Care shaped around your needs.
For people with COPD, physiotherapy may form part of a wider medical care plan. Assessment considers activity tolerance and breathing-related limitations. Any programme is adapted to your medical status and treating doctor’s advice.
Common concerns
- Reduced exercise tolerance
- Breathlessness during activity
- Difficulty managing daily tasks
A considered approach
- Assessment of activity tolerance
- Breathing and pacing education
- Supervised exercise when suitable
Your first appointment
We begin with your concerns, relevant history and a movement assessment. Bring any available medical reports and advice from your treating clinician. We discuss suitable next steps and practical goals before starting a plan.
Continuing beyond the clinic
Where appropriate, your physiotherapist may suggest individual exercises or activity changes. These are adapted to your assessment and reviewed as you progress.
Treatment suitability and outcomes vary. This page provides general information and does not replace individual medical advice.
