Cardiopulmonary physiotherapy

Cardiopulmonary physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on treating patients with heart (cardiac) and lung (pulmonary) conditions to improve their respiratory function, cardiovascular endurance, and overall physical capacity.

How can we help with Cardiopulmonary physiotherapy ?

• Conditions treatedinclude chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pneumonia, post-COVID recovery, heart surgeries, heart failure, and cystic fibrosis.
• Goals: Improve breathing, enhance lung capacity, boost heart function, increase stamina, and promote independence.
• Common techniques:
  • Breathing exercises (e.g., diaphragmatic and pursed-lip breathing)
  • Chest physiotherapy (e.g., percussion, vibration, postural drainage)
  • Airway clearance techniques
  • Endurance and aerobic training
  • Education on energy conservation and lifestyle changes

Cardiopulmonary physiotherapy is essential for helping patients breathe easier, improve quality of life, and regain physical activity levels safely.
