In recent few years World has been facing a catastrophe known as COVID 19 a hazardous respiratory and multisystemic disease claiming millions of deaths all around the Globe and the count is still increasing. Chest physiotherapy technique is based on the theory that when several areas of the chest and back are percussed, shock waves are conducted through the chest wall, slackening the airway secretions. The present study was undertaken to see effects of physiotherapy sessions on pulmonary functions of post COVID patients. In this hospital based cross sectional study a sum of 51 patients were observed for the outcomes. Patients coming to the institute with sign and symptoms of COVID in second wave from March 2021 to September 2021 with RTPCR positive report and having CT involvement more than 60% (CT score 15) were assigned. Patients with a negative report by 15 days were selected for present study after written and informed consent. These selected patients were undergone physiotherapy sessions and pulmonary function testings as per study protocol. Considering the results of spirometry except FEV1 rest other parameters like FVC, FEV1/FVC, FEF 25-75% and PEFR were not significant even after 15 days of extensive physiotherapy. These results were suggestive of positive effects of chest physiotherapy training on post COVID patients after a minimum of 30 days training. CONCLUSION - Hence from the present study this can be concluded that physiotherapy helps in improving the pulmonary function tests in post COVID patients at least after a 30 days of training session.
