Lung rehabilitation is aimed at reducing the symptoms as much as possible and learning to organise one’s own life in such a way that disorders limit one’s activities as little as possible. The ultimate goal is to recover as well as possible, to learn to push back and guard one’s limits, so that the patient can participate in social life as well as possible again.

Recovering and pushing back boundaries
How does the pulmonary rehabilitation programme work
The programme consists of various components that are well coordinated with each other. First of all, we work on improving the physical condition: lung complaints, stamina, muscle strength, breathing pattern and nutritional status.
In addition, there are various programme components aimed at reducing the limitations you may experience in your daily life. You learn how to make the right adjustments to achieve the best possible quality of life and independence. The treatment programme is tailored to the personal situation of each patient, in consultation with our Dutch lung specialist.
Within the respiratory rehabilitation programme, the following aspects are addressed:
- nutrition
- Joint mobility
- muscular strength
- Smoking
- Breathing techniques
- Improve fitness
- Relaxation therapy
- psychology
The pulmonary rehabilitation programme at MedifitReha is a multidisciplinary programme were the team members consult with each other and with you every week to see how the programme is progressing individually.
Excellent medical care in a favourable environment
You will become physically and mentally stronger with us. The feeling of tightness and fatigue will diminish; you will learn to cope with your lung condition.
During pulmonary rehabilitation you will stay at the Ana Maria Esponís Llopis Nursing Home located in Teulada – Moraira. On the top floor is the rehabilitation ward with bedrooms, communal living/dining area and the rehabilitation rooms. The stay for lung patients is necessary here because of the presence of oxygen from the wall and for the rest moments between treatments.

I trained hard with the therapists for 8 weeks. As a result, I now have much more stamina. I also feel much better. The healthy air on the Costa Blanca has also helped.
Mildred May, The Hague
I was made to feel very comfortable by the lovely caring therapists. I also stayed in a nice apartment where I got some rest. These 6 weeks have made me a lot stronger and more confident.

Really, what a fantastic rehabilitation center! Just got back 2.5 weeks after hip surgery. What a professional and lovely beautiful people! Highly recommended for anyone who gets "no" aftercare here, I recommend: go to Spain and Medifit ... health insurers reimburse this. Fantastic team!!

Michael arrived in Moraira in a wheelchair and left with only a cane as a (temporary) support when walking. Far better than we had ever hoped for! Far better than we had ever hoped for!

From the first moment that my wife Esther came to Spain to the last moment she was taken care of. Esther's recovery has been worked on both physically and spiritually and with success! We have never regretted it and will recommend it to anyone!
