“You get really big wedges and lots of pillows and you build stuff”!

In this episode we discuss one of Kim’s favourite subjects – the use of physiotherapy in patients with breathing or heart problems.

Kim also fills us in on her background in human healthcare. You can read more about this here.

There are a number of medical words mentioned. Here are most of them – please feel free to ask if you don’t understand any of it!

  • Respiratory: refers to the breathing system
  • Cardiac = heart
  • Pulmonary = lung
  • Pneumonia = inflammation of the lungs, typically due to infection
  • COPD = Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. A group of long-term lung conditions that cause breathing difficulties.
  • Bronchitis = inflammation of some of the airways
  • Trachea = windpipe
  • Megaoesophagus: the oesophagus (‘food tube’) is the tube that leads from the back of the mouth to the stomach. Food passes down the oesophagus after being swallowed. Megaoesophagus refers to an abnormal big distended oesophagus.
