Student Led Exercise Groups

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

A Student Led Pulmonary Rehabilitation Exercise Group was set-up in April 2021 by Physiotherapy Lecturer Sara Knight to bridge the gap created by the Covid-19 pandemic. This was originally a virtual class but has now evolved to a hybrid class where participants can attend via zoom or face to face on campus. The class runs most Monday afternoons throughout the year. Please contact exerciseclassSHS@rgu.ac.uk for more details.
