Respiratory Therapy
Finding The Right Respiratory Therapist
​
Finding the right respiratory therapist is crucial for receiving effective and personalized care. A good respiratory therapist possesses a combination of clinical expertise, compassion, and excellent communication skills. They should be knowledgeable about the latest advancements in respiratory care and be able to tailor treatment plans to meet each patient's unique needs.
How Respiratory Therapists Can Help
​
There are several reasons why someone might require the assistance of a respiratory therapist:​
​
1. Chronic Respiratory Conditions (Eg. Asthma)
Individuals with chronic respiratory conditions like asthma, COPD, or cystic fibrosis may need a respiratory therapist to manage symptoms and improve lung function. Respiratory therapists create and monitor personalized treatment plans, educate patients on medication use, breathing techniques, and lifestyle adjustments, and regularly assess and adjust treatments. Their expertise is essential in enhancing the quality of life for those with chronic respiratory diseases.
​
2. Post-Surgery Recovery
Patients recovering from surgery or trauma can benefit from respiratory therapy rehabilitation. Respiratory therapists ensure optimal lung function and prevent complications like pneumonia or atelectasis. Using techniques such as deep breathing exercises, incentive spirometry, and chest physiotherapy, they help patients regain respiratory strength and capacity, promoting smoother recovery.

Respiratory therapy is a specialised healthcare profession that evaluates, treats, and manages patients with respiratory disorders or conditions that affect breathing.
