Asthma, a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, is caused by narrowing of the airways in the lungs. The symptom that is most common in asthmatics is „wheezing“ in the lungs, and other common symptoms are shortness of breath, coughing and chest pressure. Inflammation in asthma is chronically present in most cases, but asthma often manifests clinically in attacks or episodes. Asthmatic episodes are the result of narrowing of the airways, ans can be triggered by certain triggers – specific or non-specific. According to the classification, it can be determined whether it is occasional asthma or permanent asthma, which is divided into three more degrees of severity, i.e. mild, moderate and severe. Also, there are several clinical forms of asthma that are the result of the influence of various triggers. There are also diagnostic tests that are used in asthma to assess the patient's breathing and also to monitor the effectiveness of the asthma treatment itself. Controlling inflammation is at the heart of asthma treatment. Although there is no specific cure for asthma, there are a number of different pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. Pharmacological treatment, which is defined by the GINA guidelines, depends on the degree of asthma control. In non-pharmacological treatment, the most notable is physiotherapy, the essects of which can have extremely good results, given that most asthmatics have a dysfunctional breathing pattern and poor physical condition. The goal of physical therapy is to enable the patient to live a normal life and to prevent the progression of the disease. Avoiding certain triggers and educating the patient about asthma can also help asthmatics control their symptoms. The first contact with the patient is a physiotherapy intervention. As one of the best solutions for asthma control, breathing exercises and physical actibity can be taken, before the treatment of which instructions from a physiotherapist are required. In addition to conducting breathing exercises, physiotherapists also prescribe physical training to asthmatics in order to improve their condition and cardiorespiratory performance, reduce symptoms and improve their quality od life. In addition to breathing exercises and physical training, it is necessary to maintain airway hygiene through postural drainage, percussion and vibro-massage od the chest. In addition to all that, it is also important to completely relax the muscles, that is, relaxation, which controls the „hunger for air“. Lack of education and concern about the effectiveness of treatment can lead to poor control of asthma symptoms, which is why it is necessary to follow the instructions given by the physiotherapist and adhere to the further treatment program.
