How does pulmonary rehab work?

Chronic lung disease can cause your muscles to become weak. The muscles involved in breathing and in moving must be re-strengthened. The patient will have their own exercise program designed to improve strength and endurance. The patient will receive education about the disease or condition which will help

To manage symptoms.
To deal with shortness of breath.
To best use respiratory medicines to treat the lung condition.
To use home medical equipment if it’s needed.
To make good nutritional choices and manage the weight, and diet.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation gives the best results if the patient continues to do the exercises and use the skills they learn long after the program is completed. Our team will design a long-term plan for the patient to follow.
