In this edition, we are excited to introduce our dedicated respiratory therapist, Maryann Mazzone, CRT SDS. With years of experience in the field, Maryann is ready to share valuable tips and guidance on maintaining optimal lung function, all through the lens of our comprehensive Pulmonary Program. Today, we dive into the world of asthma and explore practical advice on<\/span> how to breathe better with asthma.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Understanding Asthma:<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition that narrows the airways,<\/span> causing <\/span>shortness of breath<\/span> and making it difficult to breathe. An asthma attack can be triggered by various environmental factors like allergens, <\/span>air pollution<\/span>, respiratory infections, and physical activity. At Webster Park Rehab, we recognize the importance of understanding your asthma triggers and implementing tailored strategies to minimize their impact on your daily life.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Tips for Breathing Easier:<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

Know Your Triggers<\/span><\/b>: Identifying and avoiding your asthma triggers is crucial in preventing flare-ups. As an individual with asthma be sure to work with your healthcare team to develop a plan tailored to your specific needs.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Develop an Asthma Action Plan<\/span><\/b>: Create a written plan<\/span> that details the medications you are taking,<\/span> steps to follow during an asthma attack, and emergency contact information.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Regularly Monitor Your Breathing:<\/span><\/b> Regular check-ins can help in keeping your asthma controlled. Learn how to use a peak flow meter, which can provide valuable insight into your lung function <\/span>and <\/span>breathing rate.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Practice Correct Inhaler Technique:<\/span><\/b> Proper inhaler use is crucial for managing asthma. As part of our Pulmonary Program, Maryann will show you the right technique to ensure optimal medication delivery.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Embrace a Healthy Lifestyle:<\/span><\/b> Maintaining a balanced diet, staying active, and getting enough sleep can support overall health and improve your asthmatic condition.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Our Pulmonary Program:<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

Webster Park Rehab’s Pulmonary Program is designed to help individuals cope with respiratory conditions and achieve a higher level of independence. With Maryann as a guiding force, the program incorporates education, breathing techniques, and therapeutic <\/span>breathing <\/span>exercises<\/span> aimed to improve lung function.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/span><\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n
