Cardio-respiratory

Cardio-respiratory physiotherapy focuses on the treatment and management of people with cardiovascular and respiratory problems. 

These conditions include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), surgery or a condition requiring a stay in intensive care.

You will be assessed and an individualised treatment programme agreed with you based on the outcome of the assessment and your individual goals.

The aims of treatment are to;

• Facilitate airway clearance (removal of excessive secretions)
• Reduce work of breathing
• Promote self management through advice and education
• Optimise mobility and functional independence

Cardiorespiratory physiotherapy can also include;

• Pulmonary rehabilitation which promotes health and well being through advice, education and exercise for people with long term breathing conditions
• Airway clearance techniques including postural drainage.
