Respiratory physical therapy is both an art and a science. Breathing is a unique and often automatic process, yet it is essential for our overall well-being. Most people rarely give much thought to breathing, as it occurs both involuntarily and voluntarily, even during unconscious states. The respiratory system plays a vital role in the body, from pumping gas into the lungs and facilitating gas exchange to maintaining acid-base balance, metabolism, and defending the body against external elements. When any aspect of this process is disrupted, it can lead to various respiratory ailments.
