What do Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapists do?
Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapists (PTs) help patients with heart and lung conditions or recovering from critical illness improve their cardiopulmonary function, strength, and endurance through exercise and education.
They work with conditions like heart failure, COPD, asthma, and after surgery, creating tailored programs that may include endurance and strength training, as well as breathing and coughing techniques to enhance quality of life and physical activity.
Goals of their treatment Include Increasing cardiovascular and respiratory function, improving physical endurance and strength, enhancing mobility and flexibility, reducing the risk of complications and falls, and improving overall quality of life.
Assess and Treat: Evaluate a patient’s cardiovascular and respiratory systems and identify limitations in breathing, strength, and endurance.
Develop Exercise Programs: Design individualized exercise plans that incorporate aerobic activities, such as walking or cycling, to improve heart and lung function.
Teach Breathing Techniques: Instruct patients on methods such as pursed-lip breathing to manage shortness of breath and effective coughing techniques to clear the lungs.
Provide Strength and Flexibility Training: Incorporate strength training and stretching exercises to build strength, improve flexibility, and prevent injuries.
Educate Patients: Teach patients how to manage their conditions, modify lifestyle choices (like quitting tobacco use), and understand their disease.
Monitor and Adjust: Closely monitor vital signs, symptoms, and exercise responses to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the treatment plan.
Conditions they help
- Heart diseases (e.g., heart failure, angina, after heart attacks or surgeries)
- Lung diseases (e.g., COPD, cystic fibrosis, asthma)
- Individuals recovering from critical illness or intensive care
- Stroke patients

Electrophysiologic evaluations include, but are not limited to, electrodiagnostic testing, which includes clinical needle electromyography, motor and sensory nerve conduction studies, and other evoked potential procedures.
Ergonomics Physical Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251E1200X
A licensed physical therapist who has demonstrated specialized knowledge and skills pertaining to the workplace, occupational demands, prevention of work-related injury, management of the worker with job-related symptoms or participation restrictions, and provides individual, group, or population-level evaluation, intervention, and consulting to enhance worker performance.
Geriatric Physical Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251G0304X
A licensed physical therapist, including but not limited to an individual who is a Board Certified Specialist in Geriatric Physical Therapy, who has demonstrated specialized knowledge and skill in the comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment and evidence-based management of movement in aging adults.
This includes, but is not limited to, specialized knowledge in and consideration of regular age-related changes and pathological manifestations across all systems, as well as cognition and mental health, polypharmacy, fall risk mitigation, bone health, healthy and active aging, and socioeconomic and health policy issues affecting aging adults.
The geriatric physical therapist is an integral part of the interdisciplinary geriatric team, serving as an advocate for the highest level of well-being for older adults.
Hand Physical Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251H1200X
Hand physical therapists are certified occupational therapists (OTs) or physical therapists (PTs) with specialized training in the anatomy and function of the upper extremities.
They treat injuries and conditions affecting the fingers, hands, wrists, elbows, and shoulders using manual therapy, custom orthotics (splints), exercise programs, and pain/swelling management to restore function, strength, and range of motion, helping patients return to their daily activities and work.
Human Factors Physical Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251H1300X
Human Factors/Ergonomics (HFE) professionals utilize their expertise to optimize the design of systems, thereby improving user performance and well-being.
This can include applications in healthcare, such as enhancing patient safety and caregiver support.
Physical Therapists, on the other hand, are healthcare providers who focus on improving and restoring movement for patients with injuries, illnesses, or disabilities.
Neurology Physical Therapists
Healthcare Taxonomy Code 2251N0400X
A licensed physical therapist, including but not limited to an individual who is a Board Certified Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy, who has demonstrated specialized knowledge and skill in neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, including knowledge of central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems in populations with and without neurologic conditions; motor control and movement sciences in populations with and without neurologic conditions; behavioral sciences, including psychology and neuropsychology, and psychiatry; and medical management and pharmacology.
