"Emphysema group"

About: Specialist Therapy Services / Pulmonary Rehab (Nottingham West)

(as a service user),

The group I attended was great, staff were very friendly and helpful and I didn’t feel like a ‘newbie’ when I joined, all the other service users were very kind too. It’s a circuit excercise that you have to do, but I did feel 2x a week for 6 weeks it became abit repetitive, but I gave myself personal goals eg- to improve my walking distance each week, and I was encouraged to do this and cheered on by the staff , I did feel that doing the circuit in a different order than what was on the paper worked better for me as I got more out of breath with certain exercises, and I was encouraged again to do it in which ever order worked best for me.. overall a good course and I’d be happy to return again if I was referred too.
