Cardio-respiratory physiotherapy

The cardio-respiratory branch of physiotherapy is widely unknown.

It can help on many different aspects like :

  • Improving pulmonary ventilation with positioning techniques, respiratory techniques and manual therapy
  • Improving thoracic expansion by relaxing muscles around the rib cage, the back and abdomen as well as mobilizing costal joints
  • 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

Reasons of consultation :

  • Pneumonia
  • Asthma
  • Cystic fibrosis
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Bronchial congestion
  • Cough
  • Pain while breathing
