Specialist respiratory physiotherapy in Voorschoten
At Plexxus Lung Centre, we support people whose daily lives are affected by respiratory or breathing problems.
Your symptoms, physical condition and personal goals form the basis of your treatment. Together, we create an individual treatment plan to help you breathe more comfortably, move with greater confidence and regain control over your daily activities.
Our therapists have extensive experience in respiratory physiotherapy and offer both short-term treatment and longer rehabilitation programmes.
How we can help
Breathing and shortness of breath
We teach you breathing techniques that can help you breathe more calmly and efficiently and manage episodes of breathlessness.
Coughing and mucus clearance
If you have difficulty clearing mucus or suffer from persistent coughing, we can teach you techniques to clear your airways more effectively.
Strength and physical fitness
A personalised exercise programme can help you safely improve your fitness, muscle strength and ability to perform everyday activities.
Respiratory muscle training
Inspiratory Muscle Training, or IMT, specifically strengthens the muscles used for breathing in. This may help make breathing easier and reduce breathlessness.
Inhaler technique
Using an inhaler correctly is essential for your medication to work effectively. We can assess your inhaler technique and help you improve it.
Preparation for surgery
If you are scheduled for lung surgery or another operation involving the chest or abdomen, we can help you prepare by practising breathing and coughing techniques and improving your physical fitness.
Recovery after illness or surgery
We offer individual support during recovery from a respiratory infection, COVID-19, lung surgery or a period of reduced activity.
