Smoking is a leading cause of various health issues, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular problems, and musculoskeletal pain. The harmful chemicals in tobacco affect lung function, circulation, and overall mobility. Physiotherapy can aid smokers in managing conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), back pain, and poor posture. Through breathing exercises, postural correction, and strength training, physiotherapy helps smokers improve quality of life and reduce the impact of smoking-related health issues.
Causes:
- Inhalation of harmful chemicals (e.g., nicotine, tar)
- Decreased lung capacity and reduced oxygen supply
- Poor circulation and cardiovascular strain
- Muscle weakness and poor posture
- Increased risk of chronic diseases (COPD, heart disease)
- Inflammation and swelling in joints and tissues
- Stress and anxiety (related to addiction)
Symptoms:
- Shortness of breath or wheezing
- Chronic cough or sputum production
- Decreased exercise tolerance
- Back or joint pain
- Reduced mobility or flexibility
- Increased fatigue or lethargy
- Poor circulation (cold extremities, swelling)
