PULMONARY & CARDIO REHAB
We work closely with pulmonologists and cardiologists in close proximity to Wilgers hospital. We offer rehabilitation for patients with chronic lung conditions, eg asthma, emphysema (COPD), chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis.
Pulmonary rehab includes education and advice regarding oxygen therapy, inspiratory muscle training, chest clearance techniques in the event of excessive secretions, as well as progressive exercise programs. These exercise programs include specific muscle strengthening program and a walking program for cardiovascular fitness. * Exercise is medicine *
Our aim is to improve people’s quality of life by:
- education regarding effective management of their energy expenditure
- managing breathlessness by teaching you effective breathing techniques and resting positions
Other Respiratory conditions:
- Acute and chronic sinusitis
- Bronchitis in adults and children
- Pneumonia in adults and children
