What is Telehealth Pulmonary Rehab?

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a clinically proven approach for managing chronic lung disease symptoms, supporting recovery after respiratory procedures, and enhancing overall quality of life. Telehealth pulmonary rehab delivers this care through a secure, two-way interactive online platform. It has been shown to be just as effective as in-person programs in helping patients achieve the outcomes respiratory specialists aim for.

Who Is This For?

Breathe Better Rehab is ideal for individuals with chronic lung conditions like COPD, asthma, or pulmonary fibrosis who want to manage symptoms and improve their quality of life from home. It’s especially helpful for those recovering from lung procedures or facing challenges with transportation, mobility, or medical equipment.

This program was developed by a team of respiratory healthcare professionals, including pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and physical therapists. Our patient onboarding, insurance, and operations team are experienced leaders in delivering pulmonary rehab through telehealth, ensuring a smooth and supportive experience from start to finish.
