COPD is a chronic disease that cannot be cured. Nevertheless, lifestyle adjustments can often slow the progression of the disease and make everyday life less restricted.
Die COPD Beratung arbeitet eng mit der Physiotherapie, Ernährungsberatung und anderen Fachdiensten zusammen.

It is important for people with COPD to exercise at least once a day. Move for 30 minutes. We have put together several strength workouts for you to do at home. The exercises are taken from the guide “Better living with COPD”.
