It's very good. Go for it ! They teach you how to exercise which is one of the best things for COPD. Also they teach you about the disease, the drugs, the gas exchange. In fact everything you need to know.

It is so good - it changed my husbands life (for the better!) It helped him to understand Copd how to control it how to use his inhalers how to excercise. Enjoy! I

Hope you get as many positive benefits as my husband. Love tad xx

I really enjoyed my sessions at PR and they really helped, both physically and mentally. I met some very determined people who were living with COPD and not dying from it. Enjoy it. I think everyone does. Good luck,
