Respiratory: Chest Physiotherapy

Chest physiotherapy, or simply CPT, is a technique that can be performed by certain healthcare workers for people suffering from diseases that impair mucus clearance, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis, and cystic fibrosis. The goal of CPT is to help the client clear excessive mucus secretions from the lungs in order to prevent complications, like mucus plugs, infections, and atelectasis.
