Area of Expertise

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Dr Heenaa Mackasare manages patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, interstitial lung disease, post-COVID lung damage and persistent breathlessness requiring structured lung capacity restoration.

She designs and delivers pulmonary rehabilitation programmes incorporating breathing exercises, graded physical conditioning and lung volume restoration techniques to improve functional endurance.

Critical Care Chest Physiotherapy

Heenaa treats ICU and ventilator dependent patients requiring intensive airway clearance, secretion mobilisation and early physical rehabilitation to reduce ventilator dependency.

She performs chest physiotherapy, postural drainage, manual secretion clearance and progressive mobility protocols for multi-system stabilisation in critical care settings.

Post-Infectious Lung Recovery

Dr Mackasare manages patients recovering from severe pneumonia, COVID-19 and other respiratory infections with residual lung restriction and reduced exercise tolerance.

Treatment includes targeted breathing retraining, chest expansion techniques and graded reconditioning to restore functional tissue elasticity and oxygen saturation levels.

Respiratory Device Therapy and Biofeedback

She assesses patients with reduced lung volumes and ineffective breathing patterns requiring device assisted respiratory training and biofeedback correction.

Interventions include instruction and monitoring using spiroballs, triflow incentive spirometry, respirometers and positive expiratory pressure devices to optimise alveolar aeration and gas exchange.

ICU Early Mobility and DVT Prevention

Dr Heenaa manages prolonged ICU patients at risk of muscle deconditioning, joint stiffness and deep vein thrombosis from extended bed rest.

She formulates active and passive mobility regimens, limb exercises and early ambulation protocols to restore physical independence and reduce systemic complications of immobility.
