A course on respiratory rehabilitation for physiotherapists and logopedists is scheduled to begin February 12, 2026, in Roccapiemonte, Italy, with subsequent sessions on February 19 and 26, and March 5, according to a program released by Progetto Ippocrate.
The course, titled “La Riabilitazione Respiratoria,” aims to provide clinical and diagnostic pathways and rehabilitation profiles, and will award 18 ECM (Continuing Medical Education) credits upon completion. It’s organized by SILBA SPA, with contact information available for inquiries.
The program, developed under the scientific direction of Dr. Alessandro Vatrella, focuses on documentation within clinical practice. The course is accredited for both physiotherapists and logopedists, indicating a growing emphasis on interdisciplinary approaches to respiratory care.
Recent discussions at a medical event in Milan highlighted the increasing integration of respiratory physiotherapy and mindfulness practices into the overall management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Maria Dolores Listanti, a physiotherapist and mindfulness instructor with the Associazione pazienti BPCO, participated in these discussions, emphasizing the combined benefits of these approaches.
The focus on rehabilitation and integrated care aligns with broader efforts to address the systemic effects of respiratory pathologies, as outlined in educational materials from EDIAcademy. The EDIAcademy course aims to equip participants with key knowledge for managing respiratory physiotherapy, and exercise.
