Pulmonary Rehabilitation is for people living with chronic lung diseases who are limited by symptoms such as breathlessness. It is a programme of individually prescribed exercise and education to support long term behaviour change and self-management.
The aim of pulmonary rehabilitation is to make it easier for someone to do their activities of daily living and reduce symptom burden.
What are the benefits of attending Pulmonary rehabilitation?
The benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation last beyond the completion of the programme, evidence has suggested that they can last for over 12 months, even longer if you continue to exercise.
Contact your GP or other health care professional and ask them to refer you.
