Assessment and shared goals
The first appointment considers your diagnosis, medical guidance, symptoms and activities that are difficult. Together we define practical goals and choose physiotherapy strategies that are appropriate for your situation.
FISIO26 · Ernesto Martina
Respiratory physiotherapy in Locarno
An individual programme for breathing control, mobility and everyday activities, taking account of your clinical situation and medical guidance.
Breathing control and mobility
The programme may include breathing control, chest mobility exercises and positions that can make breathing more manageable. Each activity is taught and adapted to the individual rather than following one protocol for everyone.
Airway clearance when indicated
Where there is a specific clinical indication, techniques may be used to help mobilise secretions. The choice, frequency and way they are performed require individual assessment and coordination with prescribed care.
Rebuilding movement and activity
When appropriate, exercise and activity are introduced progressively to work on tolerance to effort and independence. Intensity and rest are adapted to your response and the guidance of the healthcare team.
At the practice or at home
Respiratory physiotherapy can be arranged at FISIO26 or, when travel is difficult and the location fits current availability, as a home visit. Call or message 077 988 02 03 to discuss the service.
