Secretion retention. It's one of those things that quietly drives deterioration in your most vulnerable clients — and yet airway clearance remains one of the most underutilised tools in the community physio toolkit.
This topic presentation cuts through the complexity and gives you practical, evidence-informed techniques you can implement with your COPD, neurological, and aged care clients — in their homes, in residential facilities, and everywhere in between.
In this session you'll cover:

 

Why airway clearance matters — and how to spot when it's becoming a problem
A range of airway clearance techniques suited to the community setting
How to select, teach, and progress strategies based on your client's presentation and capacity

 

Because when airways are clear, everything else gets easier.
