For individuals who suffer with a chronic lung disease, there is hope for a more full and active life through pulmonary rehabilitation. Pulmonary Rehab may be recommended for patients with lung disease who experience shortness of breath or hypoxia (low blood oxygen levels) frequently and are not able to perform daily activities despite daily use of medication. Pulmonary Rehab is well-researched with benefits across the scope of lung conditions including COPD, asthma, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, and post-COVID-19 respiratory dysfunction.
Through our pulmonary rehab program, we work with you to improve lung function, reduce symptom severity and improve quality of life.
Our skilled rehabilitation staff provide education and an individualized exercise program to increase awareness about your lungs and your disease. Our goal is to maintain or increase your overall activity tolerance with less shortness of breath. The skills, exercises and knowledge obtained through the program will help you better manage your chronic lung disease and may even decrease the need for hospital visits.
Patients can participate in pulmonary rehab by obtaining a referral from their primary care provider or pulmonologist.
