What we can help with

Some of the conditions we treat — though not exclusively.

Breathlessness

Breathlessness can be frightening and limit what you feel able to do. Our physiotherapists teach breathing techniques, positions of ease and pacing strategies to help you manage breathlessness, reduce anxiety and stay active.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can make breathing harder and reduce your activity and confidence. We provide breathing rehabilitation, airway clearance and self-management strategies to help you breathe easier, stay active and manage flare-ups.
