Pulmonary rehabilitation is a structured program designed to help individuals with chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or asthma), improve their overall health and quality of life. The program typically includes exercise training, education about lung health, and support for managing symptoms.
Participants work with a team of healthcare professionals, including respiratory therapists and physiotherapists, to develop personalized plans that focus on improving physical fitness, breathing techniques, and coping strategies. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance daily functioning and reduce hospital visits for those with respiratory conditions.
