告別打呼與昏沉，物理治療幫您改善睡眠呼吸中止症?

你是否常感到白天昏沉、疲憊，晚上卻因為自己打呼而被吵醒？即便戴著呼吸器（CPAP），早上醒來還是感覺沒有休息好？甚至覺得自己「呼吸也在胖」，每次吸氣都覺得沉重、費力？這些都可能是你的睡眠呼吸中止症尚未完全改善的徵兆！

物理治療可以幫助改善呼吸中止症嗎？

很多人認為只有呼吸器才能解決問題，但事實上只要透過正確的運動訓練，我們可以幫助你增強呼吸肌的控制力、改善氣道穩定性，讓你獲得更加深沉且有質量的睡眠。

物理治療如何幫助你改善睡眠呼吸中止症？

改善頸部與呼吸肌張力：放鬆過度緊繃的頸部肌群，提升橫膈膜活動度，讓呼吸更加順暢。
優化舌頭與口腔控制：通過特定訓練，幫助穩定舌根，減少睡眠時氣道塌陷的風險。
建立正確的呼吸模式：學習鼻式呼吸與深層橫膈膜運動，幫助氣道保持開放，提升氧氣交換效率。
提升核心與姿勢穩定：透過核心控制訓練，改善睡眠姿勢，減少氣道塌陷的風險。

物理治療適合哪些人呢？

有打呼困擾，甚至影響到家人

已經戴著呼吸器（CPAP），但仍覺得睡不飽、白天昏沉

睡眠中常常憋氣、突然驚醒

嘴巴習慣性開口呼吸，影響氣道穩定

醫師診斷有輕中度呼吸中止症，但不希望完全依賴機器

感覺自己「呼吸也在胖」，每次吸氣都覺得沉重或費力

做了物理治療後，身體會有哪些具體的好處？

改善睡眠品質：呼吸更加順暢，睡眠變得更深沉，早晨醒來感覺精神充沛！

白天不再昏沉：提升睡眠效率，減少白天的疲勞與嗜睡感。

減少打呼與憋氣：夜間呼吸變得穩定，減少對呼吸器的依賴。

增強肺活量與體力：改善氧氣交換，提升運動耐力與體能。

提升專注力與情緒穩定：睡得更好，大腦運作更順暢，減少焦慮與易怒的情緒。

降低長期健康風險：減少心血管疾病、高血壓等與睡眠呼吸中止相關的健康風險。

不進行物理治療，可能會有哪些壞處？

睡眠品質持續低落：即使戴著呼吸器，若氣道與呼吸肌問題未解決，睡眠仍然淺薄，容易醒來。

白天疲勞、精神不濟：長期睡眠中斷，會影響專注力，甚至影響日常生活。

打呼與憋氣惡化：氣道問題未解決，打呼可能變得更嚴重，影響到家人的睡眠。

影響呼吸器效果：若氣道控制能力不足，可能即使戴著CPAP，呼吸仍然不順暢。

提高心血管疾病風險：長期的睡眠呼吸中止症會增加高血壓、心律不整等風險。

情緒不穩、焦慮增加：缺乏高品質睡眠會影響大腦運作，增加焦慮、憂鬱及易怒情緒。

物理治療技術有哪些？

DNS（動態神經肌肉穩定術）：透過發展動作模式訓練，提升核心控制與呼吸協調。

呼吸技巧訓練：優化鼻式呼吸與橫膈膜運作，改善氣道穩定性。

SCS（拮抗鬆弛術）：針對過度緊繃的肌群，進行神經肌肉誘發放鬆，改善呼吸張力。

靜脈技術：促進血液循環，幫助頸部及呼吸相關肌肉的代謝與放鬆。

改善呼吸，從物理治療開始！

如果你或身邊的家人正面臨這些困擾，不妨嘗試專業的物理治療，找回高品質的睡眠，讓白天充滿活力，生活更加精彩！

英文原文:

Say goodbye to snoring and drowsiness, physical therapy helps you improve sleep apnea.

Have you ever experienced feeling sluggish and tired during the day, but being woken up at night by your own snoring? Or even when using a CPAP machine, do you still feel like you haven’t had a restful sleep? Do you feel like you’re “breathing while gaining weight,” with every breath feeling heavy or labored? These could be signs that your sleep apnea hasn’t been fully addressed!

Can Physical Therapy Help with Sleep Apnea?

Many people think that only a CPAP machine can solve the problem, but in reality, with the right exercise training, we can help you improve the control of your respiratory muscles and enhance airway stability, leading to deeper, more restorative sleep.

How Can Physical Therapy Help You?

Improve neck and respiratory muscle tension: Relax tight neck muscles and increase diaphragm mobility, making your breathing smoother.

Optimize tongue and oral control: Specific training to stabilize the tongue root, reducing the chance of airway collapse during sleep.

Establish proper breathing patterns: Learn nasal breathing and deep diaphragm exercises to keep your airways open and improve oxygen exchange.

Enhance core and posture stability: Your sleep posture affects airway patency; core control training can help reduce airway collapse during sleep.

Who Can Benefit from This?

Those who snore, disturbing themselves or others.

Those already using a CPAP machine but still feel tired or groggy during the day.

Those who experience frequent breath-holding or sudden awakenings at night.

Those who habitually breathe through their mouth, affecting airway stability.

Those diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnea but don’t want to solely rely on a machine.

Those who feel like they’re “breathing while gaining weight,” with every breath feeling heavy and difficult.

What Benefits Can You Expect After Physical Therapy?

Improved sleep quality: Breathing becomes smoother, and your sleep deepens, leaving you feeling refreshed in the morning!

No more daytime fatigue: Better sleep efficiency reduces feelings of tiredness and sleepiness during the day.

Reduced snoring and breath-holding: Nighttime breathing becomes more stable, decreasing reliance on a CPAP machine.

Increased lung capacity and physical strength: Improved oxygen exchange through breathing exercises enhances endurance and physical performance.

Better focus and emotional stability: With improved sleep, your brain functions more efficiently, reducing anxiety and irritability.

Reduced long-term health risks: Helps lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and stroke related to sleep apnea.

What Are the Risks of Not Doing Physical Therapy?

Continued poor sleep quality: Even with a CPAP machine, if airway and respiratory muscle issues are not addressed, sleep may still be shallow with frequent awakenings.

Daytime fatigue and mental fog: Chronic sleep disruption can affect focus and impact work and daily life.

Worsening snoring and breath-holding: Airway issues left unresolved may cause snoring to worsen, affecting the quality of sleep for both you and your loved ones.

Reduced effectiveness of the CPAP machine: If airway control is weak, even with a CPAP machine, breathing may still be obstructed due to tongue collapse or improper breathing patterns.

Increased cardiovascular risks: Chronic sleep apnea can increase the risks of high blood pressure, arrhythmia, heart attacks, and more.

Emotional instability and anxiety: Lack of quality sleep can impair brain function, leading to higher levels of anxiety, depression, and irritability.

What Physical Therapy Techniques Are Used?

DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization): Develop movement patterns to enhance core control and breathing coordination.

Breathing technique training: Optimize nasal breathing and diaphragm function to improve airway stability.

SCS (Neuromuscular Relaxation Techniques): Use neuromuscular-induced relaxation to release tight muscles and improve breathing tension.

Venous techniques: Improve blood circulation to help with muscle metabolism and relaxation, particularly in the neck and respiratory muscles.

Start Improving Your Breathing with Physical Therapy!

If you or your loved ones are dealing with these issues, consider trying professional physical therapy to restore quality sleep and boost your energy during the day!
