Cardio-Pulmonary Physiotherapy
Cardio-pulmonary physiotherapy is an area of physiotherapy that specializes in the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with disorders of the heart, lungs and entire cardio-pulmonary system.
​
We believe in treating people using physical modalities. Here at Sachi, we combine exercise training with education. This may involve the use of manual techniques to clear infected mucus from a person and chest or using noninvasive ventilation to help a person breathe. Prescribing exercises to improve a patient's functional exercise capacity. Postural drainage techniques to help control symptoms of a patient’s present physical condition. Make daily activities easier and help breathing.
