Are breathing exercises taught by a Physiotherapist different from those taught by a yoga therapist?
Breathing exercises help to improve supply of oxygen to muscles, leading to better fatigue tolerance.
Breathing is an activity, involving a person’s lungs, rib cage and respiratory muscles.
Breathing in air needs active efforts. Breathing out happens by self.
A physiotherapist trains a person to expand lungs, mobilize ribs and strengthen respiratory muscles, either by self or with needful supports.
Depending on health conditions, surgical and medical history of a person, the respiratory training program is gradually personalized, which may happen with or without the use of various enquipments like a spirometer, flutter device, cough assist, mechanical vibrator etc.
