Cardiac rehabilitation is a complex, interprofessional intervention customized to individual patients with various cardiovascular diseases such as:
Neurological physiotherapy treats patients with neurological conditions, which are movement and functional disorders caused by impairments affecting the brain, spinal cord and the nervous system.
Many patients with neurological conditions struggle with a loss of range of motion or function, muscle weakness, decreased balance and stamina, which may severely affect their daily routines. Targeted to improve strength, movement, balance and coordination, neurological physiotherapy works by stimulating the nervous system through various activities and exercises. Not only does neurological physiotherapy help with a patient's mobility related disorders, it also helps them gain a better outlook and confidence on their conditions by improving their overall quality of life through:
Orthopaedic physio treats any condition related to bone, muscle and joint problems. Sports physio is more specific treatment for an injury occuring from overuse or trauma from athletic activity.
Paediatric musculoskeletal problems are pain or damage to children’s bones, joints and muscles. Musculoskeletal problems are more common in children than people think. They can often have a big effect on children as their bodies are still growing and developing. Musculoskeletal problems can also be very restrictive as children are generally very active.
Musculoskeletal problems can be caused in several different ways. Some children may have a congenital problem which means they are born with a condition. Another factor is often the growth and development of the child
which can cause pain as the body changes shape. It is also common for a child to simply injure themselves through activity.
Types of musculoskeletal problems can include:
A set of interventions that are particularly developed to minimize the disability and restore the normal functioning in the patient is called rehabilitation. When the patient recovers from the novel coronavirus infection and experiences residual symptoms, rehabilitation can be a key strategy to minimize the impact of COVID-19 on the body functions and health of the individual. And, it is important to note that physiotherapy plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation efforts in all stages to facilitate early discharge, support the patient, and improve his physical and psychological abilities. Also, it reduces the risk of readmission.
Geriatric Physiotherapy or Geriatric rehabilitation is the branch physiotherapy that deals with managing physical problems in elderly people. It mainly focuses on people in the process of ageing.

The main problems found on assessment of a patient who has had major surgical procedure is reduced lung volume[8]. This could result in impaired gas exchange and airway clearance[8]. Other cardiovascular and respiratory effects are reduction in functional residual capacity, PaO2, VO2Max, cardiac output and stroke volume, and an increase in HR[8]. Thus the aim of the physiotherapist is to try and improve these problems.
