Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chest physical therapy (CPT or Chest PT) is an airway clearance technique (ACT) to drain the lungs, and may include percussion (clapping), vibration, deep breathing, and huffing or coughing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chest physiotherapy, also called postural drainage, is a way for you to help your child get rid of extra mucus in his or her lungs. This is important because too much mucus can block the airways in the lungs. If the airways are blocked, the air cannot move in and out like it should.

Detailed explanation-3: -By combining chest percussion with vibrations and postural drainage, these techniques work together to help break up and move mucus upward, where it’s easier to expel from your airways.

Detailed explanation-4: -Percussion (Clapping) & Postural Drainage, also known as chest physical therapy (CPT), is a way to help people with respiratory issues breathe with less difficulty and stay healthy.
