Department of Cardiovascular & Respiratory Physiotherapy

The Department of Cardiovascular & Respiratory Physiotherapy focuses on the prevention and rehabilitation of cardiac and pulmonary conditions through evidence-based physiotherapy practices. The department provides students with a strong understanding of cardiopulmonary physiology, exercise tolerance, and respiratory function to support effective assessment and rehabilitation planning. Students are trained to manage a wide range of cardiovascular and respiratory conditions including cardiac diseases, chronic respiratory disorders, and post-operative cardiothoracic rehabilitation. Through structured academic learning and supervised clinical exposure, the department emphasizes therapeutic exercise programs, breathing techniques, and pulmonary rehabilitation strategies that improve endurance, respiratory efficiency, and overall functional capacity.
