Breathing—a necessity for life—is something people tend to take for granted. But for people with respiratory ailments, such as emphysema, bronchitis, asthma, and pneumonia, every breath is precious. Respiratory therapy aims to help patients breathe easier through a variety of therapeutic treatments.
