Physiotherapy teaches techniques and routines to clear the chest, supports breathing, and uses exercise to keep your lungs as healthy as possible, working alongside your pulmonologist and doctor.

When to seek urgent care
Physiotherapy is safe for most people, but see a doctor urgently if you have any of these:
- Coughing up a significant amount of blood
- Sudden severe breathlessness or chest pain
- A chest infection with high fever or feeling very unwell
Do not book physiotherapy for emergency symptoms. Seek urgent medical care first, then use physiotherapy when it is safe and appropriate.
