- Improving the breathing pattern to have an optimal and harmonised breathing pattern
- Releasing pulmonary secretions with manual techniques, breathing techniques and different types of cough
- Improving cardiorespiratory endurance with a progressive and adapted program, often in collaboration with kinesiologists
- Decrease pain following a cardiac or pulmonary surgery
