Pulmonary rehabilitation is a far-reaching treatment incorporating exercise, education and behavioural intervention to help those with chronic lung disease. Pulmonary rehabilitation helps people suffering from Chronic Pulmonary Obstructive Disorder (COPD), long COVID, post-intubation symptoms and much more to enjoy an improved quality of life and function.
Pulmonary rehabilitation may incorporate minor, moderate or intensive activity programmes. Programmes include training, health education, breathing techniques, nutritional guidance, and smoking cessation support to name a few.
Clinical evidence shows that treatment outcomes are best when treatment is administered by an MDT incorporating a variety of practitioners. At Faircape Health, we bring together healthcare professionals from different fields to collaborate on treatment plans for optimal clinical outcomes in the sub-acute and outpatient care settings. Primary and allied healthcare practitioners combine their specialities to administer the most comprehensive treatment plans available.
Our pulmonary rehabilitation treatment regimens do not focus exclusively on disease, but rather on optimising wellness, and function. Following an initial complex assessment, the treating physiotherapist will develop a custom-tailored treatment plan to improve quality of life, exercise tolerance and overall physical functioning for optimal outcomes.
