OUR PATIENTS
SAY ABOUT US
Since I have joined tele-pulmonary rehabilitation I have noticed quite a lot of changes in myself. I am now more active and confident in my daily life than before. I have also gained weight which was quite difficult before. Also I like how much attention is given to every patient. And all the seminars that are conducted online are quite informative.
The maintenance program is quite a well thought out program, which is undoubtedly
different from our routine exercises and observations. It ensures imparting special
workouts pertaining to each and every part of the body concerned with our
respiratory system. All this is done with the ultimate purpose of optimising the flow of
oxygen in our system swiftly. I consider Maintenance Program as an All-in-one
Program for Pulmonary Rejuvenation, in addition to regular rehabilitation therapy.
The new program introduced in July 2024 is a carefully planned and designed
program. The positive point is that the group is doing everything together, from
warming up to other exercises, and as it's said, "Together Each Achieves More"
(Team), it holds good and benefits every member. Big kudos to the team at PPRC for
their thoughtful idea and look forward to many such initiatives in times to come.
PPRC maintenance program has been a great help for all the participants. It has
made everyone realize the importance of exercising daily. These sessions help us to
tackle the difficulties we face in day-to-day life. It has given great confidence to
everyone and made us realize that it is possible to have a near normal life despite of
the lung disease. Thanks a lot, to all the PPRC staff for the efforts they are taking to
make our life wonderful.
It was 19 months ago when I was diagnosed with ILD, and a thought occurred to me
that all roads are closed. But I was wrong…at this point, always a new opening
appears. In my case thanks to my chest physician who guided me through difficult
times and referred me to PPRC. Here I was surrounded by trained staff humanitarian
treatment family care. At PPRC, they adopt, and design new programmes all aimed
at healthy lifestyle of ILD sufferers. this family is like a guiding light pole in sea. I
have improved to such an extent now I can work twelve hours a day with lesser
exertion. Long live PPRC and its dedicated, well-trained staff.
My gratitude to the founders, for this pulmonary rehabilitation centre. I visited this
centre on recommendation from my pulmonologist to strengthen my lungs. I was
reluctant to go but on persuasion from my husband decided to go. I honestly feel
glad that today I am a member of this group. Every therapist who trains us here are
so patient and caring. When I joined, I was carefully explained very well the concept
of pulmonary rehabilitation, my treatment plan and what could be my possible
improvement upon successful completion. My treating therapist stood by me and
encouraged me at every step politely guiding and bought out changes in me. The
other members of this team are also very caring. The place is very well maintained,
and an uplifting feeling enters you as you walk in. I would recommend everyone who
needs lung care to be a part of this. Last but not the least, I should not forget to
mention Ushasham Yoga Centre where in they conduct yoga in a gentle and loving
manner. They teach yoga with their profound knowledge in very simple ways. A big
thank you to all of you at PPRC!
I have greatly benefitted from the tele-pulmonary rehabilitation program sessions
from Pratibha Prabhakar Medical Foundation. It is quite difficult to find a suitable and
conveniently located rehabilitation centre here in Hongkong where I live. And to be
able to do it at the convenience of your home is even better! I would highly
recommend this kind of online rehab for anyone facing similar issues. My treating
therapist makes me work a little harder each time so that I keep on improving myself.
Thanks so so much!
I have been suffering from COPD since September 2022, my pulmonologist
suggested that I enroll for rehabilitation in their centre at Goregaon. The sessions
helped gain my strength and stability. It was here that I was introduced to yoga at the
Ushasham yoga centre. At first,I was skeptical of joining yoga as I felt the sessions
would not help me improve my breathing but after I began my sessions, I noticed
that my breathing and oxygen saturation due to the technique of anulom vilom ,
brahamari and shuddhikriya got better and clear. I wanted to resume my work as a
teacher, hence I told my yoga therapist that I wish to go back to work. I received
support to become mentally strong as well as regained the control over my breath. I
was taught the technique to control my breath and chant “Om” if I get anxious.
During my sessions, I learnt various breathing exercises like Parvatasana,
Mandukasana, Tadasana Triyak Chakrasana, Hasta Parshwasana. Doing yoga
helped me to sleep better, felt energetic, improved flexibility, relieved me from being
anxious.
I have been going to Ushasham yoga centre for the past 8 months and I really feel there is lot of changes in my energy levels and my breathing. I am an Asthma patient and was using inhaler regularly from past many years. Now, with continuous yoga and breathing practice I have stopped using an inhaler. I really don’t feel a need as my lungs are performing better. I always used to have running nose issue which is almost gone. I have benefited a lot with yoga under the training of the yoga therapists who teach with simpler yet effective way of asanas and pranayama. I have learnt Jalneti during my Yogaabhayas sessions and I was so happy the way it was taught truly amazing! I can practice this simple yet effective technique of Jalneti alone at home and it helps me clean my nose and chest. I see lot of elderly patients too showing interest in yoga and exercises and they are truly benefited by it. Thank you to the Ushasham yoga centre team for teaching me and making a difference to my life.
From teaching the fundamentals, importance and benefits of every pranayama and asana, reciting shlokas and mantras, to teaching, practising and guiding every movement with me, I am grateful to therapists of the Ushasham yoga centre and look forward to coming to class every week.
I have come to witness how traditional Patanjali yoga can impact every aspect of my life. What I was particularly impressed was the structured and personalised plan that was followed from the time I had joined. From checking my vitals and metrics to going through a curated cultural diet plan to monitoring my pulse rate after every session, I felt taken care of throughout. It was because of the constant monitoring that a health issue was detected on time and cured. The holistic approach to fitness has taught me the power of patience, discipline and respecting my body.
Very few are fortunate and privileged enough to learn yoga from a guru who lives and breathes yoga in her life. She radiates positivity, strength and stability in every form. I am aware of the improvement in my overall fitness – physically, emotionally and spiritually. I am blessed to find a spiritual guide and lifelong mentor in her.
