FORMATPaperback CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

The Brice Method aims to show people with COPD how to recognise and overcome some of the most the common issues that can make breathing so challenging. The Method teaches you: how to listen to your body, and how your posture plays a pivotal role in how you breathe; new breathing techniques that show you how to avoid severe breathlessness, so you can take more natural, relaxed breaths; a series of simple exercises that will help you to open your lungs and mobilise your body; how to coordinate your breathing with movement, and allow your body to remember what should come naturally; how gradually to improve your lung and body fitness and incorporate physical activity back into your life. This book is a `must read' if you have COPD or care for someone who does.
