Respiratory Physiotherapy
Restoring respiratory function through personalized rehabilitation programs
Respiratory physiotherapy is aimed at patients suffering from chronic or acute respiratory diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic respiratory failure, bronchial asthma, dyspnea, and complications following thoracic or abdominal surgery.
At the Kinetic Center in Lugano, our specialized physiotherapists develop personalized rehabilitation programs, both at the clinic and at home, using techniques such as postural drainage, exercises to restore respiratory function, and respiratory training devices.
Those who suffer from breathing difficulties often experience a reduction in physical condition, entering a vicious cycle where shortness of breath limits movement, leading to loss of strength and muscle tone. Our interdisciplinary approach aims to break this cycle through rehabilitation of the diaphragm, respiratory muscles, and recovery of general motor function, with targeted exercise programs tailored to individual needs.
Even in the most severe cases, our goal is to significantly improve both respiratory and motor capacity, enabling a gradual return to daily activities and enhancing quality of life both physically and psychologically.
Within the center, we offer two dedicated rooms equipped with treadmills, exercise bikes, and areas for bodyweight exercises—ideal for therapeutic training and muscle strengthening. We also provide home-based treatments, when indicated, to ensure an effective rehabilitation process in a safe and familiar environment.
