Breathing Techniques in Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Breathing techniques in pulmonary rehabilitation help individuals with lung conditions improve their breathing efficiency and comfort. Common methods include diaphragmatic breathing, which encourages deep breaths using the diaphragm, and pursed lip breathing, which helps control breath and keeps airways open longer. These techniques can reduce feelings of breathlessness, increase oxygen intake, and promote relaxation. Practicing these methods regularly can enhance overall lung function, making daily activities easier and improving quality of life for those with respiratory issues.
