Expected prognosis

Exercise tolerance and confidence can improve with consistent pulmonary or cardiac rehabilitation, but the underlying heart or lung disease may remain. Prognosis depends on medical stability, disease severity, oxygen needs, exacerbations, and adherence.

Approximate time

A structured programme is commonly 6–12 weeks, often 2–3 supervised sessions per week in guideline-based programmes. Homecare frequency is individualised; maintenance exercise may be needed for months or ongoing.

What this service covers

  • COPD and pulmonary rehabilitation
  • Cardiac rehabilitation after bypass and other procedures
  • Heart failure rehabilitation when medically stable
  • Reduced exercise tolerance after hospitalisation
  • Breathlessness, fatigue, and deconditioning

Physiotherapy & rehabilitation methods

  • Baseline symptom, medication, oxygen, pulse, blood-pressure, and activity review
  • Breathing control, paced breathing, and energy-conservation education
  • Graded aerobic and strengthening exercise within prescribed limits
  • Airway-clearance techniques when indicated and taught safely
  • Monitoring of symptoms and recovery during and after exercise

What affects recovery?

  • Cardiac or respiratory diagnosis and severity
  • Oxygen prescription and clinical stability
  • Recent admissions or exacerbations
  • Smoking status and medication adherence
  • Ability to practise safely between sessions

Safety notes

  • Exercise intensity must be cleared and adjusted for the person’s medical status.
  • Stop and seek urgent help for chest pressure, severe or unusual breathlessness, faintness, blue lips, confusion, or palpitations with collapse.
  • Never change prescribed oxygen flow or cardiac medication without the treating clinician.

Clinical note: Timelines are approximate educational ranges, not an individual prognosis. The treating physiotherapist adjusts the rehabilitation plan after assessment and coordinates with the medical team when needed.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know whether this service is appropriate?

Educational information, not a diagnosis. A clinician should assess the person's needs, goals, health history, and precautions before recommending a plan.

Does a request confirm a booking or home visit?

No. The team reviews requests and confirms appointment details, locality, and clinician availability.

What happens if Goswami Rehab cannot deliver my confirmed session?

If Goswami Rehab cannot deliver a confirmed session and it does not take place, we refund the full amount paid. Rescheduling depends on availability and is confirmed only when the team confirms the new slot. Patient cancellations and no-shows follow the published terms.
