Pulmonary Rehabilitation
A personalised exercise and education programme designed to help people with long-term respiratory conditions improve their breathing, increase physical activity and regain confidence in everyday life.
Who is it for?
Pulmonary rehabilitation combines supervised exercise, breathing retraining and practical education to reduce breathlessness, improve fitness and support long-term self-management.
This programme supports
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
- Asthma
- Bronchiectasis
- Recovery following pneumonia or chest infection
- Interstitial lung disease (where appropriate)
- Persistent breathlessness and reduced exercise tolerance
- Deconditioning following illness or hospital admission
Your programme, step by step.
Every pathway begins with a full clinical assessment, then supervised sessions built around your goals.
Initial Clinical Assessment
- Comprehensive medical and respiratory history
- Medication and inhaler review
- Exercise and activity history

- Exercise tolerance assessment (treadmill or cycle ergometer protocol)
- Oxygen saturation monitoring (where appropriate)
- Goal setting
- Individualised exercise prescription
- Education on breathing techniques, pacing and self-management
- Written rehabilitation plan and personalised recommendations
Supervised Rehabilitation Sessions
- Review of symptoms and progress
- Oxygen saturation and heart rate monitoring where appropriate
- Supervised aerobic exercise
- Strength and resistance training
- Functional exercise training
- Breathing techniques
- Pacing and energy conservation strategies
- Exercise progression based on individual response
- Education and lifestyle support
- Goal review and programme progression
How we monitor your progress
Progress is tracked with validated clinical outcome measures to keep your programme safe, effective and tailored to you.
