Every Wednesday Mel & Harry with help our patients with breathing problems. A snapshot….
“Here’s what we worked on today with T. She came in excited and hoping for some “relief”. Upon interview, we noticed that ventilators mechanics were good, but upon excitement and/or mild exertion - her inhalation was not as deep. We started with lower rib cage expansion + power belly breathing + restrictive exhalation exercises - she picked up modalities quickly. We proceeded to use adaptive exercises with resistance training. OUTCOME: She was SURPRISED on how soon she felt better and able to take deeper breaths. In fact, she tested herself and did 10 push ups without getting short of breath. She thought it was a miracle. She wants to continue and made another appointment next week. We will continue to scale her exercises and expand her breathing exercises.”
