The Importance of Pulmonary Rehabilitation

What is Pulmonary Rehabilitation?

Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a comprehensive program designed to improve lung health and overall quality of life for people with chronic lung conditions such as COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, or post-COVID complications.

What Does PR Involve?

  • Exercise Training: Builds endurance and strengthens breathing muscles.
  • Nutritional Counseling: Supports overall lung and body health.
  • Breathing Strategies: Techniques like pursed-lip breathing help patients cope with shortness of breath.
