My husband has been referred, via his doctor, onto a six week course of pulmonary rehabilitation, two hours twice a week. He is being put through his paces with mobility improvement. After initial assessment - the first hour is concentrating on exercise to help strengthen legs and improve posture. The second hour is information relating to medical conditions ie, COPD, Asthma, etc and the benefits of exercise etc. It is beneficial to help him cope with his current conditions and importance of exercises he can do at home ideally. I don’t realistically see him continuing with these exercises once the course has finished, but it depends on the determination of the patient.
