Respiratory gymnastics at the third stage of medical rehabilitation of patients with bronchopulmonary pathology in the conditions of the Burabay medical and wellness complex
Published by : Милана
✅Breathing exercises as an important component of rehabilitation
The third stage of medical rehabilitation is aimed at consolidating the achieved treatment results, restoring the functionality of the respiratory system, improving physical performance and preventing repeated exacerbations of diseases. In the conditions of the Burabay medical and wellness complex, due to the favorable climate, coniferous air and an integrated approach to recovery, respiratory gymnastics is one of the most effective methods of non-drug rehabilitation of patients with bronchopulmonary pathology.
Regular breathing exercises help to improve lung ventilation, increase chest excursion, strengthen respiratory muscles, facilitate sputum discharge and reduce shortness of breath. In addition, breathing exercises improve blood oxygen saturation, increase exercise tolerance and have a beneficial effect on the psychoemotional state of patients.
Three simple exercises:
1. Diaphragmatic breathing
Purpose: to improve ventilation of the lower lungs and strengthen the diaphragm.
Execution technique:
* Starting position — sitting or lying down.
* Place one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach.
Inhale slowly through your nose, making sure that only your stomach rises.
Exhale slowly through slightly closed lips, pulling in your stomach.
Duration: 8-10 breathing cycles, 2-3 sets.
Effect: reduction of tension of the respiratory muscles, improvement of oxygen saturation of the body.
2. Exhale through closed lips
Purpose: to reduce shortness of breath and improve lung emptying.
Execution technique:
Take a calm breath through your nose for 2 seconds.
* Fold your lips into a tube.
Exhale slowly for 4-6 seconds without exerting excessive force.
Duration: 8-10 repetitions.
Effect : prevents the collapse of small bronchi during exhalation, facilitates breathing and promotes better gas exchange.
3. Lifting the arms with breathing
Purpose: to improve chest mobility and respiratory coordination with movements.
Execution technique:
* Starting position — standing or sitting.
* As you inhale through your nose, slowly raise your arms up through the sides.
* Exhale slowly through your mouth and gently lower your arms.
Duration: 8-10 repetitions.
Effect: increases the excursion of the chest, improves ventilation of the lungs and promotes relaxation of the respiratory muscles.
✅Recommendations for implementation
It is recommended to perform breathing exercises 1-2 times a day in a well-ventilated room or outdoors under favorable weather conditions. All exercises should be performed without significant fatigue, at a slow pace and under control of well-being. If you experience dizziness, increased shortness of breath, or pain, you should stop exercising and inform a healthcare professional.
Conclusion
Respiratory gymnastics is an affordable, safe and effective method of recovery of patients with bronchopulmonary pathology at the third stage of medical rehabilitation. In the conditions of the Burabay medical and wellness complex, its combination with physical therapy, climate therapy, dosed walking and other recreational activities helps to improve the function of external respiration, increase physical activity, quality of life of patients and reduce the risk of repeated exacerbations of respiratory diseases.
