What is pulmonary rehabilitation?

पल्मोनरी रिहैबिलिटेशन क्या है?

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a structured, evidence-based program that helps people with lung conditions breathe easier, move more safely, and feel more confident in daily life. It is one of the most important non-drug treatments for chronic breathing problems.

Yoga and breathwork

Yoga at the heart of every program

हर कार्यक्रम में योग की अहम भूमिका

Yoga is not an add-on at Aroha — it is a core part of how we help you breathe. Pranayama, gentle movement, and breathwork are woven through every program. Techniques are condition-specific: what works for a COPD patient differs from what helps someone recovering from TB or living with a scarred lung.

योग यहाँ सिर्फ एक अतिरिक्त चीज़ नहीं है। हर मरीज़ के लिए अलग-अलग योग तकनीकें उपयोग की जाती हैं।

Questions

Frequently asked questions

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
Who is Aroha for?
Aroha is for adults with COPD, asthma, post-TB lung disease, ILDs, bronchiectasis, post-surgery breathing difficulty, pollution-related lung concerns, or seasonal allergy-related breathing issues that affect daily life. You should be medically stable before starting exercise-based rehabilitation.
अरोहा उन लोगों के लिए है जिन्हें COPD, दमा, टीबी के बाद सांस की तकलीफ, ILD, या अन्य फेफड़ों की बीमारियाँ हैं।
Do I need a referral from my doctor?
A referral is helpful but not always required. During your free assessment, our pulmonologist will review your history and may ask for recent reports. Coordination with your local doctor is recommended when needed.
रेफरल ज़रूरी नहीं है, लेकिन आपकी पुरानी रिपोर्ट्स लाना सहायक होगा।
Is it safe for severe lung disease?
Safety comes first. Your program is adjusted to your symptoms, fitness level, and oxygen needs. People with more severe conditions start gently and progress gradually. If your condition is unstable or worsening quickly, in-person medical care is advised first.
सुरक्षा सबसे पहले है। गंभीर बीमारी में कार्यक्रम धीरे-धीरे शुरू होता है।
What technology do I need?
A smartphone, tablet, or laptop with a camera and internet connection. Most exercises can be done at home without special equipment. Sessions are available in English and Hindi.
बस एक स्मार्टफोन या लैपटॉप और इंटरनेट — बस इतना काफी है।
How long does the program last?
Most programs run for 8 to 12 weeks with live sessions, home exercises, breathing practice, education, and regular progress reviews. You finish with a maintenance plan to continue safely at home.
अधिकतर कार्यक्रम 8 से 12 हफ्तों के होते हैं।
What does it cost?
The initial assessment is completely free. Aroha is a not-for-profit community health initiative — our fees are kept as low as possible. Contact us for current program pricing.
