CardioFlex Therapy is proud to endorse the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation! This Saturday, April 13th, as the Great Strides event comes to West Broward. We see first hand how patients with this condition improve their quality of life with physical therapy at our facility. Some of the treatments we offer for Cystic Fibrosis (CF): Manual Chest Physiotherapy. Manual chest physical therapy (CPT) is the traditional airway clearance technique for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The removal of obstructive, thick sticky secretions is important in preventing infections and helps ease breathing. For this reason, we stay involved in our community events helping our neighbors with these conditions, improving their quality of life and creating awareness.
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation was established in 1955 to assure the development of the means to cure and control cystic fibrosis (CF) and to improve the quality of life for those with the disease. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease affecting approximately 30,000 children and adults in the United States. A defective gene causes the body to produce abnormally thick, sticky mucus. This abnormal mucus leads to chronic and life-threatening lung infections and impairs digestion. Currently, there is no cure.
Great Strides West Broward is part of a nationwide event held throughout South Florida and raises money for cystic fibrosis research and care. Great Strides is open to everyone and attracts hundreds of walkers from various corporations and the local community.
