Cardio-Respiratory Physiotherapy

Cardio-Respiratory Physiotherapy focuses on the assessment and treatment of patients with conditions affecting the heart and lungs. It aims to improve breathing efficiency, enhance cardiovascular endurance, and promote overall functional independence. Therapeutic techniques include breathing exercises, airway clearance methods, chest physiotherapy, aerobic conditioning, and patient education on lifestyle modification. The main goal of cardio-respiratory physiotherapy is to optimize lung function, improve exercise tolerance, reduce breathlessness, and enhance the quality of life for individuals with respiratory or cardiac challenges.

For patients with heart and lung conditions to improve endurance and breathing:

  • Cardiac rehabilitation (post heart surgery or attack)
  • COPD, asthma, and bronchitis management
  • Breathing exercises and chest clearance techniques
