Pulmonary Rehabilitation
When you have some type of medical condition impacting your lungs, you logically want a team of experts who can help you breathe easier. You can access that care through the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at West Tennessee Healthcare.
Specialized Rehabilitation for Lung Health
If you’ve experienced some type of medical condition affecting your lungs, such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, or COPD, you may find yourself struggling to recover. Pulmonary rehab is specially designed to help patients with lung diseases and those recovering after lung surgery improve their quality of life and reduce their symptoms. Those experiencing lung issues following a COVID-19 diagnosis can also benefit.
During this outpatient program, participants take part in supervised and monitored exercise, paired with educational sessions about managing lung disease, breathing more efficiently, and improving well-being. Our goal is to equip you with the information and resources you need to live your best life.
Comprehensive Resources to Help Improve Quality of Life
Lung diseases and lung-related surgical procedures can impact the very essence of living—the way you breathe. Through the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, participants learn proper breathing techniques, steps for conserving energy in daily life, endurance exercises, and how to identify and respond to signs of fatigue.
Pulmonary rehab provides patients with a personalized strategy for breathing easier, with special attention on:
- Becoming more independent
- Decreasing symptoms
- Decreasing the risk of hospitalization and the need for emergency care
- Improving quality of life
- Increasing exercise tolerance
- Understanding your lung health condition
