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.
• Emotional Support: Coping with chronic lung disease can be difficult; PR provides education and encouragement.
