Advanced Respiratory Therapy & Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Pune
The ability to breathe freely and deeply is fundamental to life itself. When a respiratory condition, a critical illness, or a neurological disorder compromises your breathing, it can be a frightening and deeply limiting experience. The simple act of walking across a room can feel like a monumental task, and the constant fear of breathlessness can control your life.
At Apricot Care in Pune, we believe that you can regain control. Our specialized Respiratory Therapy program is dedicated to helping individuals improve their lung function, manage chronic respiratory conditions, and breathe with greater ease and confidence. Our highly trained respiratory therapists work with you to strengthen your respiratory system, reduce breathlessness, and enhance your overall quality of life.
We provide a compassionate, one-on-one approach to care, creating a safe and effective plan to help you build endurance, conserve energy, and live more fully.

- Post-COVID-19 Recovery: For individuals struggling with lingering breathlessness, fatigue, and reduced lung function after a COVID-19 infection.
- Neurological Conditions: For patients whose respiratory muscles are weakened by conditions like Spinal Cord Injury, Muscular Dystrophy, ALS, or Guillain-Barré Syndrome.
- Post-Surgical Patients: Especially after major cardiac, thoracic, or abdominal surgery, to prevent lung complications like pneumonia and to recondition the respiratory system.

Our Comprehensive Approach to Respiratory Care
Your journey with us begins with a thorough assessment of your lung function, breathing patterns, and personal goals.
From there, we design a personalized therapy plan utilizing these core techniques.
Breathing Retraining & Efficiency Techniques
The foundation of respiratory therapy is learning how to breathe more efficiently to reduce the workload on your body.
- Pursed-Lip Breathing: This simple technique helps slow your breathing down, keep your airways open longer, and reduce the work of breathing, providing immediate relief from shortness of breath.
- Diaphragmatic (Belly) Breathing: We retrain you to use your diaphragm—the primary muscle of breathing—more effectively. This strengthens the muscle, reduces the effort of breathing, and improves oxygen exchange.
Advanced Airway Clearance (Chest Physiotherapy)
For patients who have difficulty clearing mucus from their lungs, our therapists use a variety of techniques to prevent mucus plugging and reduce the risk of chest infections.
- Postural Drainage: We use gravity to our advantage, positioning you in specific ways to help drain mucus from different parts of your lungs.
- Percussion and Vibration: This involves a therapist using cupped hands or a mechanical device to gently clap or vibrate your chest wall. This action loosens thick, sticky mucus, making it much easier to cough up.

Structured Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programs
This is a cornerstone of managing chronic lung disease. It's a medically supervised program that combines exercise training with education.
- Personalized Exercise Prescription: It may seem counterintuitive, but exercise is crucial. We design a safe and controlled exercise program (including walking, cycling) while closely monitoring your oxygen levels and heart rate. This builds your cardiovascular fitness and muscular strength, so your body uses oxygen more efficiently and daily tasks become easier.
- Strength & Endurance Training: We incorporate light resistance training for your arms, legs, and core. Stronger muscles require less oxygen to do their job, which reduces the demand on your lungs.
Patient & Family Education
Knowledge is power. We empower you to become an active manager of your own condition.
- Energy Conservation Techniques: We teach you how to structure your day and perform activities in ways that conserve energy and prevent severe breathlessness.
- Inhaler & Nebulizer Technique: We ensure you are using your prescribed inhalers and other respiratory devices correctly to get the maximum benefit from your medication.
- Oxygen Therapy Guidance: For patients on supplemental oxygen, we provide guidance on safe and effective use during rest and activity.
