What is the Bronchiectasis?

Bronchiectasis is a lung condition whereby the airways widen and scar resulting in the reduced effectiveness to clear mucus. Trapped mucus promotes bacterial growth and this can lead to repeat infections and further damage. These changes result in a productive cough, wheeze, fatigue and shortness of breath which can impact on socially occasions and reduce physical ability when exercising or playing hobbies.

Take a Breath Physio, supports you with education if newly diagnosed, ongoing self-management to clear your chest and manage your secretions. Education about maintaining lung health and support you to reintroduce exercise and return to the things you love most.
