Pulmonary Rehabilitation programmes vary:
- Some ask you to attend twice a week for around 6 weeks.
- Some ask you to attend once a week for around 10 weeks.
- The exercises will be tailored to your abilities and you will be supervised and encouraged by the team on what you can achieve.
- You will be advised to you carry out the pulmonary rehabilitation exercises 3 times a week. This means you will need to do some exercises at home. When you do this, you will feel yourself getting stronger and feeling less breathless.
