Physiotherapy for COPD
Understanding COPD and Your Lungs
Living with COPD—which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema—means your airways have become narrow, less elastic, and easily inflamed. This structural change leaves air trapped inside your lungs, making it feel incredibly difficult to take a full, deep breath. You can also produce more phlegm also called sputum leaving you with a chronic chesty or moist sounding cough. Over time, these changes cause persistent breathlessness, coughing fits, and overwhelming fatigue that can make simple daily tasks feel like a mountain to climb.
How Specialised Physiotherapy Helps
While the damage to your lung tissue cannot be reversed, specialised respiratory physiotherapy is highly effective at reducing your daily breathlessness and restoring your stamina. Instead of letting shortness of breath cause anxiety or force you to slow down, you will learn how to use inhalers effectively, airway clearance techniques and how to recover more quickly with breathing pacing and recovery strategies.
