Pulmonary Rehab

Morning, thanks to the welcome messages and advice on this site I spoke to my nurse about the rehab course to see if I could book on. Following the conversation to cut a long story short, I have now been referred for a pulmonary rehab course via virtual reality, I wondered had anyone else done the course this way and if you know what I entails. Seems an interesting concept.

Thanks

Hi direThe reason these courses are unavailable is due to covid. I myself am waiting but I don't fancy doing it via zoom. You can look on you tube there are quite a few videos from around the world. For now I will stick to my daily 8 thousand steps around the local park. 😎

Thanks Alice a lot of people on here have said they are good courses will see what happens when I get the equipment. Perhaps you lose the interaction with other people doing it virtually

It is becoming more and more prevalent. A great alternative for tgose that either do not have in-person available or are unable to get to an in-person session. If you can find a virtual one that allows you to interact with your fellow members, that also provides the cameraderie and social contact with others also going thru this. That, I feel is also important.John
