Pulmonary Fitness and Rehabilitation Program

Comprehensive Evaluation
The comprehensive pulmonary evaluation is a complete assessment of your lung condition. Our team will assist in defining your individual needs and goals.

• Pulmonary function tests, a diagnostic exercise test or an ambulatory oxygen test may be necessary to give a complete picture of you lung condition and to define your exercise limitation and treatment needs.
• The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Team will evaluate your exercise endurance, muscle strength, flexibility, and body composition to determine your baseline exercise prescription.
• Our respiratory therapists evaluate your breathing symptoms, medication use, breathing efficiency, and oxygen levels.
• In addition, nutrition, home environment, activities of daily living, and your specific concerns are addressed.
• There is emphasis on developing a Home Exercise routine for continued progress during and after the program.
• Your progress is discussed at the weekly Team Meeting with our Medical Director
