While your inhalers are essential for treating the underlying medical inflammation, respiratory physiotherapy focuses on how you breathe between and during flares. Many people with asthma develop a habit of shallow, rapid chest breathing, which actually makes the airways more reactive to triggers or exercise. Through specialised breathing retraining, you will learn how to transition to calm, nasal-diaphragmatic breathing. These techniques help reduce airway cooling and drying (common asthma triggers), improve your lung volume, and provide you with a powerful toolkit to stay calm and control your breathing and coughing if an attack begins.
