Postural Drainage Techniques in Physiotherapy: Effective Mucus Clearance

Postural drainage is a physiotherapy technique that uses gravity-assisted positions to help clear mucus from the lungs, making breathing easier and reducing the risk of infections. Combined with chest percussion, vibration, and breathing exercises, it is especially beneficial for conditions like COPD, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, and pneumonia. Safe, effective, and non-invasive, postural drainage improves oxygenation, enhances lung function, and empowers patients to manage their respiratory health.
