Abstract

Background : Bronchial asthma is described as a persistent inflammatory 
condition that disrupts the airways and respiratory system, leading to infrequent 
occurrences of wheezing, difficulty breathing, chest constriction, and coughing. 
The disease is on the rise globally; it is estimated that approximately 14% of 
children have experienced asthma symptoms that affect their activities of daily 
living. Purpose: This study aimed to explore bronchial asthma in children and 
the role of physical therapy in its management. Methods: The published studies 
in PubMed, LILACS, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library Scholar that 
studied bronchial asthma were reviewed with the following keywords: 
obstructive airway disease, breathing exercise, inspiratory muscle training, 
physical training, and physical therapy in children. Studies that aligned with the 
scope of the current research were included, while those that did not align were 
excluded. Results: The recommended treatment of bronchial asthma is divided 
into 5 main categories that are widely used, like inspiratory muscle training 
(IMT), breathing exercises, manual therapy, stretching exercises, and physical 
training. Conclusion: The reviewed studies highlight that the management of 
bronchial asthma can be effectively addressed through four primary physical 
therapy approaches: inspiratory muscle training (IMT), breathing exercises, 
manual therapy, stretching exercises, and physical training. The literature review 
highlights the importance of these methods as complementary interventions in 
the comprehensive treatment of bronchial asthma
