pulmonary-rehabilitation
Pulmonary Rehabilitation is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary program designed to improve the quality of life for individuals with chronic respiratory diseases, such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, and other lung conditions. The program combines physical exercise, education, and breathing techniques tailored to each patient’s needs.
Pulmonary rehabilitation aims to improve lung function and overall well-being by focusing on physical conditioning, breathing exercises, education on managing respiratory conditions, and psychological support. The program is typically structured into individual and group sessions and involves:
- Exercise Training: Focuses on improving strength, endurance, and respiratory fitness.
- Breathing Exercises: Techniques like diaphragmatic and pursed-lip breathing that help reduce breathlessness and improve oxygen efficiency.
- Nutritional Guidance: A diet plan to enhance respiratory health and prevent complications like malnutrition.
- Psychological Support: Helping patients manage anxiety, depression, and stress associated with chronic lung diseases.
- Education: Teaching self-management strategies for long-term lung care.
