Physical Therapy's Impact on Lung Function

6/17/2015

Physical therapy is often thought of solely as the rehabilitation of a person’s bones, muscles, and joints after an injury. Advances in the medical field have brought therapeutic practices to the lungs as well. These new treatment options can help individuals with lung troubles, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD for short.

COPD is a serious lung disease that obstructs the airways making it difficult for a person to breathe. It often occurs in current or former smokers but can be contracted through other means. Breathing in dusts, chemicals, and fumes can trigger the disease which makes individuals that have done work in construction more susceptible. It can also be hereditary and many people are born with the condition. Symptoms include shortness of breath during casual activities, frequent coughing, and wheezing. With over twelve million people suffering from COPD and an estimated twelve million more with some type of a lung function impairment, the new treatments couldn’t have come sooner.

These new pulmonary rehabilitation programs are aimed at helping patients achieve their highest level of function and activity. The exercises that are taught to patients are performed when there is any occurrence of shortness of breath. These breathing training methods can potentially save a person a hospital visit if done correctly. Methods include diaphragmatic breathing and pursed-lip breathing. Mixed with these breathing exercises is actual, physical exercise. Short, low intensity exercise is the best way to combat COPD because it allows for the lungs to be worked without maxing out their ability. Water aerobics as well as walking can help in regaining strength and endurance.

COPD can be a crippling condition and leave individuals feeling as if they can’t complete the simplest of activities. With these new techniques, millions of people can be on the road to recovery and resume normal activities as they once did.

i don't usually talk much on the internet but i had to open up this time because a miracle happened in my life . After struggling with Multiple sclerosis for 3 years I finally got cured by Dr Peter and keeping it to myself will be selfish of me. I used his therapy for 3 weeks and I got cured and now I have no symptoms of MS .I urge you all having MS, ALS, and Parkinson to give him a try at peterwiseherbalcenter@ Gmail. com or reach him directly on whatsapp +23490 596 106 43 thank you

I had Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) for 7 years, My first symptoms were dry cough, chest tightness and shortness of breath. This was ongoing for 3 years, my first chest x-ray only showed bronchitis. Finally I went to a pulmonologist and was diagnosed with COPD, I was immediately placed on Seebri Breezhaler, it's an inhalation powder, I take it once a day in the morning. Finally, i started on COPD Herbal Formula i ordered from NewLife Herbal Clinic, the herbal formula worked 10x better than all the medications my pulmonologist had prescribed. I have had a total decline of symptoms since i started on this herbal formula, visit ww w. newlifeherbalclinic. com or email info @ newlifeherbalclinic. com

I have had emphysema for about five years. I was on oxygen during the day but not at night. I could go about two hours without the oxygen, and then I need it. I had a converter in the house and oxygen tanks for when I go shopping, etc. I am 64 years old and in relatively good health. The doctor said it was caused by a combination of smoking, dust here in Vegas, and 30 years of smog in California. I believed I will always need the oxygen to breathe. I quit smoking 15 years ago. But the damage has been done. January 2017 my pulmonologist and I decided to go with natural treatment and was introduced to Green House Herbal Clinic natural organic Emphysema Herbal formula, i had a total decline of symptoms with this Emphysema Herbal formula treatment. Visit Green House Herbal Clinic official web-site ww w. greenhouseherbalclinic. com. The infections, shortness of breath, fatigue, dry cough and other symptoms has subsided.  I am very pleased with this treatment. I breath very well now and exercise regularly, sometimes i totally forget i ever had Emphysema, I am thankful to nature, the medics failed. Share with friends!!

I have been diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and my doctor has given me Seebri Breezhaler, it's an inhalation powder 44 micrograms. I take it once a day in the morning. It never helped my breathing condition positively. Presently I am taking AKANNI HERBAL CENTRE COPD HERBAL FORMULA TREATMENT (www. akanniherbalcentre .com. I take it twice daily morning and evening. It's a great help to breathing, it's a powerful herbal formula, 10 out of 10 from me

I have been suffering from (HERPES) disease for the last four years and had constant pain, especially in my knees. During the first year, I had faith in God that I would be healed someday.This disease started to circulate all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, a few weeks ago I came on search on the internet if I could get any information concerning the prevention of this disease, on my search I saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from (Hepatitis B and Cancer) by this Man Dr. Silver and she also gave the email address of this man and advise we should contact him for any sickness that he would be of help, so I wrote to Dr. Silver telling him about my (HERPES Virus) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! hmm i never believed it,, well after all the procedures and remedy given to me by this man few weeks later I started experiencing changes all over me as the Dr. assured me that I have cured, after some time i went to my doctor to confirmed if I have been finally healed behold it was TRUE, So friends my advice is if you have such sickness or any other at all you can email Dr. Silver (drsilverhealingtemple@gmail.com) sir I am indeed grateful for the help I will forever recommend you to my friends!!! with your lovely Email Address (drsilverhealingtemple@gmail.com or whatsapp on +2348123877102
