Here’s news that should help the more than sixteen million Americans with chronic respiratory diseases—such as C-O-P-D—breathe easier: Pulmonary rehab is a proven treatment that improves quality of life, reports the American Thoracic Society. People with such conditions are often limited in their daily activities. But a comprehensive six- to twelve-week program of supervised exercise, education and support helps patients learn how to manage breathing, so they not only feel better but can do more in their everyday lives.
