Physio

[anonymous]

How often do you guys do Physio? Just curious. Do Physio 4 my daughter twice a day before her neb treatment, about 20 mins each time. Do you find you benefit if you increase Physio when you have an infection or are unwell?

Grateful for any advice.

I think the "norm" is to do it twice daily. That is what I do as a maintenance thing, but if I am actually sick &/or in the hospital it gets boosted to a minimum of 3 times a day. If I am really sick it has gone up to 4 times a day until I am more stable. I use the vest at home, but in an ideal situation would prefer the manual clapping. Point is that after 12 hours I am in need of it again thus the twice daily for me!

Two times a day when I'm well. Plus exercise.
And up to 3-4 times a day when I'm sick.

2 times a day for 30 mins when I'm not sick, and 3-4 times a day for 45 mins when I am sick.

Ditto to what everyone else says. Seems 2X is the average if you're well, though I didn't start doing it more than 1X a day until AFTER I cultured pseudo. They said it would have been "good" to do it more, but not necessary.

For my 5 year old son, 4 times a day- when doing ok, every four hours around the clock when sick. He has ALWAYS done 4 times a day, 2 with the vest and 2 with hand percussion.
