Percussion Therapy
Is percussion therapy a part of your routine? Something you do only when you’re sick?
I will admit, it is something that SHOULD be a part of my daily routine but I falter.
Percussion therapy is performed to loosen mucous in your lungs and assist with coughing. If there is no mucous in your lungs, it is still a great preventative tool to keep your airways open.
Recently, one of my coworkers here at SMA News Today, Michael, had an upper respiratory infection and needed percussion therapy to have a more productive cough. In this article, his physical therapy assistant explains the regimen she and Michael followed to help beat the infection which included using a cough assist and percussion therapy in his wheelchair. Because Michael was having difficulty breathing lying down, they adapted to circumstances and worked directly from his wheelchair.
