March 9-13 is Pulmonary Rehab Week! Pulmonary rehabilitation is a powerful, often underused therapy that can benefit people with chronic lung conditions.
In 36 sessions taking place over 12-18 weeks, pulmonary rehab programs offer support, education, exercise, and more. Benefits include increased energy, decreased breathlessness, and improved well-being overall.
Is pulmonary rehab right for you? This program particularly benefits individuals whose symptoms include shortness of breath, who feel their prescribed medication isn’t helping enough, and who are limited in their daily activities as a result.
Want to learn more? Check out “The Power of Pulmonary Rehab,” a special two-part podcast series from the Bronchiectasis and NTM Association and the COPD Foundation.
