4 Inherent Benefits Of Cardio-Respiratory Physiotherapy


Cardiorespiratory is the medical science of issues related to the lungs and heart. Some of the common cardiorespiratory diseases include Chronic bronchitis, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), Congestive heart failure, and Emphysema.

With regular and guided Physiotherapy, patients of these and other cardiorespiratory diseases can recover faster, and with more rigor and intensity.

In this article, we will share 4 inherent and very relevant benefits of Physiotherapy in Cardiorespiratory diseases and subsequent recovery.

Lung Capacity Enhanced & Improved

The biggest and most critical advantage of Physiotherapy in Cardiorespiratory is improving the functioning of lungs, and enhancing the lung’s capacity, which happens because of improved blood circulation.

There are specialized breathing exercises that enable improvement in lung capacity for cardiorespiratory patients.

Avoiding Lung Collapse

After some medical procedures such as general anesthetic during the treatment of cardiorespiratory diseases, excessive secretions can build up in the lungs, which can lead to lung collapse and difficulty in breathing.

Since lungs are overloaded with such secretions, the organs get insufficient oxygen, which leads to more complications.

With regular Physiotherapy, such secretions can be removed, and the patient will have to make less effort to breathe and progress fast on the recovery path.

Removing Mechanical Ventilation

For cardiorespiratory patients dependent on mechanical ventilation for getting oxygen, Physiotherapy can prove to be extremely beneficial.

With proper Physiotherapy exercises and breathing exercises, the patient’s lungs capacity is improved, and this leads to removal of the ventilation swiftly.

Physical Exercises Minimizes Cardiorespiratory Risks

If a person is physically fit and healthy, then it automatically minimizes the risks associated with cardiorespiratory conditions and is considered a powerful proactive strategy to mitigate risks.

By regular Physiotherapy, any person prone to cardiorespiratory diseases due to any genetic factor or work conditions can make their lungs and heart stronger, and thereby avoid any cardiorespiratory-related diseases.

Some Common Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy Exercises

Some of the most common physiotherapy exercises recommended for cardiorespiratory diseases include:

  • Deep breathing exercises
  • Breathing Facilitation Exercises
  • Hands-on exercises
  • Percussions and Vibrations
  • Coughing and breathing exercises
  • Breathing and circulation exercises
  • Mobility Assistance
  • Mobility Aids

The exact Physiotherapy exercises to be administered depend on various conditions such as the severity of the issue, the patient’s current status, present lung capacity, how far the patient’s day-to-day activities are impacted, and more.

It’s recommended that the patient is consulted by a professional Physiotherapist, who will properly examine the patient and depending on the condition, will suggest the best way forward.
