COPD is a lung disease that limits airflow and causes shortness of breath. Normally easy tasks like walking to the car, having a shower and performing household duties can make the simple task of breathing very difficult. If you or a loved one live with asthma, bronchitis or emphysema, this medically engineered program can help: 1. Improve your ability to breathe 2. Increase your enjoyment to participate in daily activities. 3. Release stress Suzanne Andrews, an Occupational Therapy Practitioner and Host of PBS TV Functional Fitness, instructs you with a gentle therapeutic breathing and specially designed exercise techniques to help increase your lung capacity. Exercise is essential because the less active you are, the weaker your muscles get. Weak muscles need MORE oxygen and this causes a chain reaction of being short of breath. Suzanne guides you with easy to follow, yet effective techniques to create stronger breathing muscles. You have a choice of performing the movements either seated on a chair or standing. Wait, there s more! The DVD also contains special therapeutic energy conservation techniques to improve your ability to cook, dress, play with your pet, and more to help you stay active and get more enjoyment out of your life and a 30 minute Medical Matters program with 2 doctors answering commonly asked Asthma/COPD questions. |
