Respiratory physiotherapy adapted for children 🫁

With babies and toddlers, "bouncing" and deep pressure are applied on the mat to loosen the thick mucus from the lungs. With older children, deep pressure is also applied on the mat, and playful breathing exercises are given to increase lung capacity, such as jumping on trampolines, blowing through a straw, blowing bubbles, etc.
