Pulmonary rehabilitation is not just for the severely ill
Rehabilitation can work even if you're not severely ill, but you feel your disease is limiting you: you walk less, climb fewer stairs, go out less often, need to stop more often to breathe, and are more afraid of exertion.
Pulmonary rehabilitation doesn't cure lung disease or undo damage that's already happened, but it can help you get more out of what you can do today: become stronger, move more, function better, and reduce your risk of exacerbations and hospitalizations.
Why does it matter?
Rehabilitation can help you walk more, stop less often, and feel safer moving around.
For some lung diseases, especially COPD, research shows rehabilitation after an exacerbation can significantly reduce the risk of readmission.
You don't need to be fit to start. Rehabilitation is built gradually, based on your abilities and your health condition.
What does research show?
COPD
≈ 50% lessrisk of readmission after exacerbation
Pulmonary fibrosis & ILD
≈ 40m furtherin 6-minute walk test
Bronchiectasis
from 2 to 1fewer exacerbations per year, in one study
Pulmonary hypertension
≈ 65m furtherin 6-minute walk test in supervised programs
Transplant candidates
per 100m morelinked to shorter stay after transplant
After transplant
85 min/daywalking after structured training, vs. 54 without
