What is COPD?

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a term used to describe a combination of chronic bronchitis and emphysema, and it also covers a range of other breathing problems.

Many people suffer from COPD without realising and the condition often goes untreated. Your GP can establish whether you are suffering from COPD with a simple test, and you can begin your journey to a healthier and fuller life.

The Benefits of Exercise

Medication can be used to treat COPD but exercise and healthy living are vital in order to best treat the symptoms. Taking regular exercise may feel like a daunting task to start off with, but with the help of our team of experts you’ll be amazed at how your confidence and fitness will improve when you start the Vitality programme.

Here at Ladies Only Ltd, we have a qualified chronic respiratory disease exercise instructor who can design a personalised exercise routine to accommodate your individual needs and provide you with a range of techniques to manage your breathlessness.

Throughout the programme our team of experts will monitor your progress and regularly review your exercise plan to encourage rhythmic breathing techniques and keep you motivated. Your personalised programme will help you to:

Improve your fitness in a supervised, safe and social environment
Listen to your body and manage your breathlessness during exercise
Improve your confidence no matter how severe your COPD is
