercise consultations to get you started/talk through an exercise plan
  • talk through appropriate and beneficial exercise options for you

If an oxygen assessment or review is required whilst in hospital or for home use, then the Physio team can arrange and carry out this.Should it be required, we can help with the use of Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) as an airway clearance technique or for overnight ventilation use.

If you would like information about any of the above then please do not hesitate to contact us or speak to us on the ward or in clinic.
