What are 5 treatments for Bronchiectasis?
-
Education
- Understand pathology and why Rx is vital
- Effective PT reduces episodes of infection
-
Exercise
- Improve/maintain general fitness
- Assist mobilisation of respiratory secretions (before, during, or after therapy)

Airway Clearance
- Goal to self-treat
- Frequency during infection

-
Musculoskeletal
- Stiff kyphotic TxSx, neck, shoulder and chest (chronic adaptive changes to the chest wall and muscles)
