Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a comprehensive treatment programme that reduces breathlessness and helps patients rebuild their breathing capacity, stamina and quality of life after lung disease or a respiratory problem. It teaches people to bring shortness of breath under control and return to an active daily life, combining supervised exercise with breathing training and education. The programme suits people with chronic lung conditions such as COPD, asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema, those recovering after a chest infection such as pneumonia or COVID-19, and patients regaining strength after lung surgery, intensive care or a period on a ventilator. Many patients travel abroad for pulmonary rehabilitation to reach centres where oxygen monitoring, structured conditioning and a coordinated respiratory team come together under one roof. A concentrated programme over several weeks, away from everyday demands, often achieves faster and more measurable gains in breathing and endurance.
