Pulmonary Rehabilitation
Helping patients with chronic breathing problems get back to living life.
If you have chronic breathing problems, tasks in your everyday life can be hard to do. Prairie Ridge Health’s pulmonary rehabilitation program can help you get back to doing what you love, with more strength, endurance, knowledge and confidence.
Our pulmonary rehabilitation program is centered around exercise, education, creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Our Team will help you understand your lung condition and how to manage it. We will work together to create your personalized plan, starting you at an exercise level that is right for you. You will attend pulmonary rehab two times per week and your exercises may include chair exercises, riding on a stationary bicycle, walking on a treadmill, and working with hand weights.
The benefits from our pulmonary rehab include:
- Better quality of life: Regaining the confidence to do what makes you happy can help you live life more fully.
- Increased activity: Improving your respiratory strength and endurance can help you become more active and stay healthy.
- Healthier living: Learning how to manage your lung issues can mean you’ll have fewer symptoms, complications and hospitalizations.
