Rapid Physiocare Singapore Upgrades its Suite of Treatments with the Inclusion of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Therapy

Taking it to Heart
Cardiopulmonary physiotherapy is a sub-specialty that specialises in treating patients who suffer from cardiopulmonary disorders, such as conditions pertaining to their circulatory (e.g. heart) and respiratory systems. Recognising that it is vital to take proactive measures towards prehabilitation and recovery, Rapid Physiocare launched its new cardiopulmonary rehabilitation service. This new service will be led by senior principal physiotherapist Pradha Rajoo, who will employ her 18 years of experience in physiotherapy to provide the utmost well-rounded care.
Tailored to Fit Every Individual
Rapid Physiocare provides a personalised, one-on-one approach to cardiopulmonary rehabilitation treatment. As such, this new service is designed to help individuals to rebuild and optimise the functions of our heart and lungs. While the core of the CP rehab is exercise training, a variety of techniques such as stress management, education on risk factors and lifestyle( e.g. smoking cessation and diet), psychosocial support are also part of a comprehensive CP rehabilitation. Most of these recommendations require individually tailored plans targeted at the patients’ unique circumstances and personal capacities. The one-on-one sessions with experienced physiotherapists allow them to monitor and alter the intensity of exercises according to each patient’s unique needs. What’s more, patients will gain a deeper understanding of their body’s limits and potential even after they exhibit a particular condition, enabling them to exercise safely on their own with confidence.
Holistic Care, All in One Clinic
With shockwave therapy, post-operative rehabilitation, chronic disease management, exercise prescription, and paediatric physiotherapy already in the repertoire, Rapid Physiocare hopes that with the inclusion of cardiopulmonary rehabilitation treatments, it will be even better equipped to help patients achieve optimal physical health and wellness.

On April 18th, He Chunni, Deputy Director of the Foreign Economic Office of the Xiamen Municipal Bureau of Commerce, Xie Xin, Class-III Consultant of the Foreign Trade Department, and Xie Xiaofang, Class-III Consultant of the Customs Coordination Division, led a delegation to Hong Kong, attended the exhibition, and visited the “BRAND XIAMEN” exhibition area, launched by the Xiamen Municipal Bureau of Commerce during the second phase of the Global Sources Exhibition in Hong Kong.
“BRAND XIAMEN” Ignites the Stage
To support outstanding Xiamen enterprises, the “BRAND XIAMEN” delegation set up two thematic exhibition areas in Halls 1 and 2, focusing on “Smart Home & Appliances” and “Lifestyle x Fashion,” showcasing the strong capabilities of Xiamen enterprises in these fields. In Hall 11, nine selected “BRAND XIAMEN” enterprises participated in a promotion seminar, introducing their companies’ and products’ advantages and unique features to buyers and industry peers.
Enterprises Unleash the Power of BRAND XIAMEN
Over the years, the Xiamen government has actively encouraged local enterprises to explore international markets. Supporting enterprises to participate in various exhibitions and connect with high-quality international buyers through exceptional platforms is one such endeavor. The “BRAND XIAMEN” was held with this purpose in mind. The Xiamen Municipal Bureau of Commerce has provided comprehensive preferential support for export enterprises focusing on developing their own brands in recent years, aiming to leverage their proprietary brands as a vehicle to accelerate the “Go Global” process for Xiamen’s leading enterprises.
The two “BRAND XIAMEN” events drew to a spectacular close, with Xiamen enterprises making an impressive return to the international exhibition stage and setting sail for success.
