Pulmonary Rehabilitation Pulmonary Rehabilitation has consistently been shown to reduce the symptom of dyspnea in patients with chronic pulmonary diseases. The documented benefits are substantial and include decreased symptoms, improved quality of life, increased exercise tolerance, independence in activities of daily living and decreased utilization of medical resources. Pulmonary Rehab has traditionally focused on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it can also benefit patients with other conditions such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, neuromuscular disorders and lung cancer.
Under the direction of a physician, the Hillcrest Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program assists participants affected by pulmonary disease and asthma with better health and improved quality of life. Through individualized treatment plans consisting of education, exercise, breathing training and support skills, the Rehabilitation Program helps control the symptoms of pulmonary disease and asthma, and may enhance the participant's ability to return to a more productive lifestyle.
