The project “Let’s breathe! Dissemination of respiratory physiotherapy as a treatment for cerebral palsy” aims to disseminate respiratory physiotherapy as an adjunctive treatment in cerebral palsy, highlighting its benefits to improve the quality of life of those affected. Through accessible materials and a training day, it seeks to raise awareness and train both professionals and family members and caregivers in the application of these techniques.
This project is supported by the Association of People with Cerebral Palsy of Salamanca (ASPACE), the ASPACE Salamanca Foundation and the Neurorehabilitation research group of IBSAL.
