Pulmonary rehabilitation
Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a treatment programme for people who are having difficulty managing symptoms associated with a breathing problem.
Problems such as cough, shortness of breath and repeated chest infections can be managed with a combination of education and exercise. This is provided through PR. You might be referred for this by a GP or practice nurse, or your local respiratory service.
PR is usually run for groups of 8-16 people and will typically last 6-8 weeks. The sessions are held in hospitals, community halls, leisure centres and health centres.
