What is respiratory rehab?
Physiotherapy-led respiratory rehab for chronic conditions, post-illness recovery, and return-to-activity programs.
How respiratory rehab works at Pegasus Peak
We assess your breathing pattern, capacity and oxygen response, then combine airway-clearance techniques, paced breathing and gradually progressed exercise to rebuild your tolerance. You leave with a simple daily routine, and we re-check your markers so progress is measured, not guessed.

Respiratory Rehab FAQs
Do I need a referral for respiratory rehab?
Not for a private appointment. A GP referral (a CDM plan) is only needed if you want the sessions funded through Medicare.
Is it covered by private health insurance?
Yes, it is claimable under most physiotherapy extras, with HICAPS on the spot.
Can physio really help COPD, post-pneumonia or long COVID?
Yes. Respiratory and pulmonary rehabilitation is well supported by evidence for improving breathlessness, airway clearance and day-to-day capacity.
Do I need a certain fitness level to start?
No. We start where you are and build capacity gradually, monitoring you the whole way.
Is it safe with a chronic heart or lung condition?
Yes. We screen you first and monitor your effort and oxygen response so the program stays safe.
