Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy

Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy focused on improving the health and function of the heart and lungs. It plays a vital role in the rehabilitation of patients suffering from respiratory or cardiovascular conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, heart failure, and those recovering from cardiac surgeries.

This therapy involves techniques such as breathing exercises, airway clearance methods, chest physiotherapy, aerobic training, and patient education to enhance lung function, improve oxygen intake, reduce breathlessness, and strengthen the cardiovascular system. The goal is to improve overall endurance, physical activity levels, and quality of life, while reducing the risk of complications and hospital readmissions.
