title: [Chest congestion and respiratory therapy in the elderly].
abstract: In geriatrics, the usual approach is "primum non nocere":"first do no harm". Physiotherapists must adapt the techniques and exercises they use to the clinical situation of each patient. Close collaboration with the doctor enables care to be modified in accordance with the development of the symptomatology and the therapeutic objectives.
