Pulmonary rehabilitation is an exercise programme designed for people with chronic lung conditions. It includes physical exercises tailored to each individual, as well as education on how to look after your body and lungs and advice on symptom control.

We work in the Community Respiratory Team at Wythenshawe Hospital, and run three pulmonary rehab courses per week. These courses are a fantastic resource for people who struggle every day with severe breathlessness, and they really help to increase confidence, build friendships and improve overall quality of life for people living with chronic lung conditions.

We are running the Manchester 10K to raise money for more exercise equipment for the classes, to improve the overall patient experience. Some of the money raised will also go to Being There, a fantastic charity which provides patients who may not otherwise be able to get there with free transport to and from the classes.
