RESPIRATORY PHYSIOTHERAPY
Prosense offers modern treatments that can aid in the neurofunctional rehabilitation of various dysfunctions. Discover all the benefits!
THE IMPORTANCE OF RESPIRATORY PHYSIOTHERAPY
magine being able to breathe easier, feel stronger, and reduce the risk of respiratory complications. This is achievable with a personalized treatment plan focused on your specific needs. We are here to help you overcome these challenges and achieve a more complete recovery.
If you’re facing challenges due to neurological injuries, you know how these can impact your mobility and respiratory function. These changes in the nervous system can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, atelectasis, and respiratory failure. This is where respiratory physiotherapy plays a crucial role.
Our goal is clear: to prevent and treat these issues by helping you maintain lung volumes and strengthen respiratory muscles. Through respiratory physiotherapy, we work to enhance your breathing capacity and, as a result, your quality of life.
Shall we embark on this journey together? Schedule a consultation with us and discover how respiratory physiotherapy can make a difference in your life.
Neurological Injuries and Respiratory Complications
Did you know that respiratory physiotherapy can be a tremendous ally in your recovery, especially if you have neurological injuries? Often, we think this specialty is exclusive to hospitals and intensive care units, but it is equally crucial in outpatient rehabilitation.
Neurological injuries and neuromuscular respiratory complications affect breathing capacity. For example, high spinal cord injuries can impair the diaphragm, the main muscle for breathing, increasing the risk of serious complications. Respiratory physiotherapy is essential for reducing mortality and improving the quality of life for these patients.
Who Can Benefit?
Neurological disorders (also known as neurological diseases or conditions) affect the brain, cerebellum, brainstem, and/or spinal cord. Whether child, adult, or elderly, neurofunctional physiotherapy is recommended for various conditions such as:
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
Potential Respiratory Complications in Neurological Patients:
Pneumonia
Atelectasis
Respiratory failure
Sleep disturbances
Secretion retention
Increased respiratory effort
Physical deconditioning
Another situation where physiotherapeutic intervention is essential is with patients who have a tracheostomy. The synergy between physiotherapy and speech therapy supports progress toward decannulation.
BENEFITS OF OUR TREATMENT
Transform Your Life with Respiratory Rehabilitation
The benefits of respiratory physiotherapy are numerous. Beyond improving respiratory muscle strength, it facilitates the elimination of secretions and reduces the work of breathing.
This translates to fewer hospital admissions, a lower incidence of pneumonia and atelectasis, and better adaptation to mechanical ventilation or CPAP.
Benefits of respiratory physiotherapy include:
-Maintenance of lung volumes
-Reduction of respiratory effort
-More effective elimination of secretions
-Improvement in respiratory muscle strength
-Decannulation (weaning from tracheostomy)
-Better adaptation to mechanical ventilation or CPAP
-Reduction in the incidence of atelectasis
-Reduction in the incidence of pneumonia
-Fewer hospital admissions
-Reduction of fatigue during daily activities
At Prosense Clinic, we are a national leader in the rehabilitation of neurological injuries. Our multidisciplinary approach and use of cutting-edge technology ensure effective and personalized treatment. We are here to support not just the patients but also their families throughout the entire recovery journey.

TECNOLOGIAS E INOVAÇÕES
Your health and well-being are priorities for all of us. At Prosense Clinic, we share this concern and are committed to offering innovative treatments that truly make a difference. We believe that combining advanced technologies with traditional therapies can transform treatment efficacy. This integration allows for more personalized and effective approaches, meeting the specific needs of each patient and enhancing outcomes.
Non-Invasive Neuromodulation
Through Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS), we are revolutionizing the treatment of neurological conditions. These techniques stimulate specific brain areas, promoting significant improvements in disorders such as depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and other neurological conditions.
Virtual Reality (VR)
Virtual Reality is a powerful tool that creates immersive and interactive environments. We use VR to assist in the motor and cognitive development of patients, making treatment more engaging and effective. This encourages active patient participation and promotes quicker and more lasting results.
Botulinum Toxin
We use botulinum toxin to reduce muscle spasticity in patients with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and dystonia. This treatment improves mobility and quality of life, allowing patients to perform daily activities more easily.
Other Advanced Technologies
In addition to the technologies mentioned, we have various other equipment that you can check out by clicking here.
Our goal is to offer the most modern and effective treatments for our patients, ensuring they have the best chance to reach their full potential.
