🫁 Common Conditions Associated With Lung Cancer

Lung cancer does not only affect the lungs — it can lead to several secondary conditions that impact breathing, movement, and overall quality of life.

Common conditions include:

• Shortness of breath (dyspnoea) – due to reduced lung capacity or airway obstruction
• Chest infections – such as pneumonia from impaired airway clearance
• Pleural effusion – fluid build-up around the lungs causing breathing difficulty
• Persistent cough – often dry or productive
• Fatigue and deconditioning – related to cancer itself and its treatment
• Muscle weakness and weight loss – due to reduced activity and systemic effects
• Postural changes and chest wall stiffness – affecting breathing mechanics

Let's take a closer look at Lung Cancer!

What is lung cancer?
Lung cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the lungs, forming tumours that interfere with normal breathing and oxygen exchange. It is one of the most common and serious cancers worldwide.

⚠️ Risk Factors for Lung Cancer

While anyone can develop lung cancer, risk increases with:

• Smoking (active or passive/second-hand smoke)
• Exposure to air pollution
• Occupational exposure (asbestos, chemicals, dust)
• Previous lung disease (e.g. COPD, pulmonary fibrosis)
• Radiation exposure
• Family history of lung cancer

Physiotherapy supports individuals before, during, and after lung cancer treatment by:

✔ Improving breathing efficiency
✔ Reducing breathlessness
✔ Assisting with airway clearance

Physiotherapy works alongside medical and oncology care to help patients stay as active and independent as possible.

Physiotherapy is a vital part of cystic fibrosis care — helping patients clear their lungs, breathe easier, stay active, and maintain their health. With personalized airway clearance, proper inhalation techniques, and guided exercise, physiotherapists play a key role in improving daily life and long-term outcomes for people with CF.

Physiotherapy in Action: Chest Physiotherapy Techniques

Our team uses specialised techniques such as percussion, postural drainage, vibrations, and shaking to help clear mucus and improve lung function- especially for patients with respiratory conditions like Cystic Fibrosis, Bronchitis, or Pneumonia.

These hands-on methods support better breathing, easier mucus clearance, and overall lung health.

Because every breath counts💜

Spirometry testing is a simple, non-invasive way to measure how well your lungs are working. It helps to detect and monitor conditions like asthma, COPD, and other breathing disorders.

During the test, you’ll take a deep breath in and blow out as hard and fast as you can into a small device called a spirometer. This gives your physiotherapist important information about your lung capacity and airflow.

🫁Why it matters:
Regular lung function testing can help track your respiratory health, guide treatment, and support early detection of breathing issues.
At Mocke Group Physio, we use spirometry to help you breathe better, perform better, and live healthier.

Cystic Fibrosis affects more than just the lungs.
From breathing difficulties to digestive challenges, understanding the common conditions linked to CF helps raise awareness and support for those living with it.

At Mocke Physio, we’re passionate about helping every person breathe easier, move better, and live well — one breath at a time.

November Focus: Cystic Fibrosis Awareness

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition that mainly affects the lungs and digestive system. It causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the airways, making it difficult to breathe and increasing the risk of lung infections.

How Physiotherapy helps:
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in improving quality of life for people with CF. Through:
🫁Airway clearance techniques – to help remove mucus and make breathing easier.
🫁Breathing exercises – to strengthen the lungs and improve oxygen flow.
🫁Physical activity and exercise – to maintain fitness, build strength, and support lung health.
🫁Education and support – to empower individuals and families to manage symptoms effectively.

💪 Breathe better. Move better. Live better.
