Novel Physiotherapies and Physical Rehabilitation

Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation supports individuals recovering from heart and lung conditions through structured exercise programs, respiratory therapies, and lifestyle interventions. This session examines management strategies for conditions such as COPD, asthma, post-COVID complications, heart failure, post-cardiac surgery recovery, and coronary artery disease. Participants will learn evidence-based approaches involving aerobic conditioning, breathing exercises, pulmonary hygiene, strength training, and endurance building. The session emphasizes functional assessments, cardiovascular risk monitoring, and personalized progression plans that enhance heart-lung function and overall fitness levels. Integrated patient education on diet, stress management, and self-care will also be discussed. The objective is to empower patients with tools for long-term health improvement, reduced hospital readmissions, and enhanced quality of life.
