Practising regular breathing exercises helps to develop healthy breathing patterns which can lessen the effects of breathing difficulties caused by Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). This is a short, practical guide to using a particular set of breathing exercises, the Buteyko Method, which focus on relaxed, nasal, diaphragmatic breathing, to help maintain the correct ratio of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the bloodstream. The exercises are simple, easy to follow, and designed to work alongside conventional medical care. No special equipment is necessary, you can practise in your own home at your own pace, and this illustrated guide contains all the information you need to get started. This accessible handbook will be perfect for anyone with COPD who wants to help manage their breathing difficulties, coughing and fatigue with simple and effective techniques. Professionals working with people with COPD, such as physiotherapists and carers will also find the book of interest.
