The Pulmonary Wellness Boot Camp: Virtual Solutions for Better Breathing
Most people breathe in and out quite effortlessly, whereas those suffering with chronic respiratory diseases tend to find almost every breath challenging. Diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and other forms of lung disorders, cause damage to the lung and, over time, tend to lead to decreased lung functioning, decreased exercise capacity, and significantly reduced quality of life. Pulmonary rehabilitation provides a broad-based approach towards addressing these impairments, bringing overall improvement to well-being while helping patients assume control of their lives.
What is Pulmonary Rehabilitation?
Pulmonary rehabilitation is an all-inclusive, multidisciplinary intervention intended to enhance the physical and psychosocial well-being of individuals with chronic respiratory diseases. Combining exercise, education, breathing techniques, and psychosocial support, it empowers patients with the skills and knowledge needed to manage their conditions better.
