Pulmonary
Pulmonary rehabilitation
Pulmonary rehabilitation improves quality of life for people
with chronic lung conditions, such as asthma or emphysema, by
helping them to better manage their symptoms. Our 6-week program
includes exercise training, relaxation, strategies for carers,
energy conservation and education. Information about medication,
airway clearance techniques and the use of inhalers and oxygen
therapy is also included. For more information, please see our
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
brochure.
Pulmonary maintenance
People who have completed a Pulmonary Rehabilitation Outpatient
Program can return to complete a 12-month program which provides
weekly supervised exercise sessions. This maintains the benefits
gained from pulmonary rehabilitation and improves quality of
life.
