Post Pneumonia

After recovering from pneumonia, physiotherapy or osteopathy can help you to regain your strength, improve your lung function, and alleviate any residual pain or discomfort.

As a physiotherapist, I may use the following approaches to help you recover after pneumonia:

1. Breathing exercises: I may prescribe breathing exercises to help improve your lung function, relieve any residual chest pain or tightness, and reduce the risk of future respiratory problems.
2. Exercise-based solutions: I may design a tailored exercise program to help you gradually regain your strength and mobility, and improve your overall physical function.
3. Manual therapy: I may use manual therapy techniques such as chest mobilization and soft tissue massage to help relieve any residual chest pain or tightness.

As an osteopath, I may use manual techniques to help improve the function of your chest and rib cage, and relieve any residual pain or discomfort. This may involve techniques such as gentle stretching, massage, and joint mobilization.

It’s important to seek a professional assessment from a healthcare provider such as a physiotherapist or osteopath to receive an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan for your condition. With the right care and support, you can make a full recovery from pneumonia and get back to your normal daily activities.
