What is cardiao-respiratory physiotherapy?
Cardio-respiratory therapy is a specialized therapy that focuses on improving breathing technique and respiratory function. It is aimed at people who have problems with the heart and/or lungs, for example due to chronic respiratory diseases such as COPD, asthma or after lung surgery. The therapeutic measures include: breathing exercises such as special coughing techniques or the lip brake, drainage techniques to loosen mucus from the airways, thoracic mobilizations, whole-body movement therapy in the form of endurance and strength exercises.
Course of treatment & costs
Our collaboration begins with a history and physical examination. Based on this, we can set the therapy goals mentioned above and set up suitable measures. What matters is that you bring to us all relevant documents, if you have seen previously a doctor. In the course of this, it is decided how often and for how long physiotherapeutic support is recommended by us.

Indications
We treat you after an injury and if you already have musculoskeletal complaints. Ideally, we want to avoid surgical intervention by starting treatment at an early stage. At the same time, we use preventative approaches in our treatment plans to reduce the risk of a recurrence. However, many patients also come to us in advance in order to avoid injury or illness in the first place through certain examinations, performance analyses and therapeutic measures.​
