<<First Name>> Do you know about Chest Physiotherapy for Babies?

Winter is knocking at the door, and many babies start to have colds and bronchiolitis. It can be very distressing for parents to see their loved one with breathing difficulties. They stop eating normally, they don't sleep well and medicine is not efficient as it is a virus.

So what can you do?
The safest, most natural and efficient treatment to clear mucus from the lungs or from the upper airways of a baby is Chest Physiotherapy.
Thanks to this gentle technique, your baby will be able to breathe in no time, and will recover much faster from bronchiolitis. With clear lungs and nose, he will then be able to eat and sleep better.

" Fact: The average illness time for a baby with cold or bronchiolitis is 15 days, The average illness time for a baby with cold or bronchiolitis treated with chest physiotherapy is 6 days "

At Baby Physio, all our paediatric physiotherapists are highly trained in France and use chest physiotherapy to treat babies.
