Essentially, cardiopulmonary physiotherapy are interventions to rebuild and optimise the functions of our heart and lungs. Patients who suffer from symptoms of heart and lung diseases don't have to live with the limitations or restrictions of activity due to breathlessness and fatigue, let's dig into this!

Stroke is an abrupt interruption of constant blood flow to the brain that causes loss of neurological function. The interruption of blood flow can be caused by a blockage, leading to the more common ischemic stroke, or by bleeding in the brain, leading to the more deadly hemorrhagic stroke.

Moderate to severe traumatic brain injury can result in prolonged or permanent changes in a person's state of consciousness, awareness or responsiveness. Different states of consciousness include: Coma. A person in a coma is unconscious, unaware of anything and unable to respond to any stimulus.

These are the most common symptoms of acute spinal cord injuries:

Muscle weakness.
Loss of voluntary muscle movement in the chest, arms or legs.
Breathing problems.
Loss of feeling in the chest, arms or legs.
Loss of bowel and bladder function

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a supervised medical program that helps people who have lung diseases live and breathe better. You may need pulmonary rehabilitation if you have a lung disease such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). During the program, you will learn exercises and breathing techniques.
