Strengthen your breathing
We carry out the therapy a total of 27 to 36 times, twice a week for a maximum of four months. Each session lasts 60 minutes and initially takes place as individual therapy and later together with other lung patients. In the first session, we determine your current physical capacity in everyday life with the help of an intake interview and a stress test. Our therapists will then put together a personalised training plan for you. We will also clarify with you which topics should be discussed in addition to training. Corresponding training sessions are supplemented by individualised documentation.
