Pulmonary Rehab is designed for those who suffer from emphysema, asthma or other chronic lung diseases. While these conditions can be limiting and difficult, exercise may help patients live richer and fuller lives. Pulmonary rehabilitation can help reduce hospitalizations and lessen respiratory symptoms, as well as increase self confidence and your ability to cope with chronic lung disease.
As a patient of BCH you will be instructed on breathing techniques with an emphasis placed on performing daily tasks.
A program of exercise and education is developed. Your heart, blood pressure and blood oxygen levels are carefully monitored and evaluated before, during and after exercise sessions and as needed. The program lasts eight weeks or 24 sessions, available to meet five days a week. Hours are flexible.
Just as in our Phase III Cardiac Rehab, this program is designed as a continuation of Phase II. You simply pay a monthly fee and continue to use our facilities with access to our staff for questions and help.
