Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a program that includes exercise, education and support. Also known as 'exercise training', it is a treatment for any chronic lung disease involving breathlessness and/or fatigue. A program usually runs once a week for 6-8 weeks and is run by physiotherapists. It can be done as an outpatient at a hospital or in the community. New research is investigating ways that pulmonary rehabilitation can be done by people in their own homes, i.e. "telerehabilitation".
