Pulmonary Rehab
The Respiratory Care and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program establishes attainable goals for your treatment and rehabilitation.
Our program will help you improve your breathing and overall health. Your custom-designed program will include a mulitfaceted approach to combat the progression of your lung disease. Our unique treatment methods will increase your exercise capacity, reduce your shortness of breath, and help you lead a more active life.
We customize a Plan of Care just for YOU!
After our team’s initial assessment and diagnostic testing, we will design a personal Plan Of Care for your rehabilitative treatment. The program is limited in the number of patients that can attend each session so that we can assure that you have your own individual therapist.
Our therapists will guide you through every step of the way with the goal of increasing your independence and improving your health and wellbeing. You will be trained in therapeutic exercises that you can use in the clinic and at home in your daily activities. Typically, you will be scheduled for three appointments
a week for 2-3 hours each, for 12 weeks. Your treatment will be evaluated monthly and modified based on your response to the therapies. Attending every scheduled session is important to your success!
The therapists don’t just help you learn to live with your condition, they actively work to promote your recovery while closely monitoring your progress.
Your active participation in the Respiratory Care & Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program will provide you measurable results, increase your strength and exercise capacity, reduce your shortness of breath and increase your healthcare knowledge.
