Respiratory Rehabilitation in Loughborough
Home-based pulmonary rehabilitation and respiratory physiotherapy in Loughborough for COPD, asthma, post-COVID and other respiratory conditions.
Respiratory Rehabilitation at home in Loughborough
Loughborough sits between the LE11 town centre and the rolling Charnwood countryside, with a large student and older population around the university. Patients here are often managing post-operative recovery from QMC or Leicester Royal Infirmary, or stroke and falls rehab supported through Loughborough Hospital and the Charnwood community team.
In Loughborough, patients are most often discharged from Loughborough Hospital (LPT), Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield Hospital. Local community services include Loughborough Hospital therapy unit (LPT), Charnwood Community Therapy, and Jay is happy to coordinate where helpful.
About this service
Glenfield Hospital is one of the UK’s major respiratory centres, and Leicestershire has a high burden of COPD, post-COVID and other long-term lung conditions. For many people, getting to a clinic-based pulmonary rehab class isn’t realistic — either the breathlessness itself, transport or anxiety gets in the way.
Jay delivers an NHS-style pulmonary rehab programme in your own home, using the same evidence base (BTS pulmonary rehabilitation guideline) and outcome measures as hospital-run classes — just at your pace, in your living room.

Loughborough FAQs
I get really breathless walking — will exercise make it worse?
No — controlled exercise is one of the strongest treatments we have for chronic breathlessness. Jay starts you at a safe level and builds gradually.
I’ve had Long COVID for over a year. Is it too late?
Not at all. Pacing-based rehab is the cornerstone of post-COVID recovery and gains are very achievable, even years on.
Can you visit if I’m on home oxygen?
Yes — Jay regularly works with patients on long-term oxygen therapy and adjusts the programme around your flow rates and saturations.
Do you travel to Loughborough and surrounding villages?
Yes — Jay covers all of Loughborough including Shelthorpe, Hathern, Nanpantan, and the surrounding LE11, LE12 postcodes. Travel fees only apply for the most outlying villages and are confirmed on your free phone call.
My relative has just been discharged in Loughborough. Can you start straight away?
Hospital-to-home transitions are core to Jay’s NHS background. Where capacity allows, a same-week visit in Loughborough is usually possible. Get in touch directly to confirm.
