Physiotherapy Class: Pulmonary Rehab

Beacon Hospital’s Pulmonary Rehabilitation is a broad program, focusing on those patients who have chronic, ongoing breathing problems.

For example, this programme helps those who suffer from COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), Sarcoidosis, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, or Cystic Fibrosis. In addition to these conditions, those who have undergone lung surgery or are due to have lung surgery, can benefit from this service too.

Though this rehabilitation class cannot replace medical therapy, it can be used alongside medical therapy.
