Cardiopulmonary physiotherapy is a specialized field that focuses on improving heart and lung function through exercise, education, and therapeutic techniques. It is commonly used for patients recovering from conditions such as heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, or after cardiac surgery.
The goal of cardiopulmonary physiotherapy is to help patients improve their aerobic capacity, endurance, and overall fitness. This is achieved through targeted exercises, breathing techniques, and patient education on lifestyle changes that support heart and lung health.
Cardiopulmonary physiotherapy plays a crucial role in helping patients regain independence, reduce symptoms, and improve their quality of life by restoring optimal cardiovascular and respiratory function.
