Understanding Lung Health: The Foundation of Respiratory Wellness
The lungs are vital organs responsible for oxygenating blood and removing carbon dioxide. Proper functioning of the respiratory system underpins overall health and physical performance. Several factors influence lung health, including environmental exposures, lifestyle choices, genetics, and underlying medical conditions.
Healthy lungs facilitate efficient gas exchange, support energy levels, and enable participation in sports and physical activities—core service aspects of Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy at Hello Physio. Maintaining lung health and seeking expert intervention when breathing issues arise can significantly improve quality of life.
