Rameetse Physio - Services

Cardiorespiratory rehabilitation is a type of physical therapy that is designed to help individuals who have been affected by cardiovascular or pulmonary conditions. These conditions can include conditions such as heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and others. These conditions can lead to a range of impairments such as shortness of breath, fatigue, weakness and difficulty with activities of daily living.

Rameetse Physio can provide a comprehensive approach to cardiorespiratory rehabilitation, which may include:

Assessment and diagnosis: A physical therapist will perform a thorough examination to identify the specific impairments and underlying causes.
Treatment and management: This may include a variety of techniques such as exercise training, breathing techniques, education on the use of assistive devices such as oxygen tanks and inhalers, and education on self-management and lifestyle changes.
Rehabilitation and recovery: This includes developing and progressing an individualized rehabilitation program to help the patient regain strength, endurance, and function.
Prevention and education: Physical therapists will also educate patients on how to prevent future exacerbations and manage their condition through self-care and lifestyle changes.

It is important to note that cardiorespiratory rehabilitation should be individualized and tailored to the specific needs and goals of each patient. It is also important to note that a physiotherapist will refer to other medical professionals if necessary.

Cardiorespiratory rehabilitation may require a team-based approach with other healthcare professionals such as Cardiologists, Pulmonologists, and Respiratory Therapists to achieve the best possible outcome.
