The air that I breathe
COPD or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is a serious and relatively common disease, but many people who are at risk may not even be aware of the condition.

In this issue we look at what COPD is, what the causes of COPD are, how COPD is treated and how your physiotherapist can help.

All the best,
