Respiratory physiotherapy
This type of rehabilitation is destined to children :
• Suffering from acute respiratory pathologies: bronchiolitis, bronchitis, rhinitis…
• Suffering from mucoviscidosis,
• Suffering from neuromuscular diseases which cause respiratory problems (spinal amyotrophy, myopathies, muscular dystrophy…).
In the Paediatric and Perineal Rehabilitation Centre - CRPP in Dudelange and Belval, we follow a principle of painless rehabilitation thanks to gentle techniques of respiratory cleansing, such as :
• autogenic drainage (this technique allows the child to breath at different lung volumes and to mobilize secretions)
• ELTGOL (slow expiration with open glottis)
• kinetic respiratory exercises (fractionated breathing exercises, apnoea…), etc.
• With older children we also work on correcting posture so as to improve efficiency in breathing: opening of the torso, stretching of the shoulders, working on the diaphragm…
Parents will also receive different advice: how to correctly undertake a nasal rinse, a description of warning signs in the case of a respiratory issue worsening…
