Warning
Respiratory issues in muscle conditions can vary greatly between each child and each condition. It is therefore important that your child receives an assessment and care plan from a specialist physiotherapist which can help keep their lungs healthy and help them manage their breathing if they get a cold or infection.This leaflet looks at keeping healthy and good chest management; respiratory assessment; breathing exercises, equipment and devices; signs of a respiratory problem and breathing support.
