Mucus3
Therapeutic drainage in bronchopulmonary diseases in which there is copious mucus secretion , such as chronic bronchitis , bronchiectasis, pulmonary abscess , or cystic fibrosis. (dictionary.net)
Postural drainage also should not be used for people whose lung condition does not involve excess mucus secretion. (msdmanuals.com)

Postural drainage is used to treat any condition that causes the build-up of secretions in bronchopulmonary segments. (wikipedia.org)
Postural drainage may be followed by breathing exercises to help expel loosened secretions from the airway, and coughing exercises to expel secretions. (wikipedia.org)
Postural drainage can also be very helpful to get secretions out in case you are suffering from quadriplegia and cannot cough forcefully. (spinalinjury.info)
Postural drainage uses gravity to assist in effectively draining and mobilizing loosened secretions from the smaller airways into the main airway, where they can either be coughed up or suctioned out. (afflovest.com)

Autogenic drainage3
In this study autogenic drainage was compared with the active cycle of breathing techniques (ACBT) together with postural drainage. (dearadamsmith.com)
However, more patients showed an improvement in forced expiratory flow, which ranged from 25% to 75% for autogenic drainage while others had an increase in forced vital capacity (ACBT). (dearadamsmith.com)
Therapy2
