PULMONARY REHABILITATION
Pulmonary Rehabilitation is a medically supervised program that helps people diagnosed with lung problems manage their breathing through exercise and controlled breathing techniques. It also helps them recognize symptoms and improve general health and conditioning.
Our pulmonary medicine and rehabilitation program is a restorative and preventive process for patients with chronic respiratory diseases. As lung function declines, shortness of breath worsens, and independent daily activities become increasingly difficult. Pulmonary Rehabilitation provides training to improve patients’ ability to manage and cope with their limitations.
Pulmonary medicine and rehabilitation services include critical components of assessment, physical reconditioning, skills training, and psychological support.

- Asthma
- Chest Wall Diseases
- Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
