Pulmonary disease or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a disease of the airways in the lungs. It is a chronic respiratory disorder that progressively worsens lung function and limits airflow. It encompasses emphysema, chronic bronchitis and chronic asthma. A primary symptom of the disease is difficulty breathing.
It is the mission of our Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Program to provide individuals with cardiopulmonary disease in Montgomery County and N.W. Washington with a facility that addresses the daily problems they face as a result of their disease. Treatment consists of an individualized program of education and exercise. Participants learn about the heart and lungs and how to exercise with less shortness of breath.
We believe in empowering the patient and the family to "live and breathe" with cardiopulmonary disease. Our program in Pulmonary Physical Therapy strives to utilize state of the art technology and evidence based practice.
