For people with chronic lung disease, even the simplest day-to-day activities can be a challenge. LifeBridge Health’s Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program helps you overcome these hurdles by providing a supportive place to understand your diagnosis, learn techniques for easier breathing and build the confidence to live more independently.
You may benefit from pulmonary rehabilitation if you have:
- Asbestosis
- Asthma
- Bronchiectasis
- Chronic bronchitis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Cystic fibrosis
- Emphysema
- Interstitial lung disease
- Lung transplant-related issues
Our program is guided by a range of specialists. Together, they lead weekly education and exercise sessions, along with nutrition and emotional support, to help you improve your quality of life.
Exercise
Many people with chronic lung disease avoid activity because they fear shortness of breath. But regular, gentle exercise can help you control your breathing and support both heart and lung function.
In our program, you take part in weekly exercise routines tailored to your needs. Activities may include:
- Walking
- Stationary bicycling
- Low-impact aerobics
These movements support strength, endurance and comfort.
