Percussion (Clapping) & Postural Drainage, also known as chest physical therapy (CPT), is a way to help people with respiratory issues breathe with less difficulty and stay healthy. Percussion and Postural Drainage use gravity and percussion to loosen the thick, sticky mucus in the lungs so it can be removed by coughing. Unclogging the airways is key to keeping lungs healthy.
