Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Rehab is a team approach to improving the health of people with chronic pulmonary disease, which combines exercise with educational programs to help improve day-to-day activities and improve quality of life. People diagnosed with COPD such as emphysema, asthma and chronic bronchitis benefit most from pulmonary rehabilitation.
Benefits Include:
- Enhanced ability to perform activities of daily living
- Reduced occurrence of respiratory symptoms
- Improved feelings of control over COPD with less anxiety and depression
- Reduced frequency of hospitalizations
- Increased knowledge of your disease and how to manage it
