CardioFlex participates at Cystic Fibrosis Foundation event


CardioFlex Therapy is proud to participate and support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation of South Florida. 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.

Cystic Fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that primarily affects the lungs and digestive system. An estimated 30,000 children and adults in the U.S. have the disease. The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with the disease the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, promoting individualized treatment and ensuring access to high-quality, specialized care.

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s Fort Lauderdale’s Finest Gala honors our area’s top young professionals for their outstanding contributions to the community and their fundraising commitment to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

For more information, contact Stephanie Wilson at 954-739-5006. This Gala will take place on June 2nd at 7:00pm, at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina, 1881 SE 17th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL, 33316.
