Singing for lung health

2 Replies

Singing is a great activity to improve lung health. In this short film, meet our singing group in Colchester.

They're a lovely bunch of people from all walks of life who have one thing in common - they're living with a serious lung condition and some need oxygen. Have you considered singing for your lungs?

Singing provides them with a great social life, but also a way of managing their lung conditions. Some have COPD, some have bronchiectasis but all love singing!

I breathe in and sing the doh ra me scale as I breathe out holding the last note as long as is comfortable, If you are breathing right from the belly it helps you to take deeper breaths and I believe its good exercise for the diaphragm. Also helps with shifting gunk.
