COPD is a chronic lung condition in which breathlessness, coughing and reduced exercise capacity can limit daily life. It is precisely with COPD that staying active matters: good fitness and strong muscles make everyday activities easier.
Physiotherapy treatment for COPD may consist of:
- exercise training: improving fitness and muscle strength, built up at your level
- breathing exercises and breathing techniques: to cope better with breathlessness
- help with clearing mucus: techniques to clear the airways
- advice on pacing your energy: so that you can plan your day better
Treatment is coordinated with your GP or respiratory consultant. Please feel free to get in touch for more information.
