Cardiorespiratory physiotherapy – South Physio Clinic

Why us?
The physiotherapists of South Physio Clinic have many years of clinical experience in England in the field of cardiorespiratory rehabilitation. It is worth noting that the staff has taught in Athens for two years, the course of cardiorespiratory physical therapy. Therefore, having worked in the Intensive Care Unit, and in complex rehabilitation areas, we can take on patients with cardiorespiratory needs and support them from the day they return home, until the day they can participate in general physical strengthening programs.

What to expect?
When a patient enters our facility, they will meet the South Physio Clinic team and then receive a detailed assessment of their cardiorespiratory needs. The cases we see in the initial stage of their recovery need physical therapy support at home. Because they usually have increased therapeutic needs, the South Physio Clinic team communicates frequently with the patient's nursing and medical staff.

There are times when we need to support patients around the clock, especially in cases where the patient has episodes of desaturation. We undertake physical therapy support for tracheostomy patients, and can support patients using oxygen, BIPAP/CPAP, and Cough Assist Machine. In cases where the patient is a cardiovascular disease, we offer physical therapy rehabilitation strictly based on protocols and in close collaboration with the supervising physician.
