The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Workshop
The workshop, which is run under the managerial responsibility of Internal Medicine A, the Physical Therapy Service, and the out-patient clinics’ nursing staff, is intended for chronic lung disease patients whose physicians have recommended they undergo a rehabilitation process to improve their condition. The purpose of rehabilitation is to reduce the symptoms, improve physical strength and ability to participate in day-to-day activities, which improves quality of life. This is done through physical training, nutritional consulting, teaching patients about their disease, learning how to reduce shortness of breath and more.
