Physiotherapy for COPD: Have you tried it outside of pulmonary rehab?

Hi everyone,

We often hear about pulmonary rehabilitation, but some people also work with physiotherapists long after finishing a program, or even on their own. Physiotherapy can help with breathing techniques, posture, strength, and energy conservation.

• Have you seen a physiotherapist for your COPD outside of a rehab setting?
• What kinds of exercises or strategies did they recommend?
• Did you notice any benefits in your breathing or day-to-day activities?
