Abstract

Comprehensive and effective clinical management of asthma requires an interdisciplinary, integrated care approach that includes both pharmacological and nonpharmacological therapies. Pulmonary rehabilitation is a nonpharmacological, patient-oriented intervention that is an important component of the optimal care for patients with asthma. In this article we outline the components of pulmonary rehabilitation and the rationale behind its effectiveness.
