Achieve Increased Independence

Our staff of highly trained and experienced medical professionals work together to achieve one common goal: Helping you regain your independence and get back to the daily routine you enjoy.

Do you struggle with daily activities because of breathing difficulties?

When it’s hard to breathe, you’re naturally less active, which in turn makes your symptoms worse.  But you can reclaim a higher level of activity with pulmonary therapy.

At Lung & Wellness Centers, we strive to help you get back to your optimal activity level. Through breathing retraining, disease management strategies, and strength and endurance training, you can achieve significant health improvements and enhanced quality of life.

How will pulmonary rehabilitation help?

The benefits of pulmonary therapy are proven. Patients who undergo therapy show great progress with:

  • Enhanced activity levels
  • Greater independence
  • Better quality of life
  • Improved lung disease management
  • Less shortness of breath and fatigue
  • Fewer infections
  • Fewer hospitalizations and setbacks
  • Reduced social isolation

What kind of treatments should I expect?

Creating your individualized treatment plan for your specific needs is a team effort at Lung & Wellness Centers.  This is because chronic lung disease affects your entire body. Our respiratory therapists, physical therapists, pulmonologist and your family doctor or surgeon join forces to develop a program that will help you reach your goals.

Your plan will include several or all of these:

  • Exercise/Strength Training
  • Education
  • Breathing retraining
  • Emotional support
  • Stress and anxiety management
  • Infection prevention strategies 
  • Smoking cessation support

I was referred here after experiencing blood clots in my lungs. Every therapist knew my medical history and what I needed. They challenged me and they taught me to challenge myself to do more.
