ABOUT THE SPECIALISATION
Advanced Learning in Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physiotherapy
The Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Physiotherapy specialisation, also known as Cardiorespiratory Physiotherapy, at Navodaya College of Physiotherapy, Mahabubnagar, focuses on advanced postgraduate education, clinical assessment, rehabilitation and professional development.
The specialisation develops an understanding of conditions affecting the heart, lungs and circulatory system. Students study the principles of assessment and physiotherapy management for individuals with respiratory disorders, cardiovascular conditions and post-surgical complications.
The programme emphasises cardiopulmonary assessment, respiratory care, exercise tolerance, airway clearance techniques, cardiac rehabilitation, early mobilisation and evidence-based physiotherapy interventions.
