Pulmonary rehabilitation

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a six to eight week exercise and education program that teaches you the skills you need to exercise safely and manage your breathlessness.

Pulmonary rehabilitation helps you reverse the cycle of inactivity and make exercise a part of your daily routine.  You will learn to manage your lung condition by providing valuable information such as breathing techniques, using your medications, and strategies for conserving your energy.   

Research shows that pulmonary rehabilitation is one of the best things you can do to improve your breathing and wellbeing. It also reduces the frequency of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) exacerbations (flare-ups) and helps you stay well and out of hospital.
