Course Description

The Advance Certificate in Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy is for those aspiring to enhance their management of patient with heart and lung related issues.

Shortness of breath associated with cardiorespiratory conditions and peripheral muscle weakness limits exercise capacity in patients with pulmonary and cardiac-related issues. Consequently, this reduces the daily physical activity levels, increasing the risk of developing severe complications and deaths.

A multidisciplinary approach partially reverses muscle weakness and dysfunction and improves the functional capacity of patients with chronic lung and heart disease.

With numerous cardiorespiratory conditions and the rise of Post Covid Syndrome, healthcare professionals must demonstrate core competencies in rehabilitating patients with pulmonary and cardiac-related issues.

The Advance Certificate in Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy course comprises multiple case presentations, lectures, and interactive elements that gives you a clinical perspective to theory and consequently improves the clinical outcomes of your patients.

The course highlights:

  • Common mechanisms limiting exercise tolerance
  • Effect of lung and heart disease on daily physical activity levels
  • Assessment tools and exercise protocols appropriate for patients with chronic lung and heart diseases.
  • Special considerations for patient with congenital heart disease, undergone recent chest surgery, and those with comorbidities.
