Rehabilitation takes place under the supervision of a local general practitioner with follow-up tests and an ECG.

Physical therapy exercises are held three times a week. No more than five people are in each group of rehabilitation participants. The recovery course includes group breathing exercises, chest massage, dry carbon dioxide baths and physiotherapy.
