"CREADO North Devon Pulmonary rehab 6 week course"

About: Barnstaple Health Centre / Respiratory Medicine

(as the patient),

The course was well structured with great care being taken to ensure each patient was considered at every stage and visually monitored.

I learned a lot about my COPD and how to manage it. I learned the importance of regular exercise and how to do lots of different moves for both strength (muscle development) and cardiovascular improvement. 

The two trainers were very knowledgeable and experienced, and were very friendly and approachable.

I thoroughly enjoyed the six weeks. I have been inspired to further research and continue to exercise daily at home. I have already noticed a marked improvement in my posture, mental approach and physical ability. The crucial point that I learnt was that although my lungs will continue to degrade, building new muscles and pushing my cardiovascular performance will enable me to continue to lead an active, positive life. This is a major improvement from my previous gloomy outlook.

I would highly recommend the course.
