Postural Drainage
Postural Drainage is a physiotherapy technique used to assist in the mobilization and clearance of respiratory secretions by positioning the patient so gravity can help drain mucus from different areas of the lungs. It is commonly incorporated into respiratory physiotherapy and rehabilitation programs, where specific body positions are selected according to the targeted lung region and the patient's clinical requirements. The technique can be combined with other respiratory physiotherapy methods, such as controlled breathing and chest physiotherapy, under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.
Postural Drainage is intended for patients with respiratory conditions involving retained airway secretions, as part of a respiratory physiotherapy or rehabilitation program. It is suitable for use by physiotherapists and other qualified healthcare professionals who can select appropriate positions according to the patient's respiratory needs.
