Pulmonary rehabilitation is a program of education and exercise classes that teaches you how to manage your COPD.  It teaches you about your lungs, how to exercise and how to do activities with less shortness of breath, and how to live better with your lung condition. Pulmonary rehabilitation is now recognized as one of the most effective and important treatments for people with COPD, helping to improve quality of life and keep people out of hospital.
