Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Pulmonary RehabilitationThe Respiratory Care Team is comprised of licensed Respiratory Therapists who provide a combination of patient education and regular monitored exercise in one-on-one sessions to patients with chronic lung disease. Topics of interest include:

  • Controlling shortness of breath
  • Bronchial hygiene
  • Diet and nutrition
  • Energy conservation
  • Stress management
  • Respiratory re-training
  • Self-care at home

During hour-long sessions, our staff works with patients to perform arm and leg strengthening exercises and to use endurance-building machines such as a treadmill, stationary bicycle, and rowing machine.
