Chest physiotherapy is a broad term used in research that incorporates physiotherapy treatment techniques that address the removal of secretion and improve airway clearance thereby help to improve respiratory efficiency.[1] Chest physiotherapy is the term for a group of treatments designed to eliminate secretions, thus helping to decrease work of breathing, promote the expansion of the lungs, and prevent the lungs from collapse.

The purpose of chest physiotherapy is:

To facilitate removal of retained or profuse airway secretions. To optimize lung compliance and prevent it from collapsing. To decrease the work of breathing. To optimize the ventilation-perfusion ratio/ improve gas exchange.

Chest physiotherapy is the important adjuvant treatment of most respiratory illnesses from chronic respiratory diseases ( COPD, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis), neuromuscular diseases (muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury), and during peri-operative care mainly in upper abdominal surgeries.Chest physiotherapy can be a valuable component of comprehensive respiratory care but only if used when indicated.
