Pulmonary Rehabilitation at MultiCare Therapy Center How does Pulmonary Rehabilitation work? Pulmonary Rehabilitation is an education and exercise program for people with chronic lung diseases such as chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, brochietasis and interstitial lung disease. The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at MultiCare Therapy Center combines education, exercises for endurance, strength and lung training, functional activities, and emotional support. The goal of our program is to increase and restore a person's lung function, or restore it to the highest possible level for that person. We also address the person's emotional and dietary needs as indicated.
Who is involved in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program? Our Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program consists of a Medical director (physician), licensed respiratory therapists and rehabilitation therapists, including licensed physical therapists, licensed occupational therapists, licensed clinical social workers and registered dietitians. The multidisciplinary staff work together, communicating with the patient's referring physician, to evaluate a patient's overall physical and emotional state, and to develop an individualized plan for that patient.
The Care Team MultiCare Therapy Center employs a dedicated, specialized and highly trained group of health care professionals. A multidisciplinary approach addresses virtually all aspects of care and treatment.
