Respiratory Physiotherapy in Horley & Reigate
Respiratory physiotherapy is a type of therapy designed around supporting and treating lung conditions. It aims to clear the lungs of secretions, reduce the effort of breathing and improve physical endurance.
Physiotherapists are key health professionals in helping people with respiratory conditions. Our physiotherapists are skilled in assessing and treating people with acute and chronic respiratory issues and may be able to assist you in avoiding hospital admissions. We understand how much respiratory issues affect everyday life, so together, we will find ways to gradually improve respiratory function, which will ease ongoing conditions and help you recuperate after an illness.Â
How SB Physiotherapy Can Help
The first step is to undergo a full assessment with a member of our team. We can complete this assessment either in your own home or in our clinic environment, whichever is easier for you. We will then set realistic goals, taking into account the nature of your condition and desired outcomes. This will enable to us create a home exercise plan. The aim of respiratory physiotherapy is education and self-management, so you can enjoy greater independence with maximum respiratory function.
No GP referral is required. You can book an appointment with our specifically trained physiotherapists for an in-depth initial assessment to see how Respiratory Physiotherapy therapy can help you.

Effective Airway Clearance
Our respiratory system is crucial for clearing our airways of excessive mucus and foreign matter, that’s why coughing is one of our most effective natural reflexes. However certain conditions affect the respiratory system so it does not function correctly. This can lead to a build of secretions within our lungs that make breathing increasingly laboured and increase the risk of infection.
Respiratory Physiotherapy incorporates a range of techniques tailored to your unique circumstances, to gradually improve respiratory function and improve your quality of life.
