The impact of your support

Our highly experienced, specialist physiotherapists assess people who
suffer from breathlessness from diseases including heart and lung disease and cancer and
who are referred to us by local respiratory consultants, respiratory nurses, and GPs. Our
therapists provide:

  • Lengthy, one-to-one treatment sessions, tailored to an individual’s needs, include breathing
    exercises and positioning; functional exercises; relaxation techniques and home programmes
  • Advice and support to make them more comfortable, increase their confidence, maximise their
    independence and improve their quality of life.
  • Support to help them manage the emotional challenges that so frequently come with living
    with a chronic condition.

The Outcomes of your support

  • Increased quality of life with less anxiety and more socialisation.
  • Better exercise tolerance allowing them to go about daily living more easily.
  • More controlled breathing when they are feeling breathless.
  • Increased confidence and self-esteem.
  • Reduced anxiety as they struggle less to breathe.
  • Increased independence – enabling them to live at home for longer.
