Pulmonary rehabilitation is now recognised as one of the most effective and important treatments for people with COPD.

Studies have shown that it can have a significant effect in improving exercise performance (walking and cycling), breathing (less shortness of breath), psychological state (less depression and anxiety), fatigue and a patient's feeling of control over their disease.
