What is Postural drainage?
Category: Physical Therapy
Postural drainage is an important way to treat bronchiolitis (swelling and too much mucus in the airways of the lungs). When you do postural drainage, you get into a position that helps drain fluid out of your lungs. This is commonly: sitting, lying on your back, or sitting with your head up.
