Pulmonary Rehabilitation Services
At Bon Secours, our pulmonary rehabilitation program uses a number
of healthcare specialists to help people with breathing problems
improve their quality of living. By using several therapeutic and coordinated
approaches we help people breathe a little easier. These approaches include
exercise conditioning, strength training, breathing retraining, education
as well as, emotional support. Most importantly, our program encourages the
individual to take an active role in his/her healthcare.
Pulmonary rehabilitation offers patients a program to improve
his/her
quality of life by:
- helping to control and lessen the symptoms of breathing
problems;
- increasing the level of independence and physical activity;
- reducing the complications associated with breathing
problems;
- and, helping to reduce the need for hospitalization.
Individuals who participate with pulmonary rehabilitation often
have a better quality of life once they have completed the program. Many
are able to breathe better, they have increased strength and endurance,
many have returned to traveling, decrease their anxiety and/or depression,
prevent hospitalizations and possibly return to work. By being able to more
for themselves, self-confidence increases; people become more involved in
their care and live a more active lifestyle.
