Articles and Publications

  • BreatheSuite developed a fully virtual pulmonary rehabilitation program led by doctors of physical therapy and respiratory therapists that a patient can participate in from home; this program incorporates best practices from traditional pulmonary rehab with cardiovascular and resistance exercise, breathing exercises, airway clearance techniques, flexibility, coordination, balance, medication management and education, and monitors progress with a variety of standardized outcome measures, an exercise tolerance test, with remote therapeutic monitoring of the patients vitals response and subjective reports virtually--this allows immuno-compromised patients and patients living outside a reasonable radius from an in-person rehab center to participate without having to leave their home to attend physical therapy. Dr. Nordin works closely with the patient's pulmonologist to provide comprehensive care regarding physical function, oxygen needs, airway clearance needs, medication compliance and has the unique ability to meet these patients virtually in their home setting weekly. The average rehab program length lasts 10-weeks and is completed 100% virtually from home. The virtual pulmonary physical therapy program includes direct evaluation and treatment by DPT, medication management and education by RT, educational modules specific to the patient's chronic lung condition delivered asynchronously online and virtual group sessions attended weekly where they can meet others living with and managing the same lung condition to address the psychosocial aspects to living with a chronic lung condition. Outside of BreatheSuite's program, she participates growing the next generation of physical therapists as an adjunct faculty instructor for Northern Arizona University, Creighton University, and Tufts University.

What do you attribute your success to?

  • "My continual drive and motivation to help people live a fuller life--that's where everything stems from. I have a natural desire to solve problems for people and to make a difference in people's lives, forming a personal relationship with each patient to meet them where they're at and create personalized treatment to better their lives in ways that are meaningful for them. Living with a chronic heart or lung condition can be daunting for most. I love to be able to empower them to understand it better and get back to life."

Get to know Physical Therapist Dr. Kali Nordin, who serves patients throughout the State of Arizona.

Kali is a skilled physical therapist and board-certified cardiovascular & pulmonary clinical specialist. She is currently a part of the coaching team at BreatheSuite, Inc. 

Since 2018, the primary goal of BreatheSuite has been to help people with respiratory problems live healthier lives. Dr. Nordin played an important role helping to develop BreatheSuite’s new virtual pulmonary rehab program which aims to capture all of the best-practices from in-person rehab to promote improved mobility and quality of life for those with lung conditions by reducing their symptoms and activity limitations through exercise and self-management education. In turn, this keeps their health condition as stable as possible to prevent and/or better manage future exacerbations and improve their overall quality of life.

At Northern Arizona University, Kali graduated with her Master of Science degree in Biology – Exercise Science, and her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2017. 

Certified through the Arizona State Board of Physical Therapy, her background is with managing a variety of heart and lung conditions, but most notably her time spent working alongside patients pre- and post-lung transplant. Her passion is centered around partnering, encouraging, and guiding patients with chronic heart and lung conditions to achieve a better quality of life.

On a professional level, Kali is an active member of the American Physical Therapy Association and participates as an adjunct instructor for several graduate level physical therapy schools throughout the state of Arizona.

Physical therapy (PT), also known as physiotherapy, is one of the allied health professions that, by using evidence-based kinesiology, exercise prescription, joint mobilization and health education, treats conditions such as chronic or acute pain, soft tissue injuries, gait disorders, and physical impairments typically of musculoskeletal, cardiopulmonary, neurological, and endocrinological origins. Physical therapy is used to improve a patient’s physical functions through physical examination, diagnosis, prognosis, physical intervention, rehabilitation, and patient education.
