Helping people just like you

  • I have found that the iMaster Health program has helped me greatly. Not only has it allowed me to start getting back in shape, but it has also improved my breathing to the point where I can walk, climb stairs, and even do light work without getting as fatigued as before. They can't perform miracles, but if you work hard and believe in yourself, then your breathing can and should improve. Mine did, and I recommend it to anyone.

  • I love this program. You can start or stop whenever you want. I am trying to do it five times a week, now going into week 2 and already feeling the results. I am on a mission to improve my breathing and think this will be a great help.

    Janis, 76

  • Excellent source of online learning for people with lung conditions. Every lung condition is covered with an educational component as well as exercises that include cardio and gentle stretches. Plenty of tools for your back pocket as well - breathing techniques and reminders/points to ponder. Work at your own pace, do as much or as little as you like, and refer back to any lesson at any time. Very well thought out, executed, and user-friendly.
