Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Condition Specific Support

Provided by Interior Health

Provides education and rehabilitation for chronic respiratory conditions, utilizing group or individual counselling, focusing on self-management skills.
Topics include lung function, symptom management, energy conservation, medications, respiratory infections, environmental triggers, stress/anxiety and nutrition. Each program includes a component of graduated supervised exercise to build strength, balance, and cardiovascular health.

New program format for KGH:
  • We have now implemented a hybrid program that offers either in person classes or virtual classes for our clients. Both formats of this program are 8 weeks in duration, two classes per week, plus one education class each week.
  • Patients are triaged for either Level 1 group (more severe limitation in their activity tolerance) or the Level 2 group (participants who have either graduated from Level 1, or who have been assessed to tolerate a higher level of exercise intensity).
  • In person classes (depending on patient level) will take place at either the Rutland YMCA or H2O centre.
