Cardiac & Pulmonary Physiotherapy for Heart and Lung Conditions
ReLiva provides personalised cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation to help people recover after heart procedures, manage lung conditions and breathlessness, and improve strength, exercise capacity and confidence in everyday activities.
Pulmonary Physiotherapy: Respiratory Rehab Programme
Pulmonary rehabilitation is a personalised programme for people whose lung or respiratory conditions cause breathlessness, reduced exercise tolerance or difficulty with everyday activities. At ReLiva, physiotherapists assess your breathing, mobility, strength and exercise capacity and create a rehabilitation programme suited to your condition and current fitness level.
ReLiva’s pulmonary physiotherapy may help people with COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis and other chronic respiratory conditions, as well as those recovering from prolonged illness or hospitalisation. Treatment may include breathing exercises, graded aerobic exercise, strengthening, airway-clearance techniques where appropriate, energy-conservation strategies and education to help you manage breathlessness and physical activity.
For people who find it difficult to step out because of breathing problems, ReLiva’s dedicated RespiRehab programme provides online pulmonary rehabilitation at home, with expert guidance to manage respiratory symptoms and improve exercise capacity.
“I used to get breathless walking a few steps, and I’d even blacked out once. After ReLiva, I can climb steps without losing my breath.” — Anil Rao, COPD Treatment
Cardiac Rehab Programme
Cardiac rehabilitation is a structured programme of exercise, education and lifestyle support for people recovering from heart disease, cardiac procedures or surgery. At ReLiva, our physiotherapists assess your physical capacity and develop a personalised rehabilitation plan to help you gradually rebuild strength, exercise tolerance and confidence in everyday activities.
ReLiva’s cardiac rehabilitation may support recovery after a heart attack, angioplasty, CABG (bypass surgery) or other cardiac procedures. Depending on your condition and medical advice, physiotherapy may include monitored or graded exercise, strengthening, mobility training, breathing exercises and guidance on safely increasing physical activity.

Sudden symptoms need emergency care: Sudden chest pain or pressure, pain spreading to the arm, jaw, neck or back, sudden severe breathlessness, fainting, or blue lips or fingertips can be signs of a heart attack or a serious breathing emergency. Call 112 (or 108 for an ambulance in many states) or go to the nearest hospital emergency department straight away. Physiotherapy supports recovery once the person is medically stable and cleared by a doctor.
Cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation should begin only with your doctor’s clearance. Timing depends on your condition, procedure and recovery progress. Our physiotherapists work alongside your treating doctor’s advice at every stage.

- Anil Rao
I have had COPD for many years. I used to get very breathless, feel tired in walking even few steps. I even got hospitalized for a week after I lost breath and blacked out while shopping in the market. After discharge, I started treatment with ReLiva My sessions with ReLiva have helped me immensely in stabilizing my breathing pattern. I even went outside home after months, for a short walk in the garden with Dr. Kashmira. At the end of my therapy, I am able to Climb steps without losing breath
COPD Treatment - Vikas Salunke
I'm grateful to the Dr. Ashwini Sahasrabuddhe (PT), for the online RespiRehab program. With initial treatment of few exercise sessions only I started feeling the difference. I already have a history of lung disease, the virus further affected my breathing problem. Doctor gave me the sessions according to my condition. From regular sessions of workouts I am feeling so much better now. Doctor did a great job. I can highly recommend this to others. Thanks a lot!

CABG - Cardiac Rehab - Sangeeta Bele
I was hospitalised for 23 days. When I was admitted I was suffering from breathing problem. After 23 days my second test came negative and I got discharged. But I couldn't take breath without oxygen cylinder. Then doctor suggested me to take online physiotherapy class to improve my breathing problem. We contacted Reliva. They give a good treatment, which is easy and so impactful to increase my breathing power. I had 10 sessions and within these, I started reducing use of oxygen cylinder. Now i can breathe without oxygen cylinder, thanks to Reliva who gave me a good n healthy life style. And definitely i suggest to my family members or my friends to take this benefit from Reliva's Rehab Programme. Thank you Dr Huda for wonderful support 🙂

Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start cardiac rehab after a heart attack or bypass surgery?
Cardiac rehabilitation can begin early after a heart attack or bypass surgery, but only after your treating doctor gives clearance. Timing depends on your condition, procedure, complications and recovery. At ReLiva, our physiotherapists work alongside your treating doctor or cardiologist, keeping them updated on your rehabilitation progress at every stage.
Is pulmonary rehab safe for severe COPD?
Pulmonary rehabilitation can benefit people with severe COPD when appropriately assessed and supervised, but it is not suitable during an acute or unstable exacerbation. Your respiratory physician should determine when rehabilitation can safely begin. At ReLiva Physiotherapy & rehab, our pulmonary physiotherapists coordinate with your treating pulmonologist or doctor and keep them informed about your progress throughout rehabilitation.
How soon should physiotherapy start after ICU discharge?
Physiotherapy can start soon after ICU discharge once you are medically stable and your treating doctor has cleared rehabilitation. The programme may address weakness, mobility, breathing, endurance and functional independence. Timing and intensity depend on your diagnosis, ICU stay, oxygen requirements, complications and recovery progress.
What is the cost of cardiac and pulmonary physiotherapy in India?
The cost varies by location and rehabilitation needs. At ReLiva, the initial physiotherapy assessment typically costs ₹500–₹750, while subsequent treatment sessions generally range from ₹500–₹1,750 per session. Fees may vary based on treatment complexity, therapist expertise, location and whether sessions are provided at home or in a clinic.
When can online pulmonary rehabilitation be done?
Online pulmonary rehabilitation can be suitable for people with chronic breathlessness, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, ILD and other respiratory conditions when they are medically stable and cleared for rehabilitation. It can include breathing exercises, aerobic conditioning, strengthening and energy-conservation techniques under physiotherapist supervision. Your treating doctor and pulmonary physiotherapist can determine whether online or home-based rehabilitation is appropriate.
When should I seek emergency care instead of physiotherapy?
